Where can I get nice t-shirts from?

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

I want some good quality, thick cotton, fitted, scoop or vee neck, short or cap sleeved tee-shirts, in nice colours.

So where do I find them?

Have you tried Boden? you should get a discount through MN too

Fat Face or White Stuff

New Look?

Boden are stripey or not cotton, I've got lots from Fat Face quality bit shite imo, they twist in the wash and bobble, never been to White Stuff we've only just got one, will try. New Look? Good quality? Really? [snob emoticon].

Any more suggestions?

If you're blessed in that area, Bravissimo have them for bosomy girls, don't know what the quality is though.
And I've picked up a couple of printed ones in Laura Ashley, although haven't looked lately.

onlyuk Only 75% cotton though.

New Look are surprising good quality. I got some after DS was born two years ago and still wear them - they were a nice dark grey with a scoop neck. Muji often has nice basic t shirts but in very neutral colours which might not be what you want. Have you tried Kew?

Actually there is 100% cotton ones on further pages in the basic section.

I've had decent ones from La Redoute in the past - but the quality is variable; some things last for ages, others bag straight away.

I think Gap do quite good quality t-shirts but if you are willing to pay a bit more, Petit Bateau and American Apparel are good. If you are willing to pay even more than that...you could look at Splendid, C&C California or James Perse (online or in, for example, Selfridges). You can also get Michael Stars tops in Whistles, which are very nice.

Petit Bateau. Nice and long, too.

ooh that's a good list SkiMummy - must try some of those

another vote for Petit Bateau although their cotton isn't quite as good quality as it has been ....

www.harryduley.co.uk is good,someone from mnet recommended it.
I phond her up and asked for her to make me a t-shirt 4" longer than normal .She is very accommodating
Expensive but great quality and I wear it all the time,wish she did more colours though.

actually I ordered a v-neck cap sleeved which isn't on the site

Velvet has a fab range of cotton t-shirts. Absolutely beautiful. American Apparel would be my second choice.

After I had my colours done, I was recommended onto a site called Kettlewell Colours. They have a fab range of different shapes and colours. Wash well too. One year on and going strong. I do prefer the cotton over the viscose though.

Actually this reminds me that I wanted to order a couple

tescos fairtrade t shirts were great last year..not sure if they are doing them this year but maybe look out wash well nice shape..long enough and nice colours..oh did I mention cheap

ripmacwinkle- that site is fab. What are the sizes like? They look slightly short in the body .

I think they vary to be honest, if you click on a particular style they'll tell you how long it is in a Medium. Some are definitely longer than others!

I'm petite (but with a normal sized body I reckon and very stumpy legs!) and some are ok for me, some a bit long - but I still can wear them. I buy a small and I would usually buy a size 8.

Don't know if this helps?

thanks
I take it they don't shrink at that price?

Thanks guys loads of ideas, Kettlewell Colours looks like just what I am looking for. Love harryduley but don't think i can afford it.

I've not found that to be a problem.

But if it was, I guess I'd be sending them back!!

When I emailed to ask for size advice they were pretty prompt and very helpful.
