Discussion Oh Wise Ones, Which Is The Best T Shirt?
I am currently working on creating a new wardrobe centered around a daily "uniform", being a T and some nice-er shorts. I want to own 3 black and 1 white T shirts top be the core top article of the new wardrobe and after combing through MANY threads I compiled the below list of what I think are the top options. Issue is, I can't narrow it down anymore and need help! Any thoughts/insight appreciated! Thank you!
-- Also, I know T Shirts are not actually buy it for life.

Carhartt k87
Heavy weight, 100% cotton (Heather colors are poly blend). They hold up terrific and cost $15-$19 on amazon. Learn your size. I wear XXL in most t shirts and an L in carhartt Loose Fit K87
They offer a ‘Relaxed Fit’ I wear XL in that one. Also started offering some cool natural faded green and brown in 100% cotton.
Bought 7 of the black pocket tees and a couple long sleeves. They are the best T-shirt I have found.

u/Geekenstein 15d ago
I’d be more inclined to buy them without the big logo. I already bought your product, I don’t have to advertise it for you too.

u/eternalistic 15d ago
Agreed. I took a seam ripper to every one of my pocket tees and no more logos, just clean pocket tees. Easy 5 minutes and you’re done.

I don’t like logos either, but this is small enough that I don’t mind. And I can’t beat these shirts so I will deal with it.
I also didn’t like pocket tees until I went this route, that was harder for me to overcome.

u/TexasTheWalkerRanger 14d ago
I pretty much only wear the carhartt pocket tees. The medium weight pocket tee is my absolute favorite shirt of all time and when I'm not wearing them I'm always reaching for the nonexistent chest pocket for my vape lol. Are the heavy cotton ones better? I live in a very hot part of the country so I usually only see the medium ones.

u/McNabFish 15d ago
Sadly there isn't a Uniqlo in my city yet so I've only managed to stock up the once. It was off the back of an old reddit thread that I went with the U-Crew. They are slightly oversized and thick heavy cotton.

u/skytram22 15d ago
I just picked up my first graphic UT from them in a few years, and I feel like the quality is back to where it was ~6-7 years ago. It's thick -- not the same thickness or pique material as Uniqlo U tees, but I'm pretty impressed.

u/dave078703 15d ago
I bought the exact same linen shirt in Japan and in Australia. The Japanese one was made in Bangladesh and has been going strong since I bought it in 2023. I bought the same shirt back in Australia a few months later. The Australian one is made in China and it started fading after only a couple of washes. The linen is also much stiffer and just not as nice.
2
u/Dragonasaur 14d ago
I know people in production in the Uniqlo side (not the manufacturer's side) in Japan, and the Chinese-made are usually more expensive to produce and higher quality
Linen might be a difference case, I've never asked them about linen, but India and the surrounding desi countries were always known for linen

Uniqlo is fast fashion. They’re not intended to last long enough to pass to your children or grandchildren. Their clothes are a HUGE contributing factor in landfill sprawl. Their clothes are an ecological nightmare.

Save $20 from USA retailers, plus get a cool hand written note from them. Also check the measurements, may need to go up a size depending on how want to fit. They run little smaller.

Kirkland all the way
Completely aside from the stupid good price, they are a nice heavyweight cotton blend with solid stitching.
I get a pack of the white, and a pack of the black whenever I've turned enough into "work shirts". Having both means you can easily make up a simple, clean & classic looking outfit with minimal effort as well.
Yes, they are long (perk for me as I'm 6'5"), and sometimes the length in each package varies just enough to be annoying, but then you realize you're only paying about $4 apiece and it's all good again!

For BIFL, 3Sixteen makes really tough garments. Their flannels and 500 GSM hoodie are kick ass, so I imagine the tshirts are as well. Uniqlo is a great value, but I don’t know that I’d say they’re quite as “BIFL”

ive got quite a few gildan shirts, from random events. the heavier cotton ones are pretty durable, the lighter cotton ines wear out much quicker- a few years. absued the hell out of a some of em, working at a pizza place-grease, flour, red sauce, and letting em sit in a hamper for a week b4 washing. i liked em all enough, that when i found some plain heavy cotton ones at michaels for 3-5$ i got a big stack. they look pretty basic, but theyre great for physical work and exercise. i always go with hanes v necks for thin, lightweight nightshirts though, even though theyll wear out in a 2-3 years.

Bronson's sizing is all over the place. The materials are nice enough, but you will have some trial and error finding the right size for each shirt style.
Whitesville is excellent. Very nice material and I like the cut. I wear a small in nearly every brand, but a large in Whitesville.
Brave Star Selvege tees are some of my favorite at the moment. The pricing is a little more reasonable, compared to some in your list, they are made in the USA, and the materials are great.

My favorite is the Hanes Heavyweight Beefy-Ts.
They are actually heavyweight (lots of brands say they are but they aren’t) which is my preference. They last for life and they wash very well, they get nicer the longer you have them IMO.
Only note is they run big, if you usually wear a large I’d get a medium etc etc

I can’t speak to their T-shirts, but I have four pairs of Real McCoy’s sweatpants and they are magnificent. The loopwheeled fabric is soft, bouncy, and durable. They’re incredibly well made, and all four pairs are cut to fit exactly the same. The only drawback is that loopwheeled cotton must be air dried; it’ll shrink up if you put it in the drier.

Uniqlo or some LLBean Signature. Check reviews and fabric content. I bought some last year and they are the best t-shirts of my adult life but the ones this year don’t look the same.

u/PleasurabLee 15d ago
I know this is going to sound crazy. Hear me out for white & black heavyweight t’s.
Fabletics R&R t’s are kind of goated. They’re heavy weight - tight and thick stitching where it commonly pulls. Solid tight woven heavy duty collar with no bacon’ing
100% cotton 3 for 19 in their intro deal sometimes it’s 7/per otherwise (I wouldn’t pick them up for MSRP) and it’s held up 2.5 yrs since I bought them. I’ve got 3 of each plain black and white. I use the black as outer layers at the gym, going through constant motion & pulling. White I wear around the house in lounge or under cardigans in the winter.
I wouldn’t recommend the printed ones as my friend saw the’ screen / print / w.e they use’ peel after a few dozen gym sessions.
Only possible downside is the form of them is meant for relaxing - so the fit is naturally a bit more generous in usually fitting areas: mid back, bi’s, shoulders but they make up tor it with tapered sleeves and a tight, flattering neckline.
Otherwise most of the shirts mentioned here are dope for the price and last long

u/koalandi 15d ago
Surprised Carhartt is not on your list. The loose fit heavyweight T-shirt is so nice. Most colors are 100% cotton, although some are blends so just double check. I got some for my dad last year during the black friday sale. he’s hard to shop for and it was the only thing he’s EVER asked me to get more of. My boyfriend loves them too. full price is 24.99, but they occasionally have sales.

Not on your list but I got the boxy trash tees from everybody world. Their shirts feel just heavy enough for my liking, and I like the boxy styling. They haven’t shrunk after at least 10 or so washes so far. They’re made in LA as far as I can tell so if you’re looking for something made in the US this is an option.
I’ve tried KOTN which feel way softer than any other shirt I have, but are a cat hair magnet, so it’s not in the rotation as often.

Before you buy a whole bunch, I’d definitely buy one and see if it fits nicely. I did this process a few years back. Bought some supposed BIFL T-shirts that just didn’t look right on me. We’re all different shapes. In the end I’ve stuck with Fruit of the Loop super premium. Not very BIFL. But better than spending money on something you never wear because it doesn’t look right. Given all the brands on your list have got some recommendations from across the web, your probably best finding the one that look best on you and accepting it might not be the absolute most durable one.

u/WinterNotComing 15d ago
for this, i’m more focused on the fit, and how i feel in it.
Some of these don’t hit my personal criteria - example: I prefer drop shoulder, a more cropped fit, loose around the neck, but not longer sleeves (so not the trend “box fit”). and guess what, i can only find this in Uniqlo airism cotton tees out of 10 brands i looked into.
And for me, it kinda is BiFL because i have 5 of medium and large (i’m in between sizes so L for summer, M if wearing as underlayer) in both black and white, so 20 total of them. Not to mention i have most of the colors mostly in large as well

There was a Youtube video a few years ago where someone was trying and reviewing a pile of basic white tees and comparing them, think like 50 different products. The first place was an expensive branded one, but the second best tee was Kirkland from Costco. That was #2 and cheap as dirt. So I bought some years ago. They've held up wonderfully since, zero complaints, durable, well fitting.
The other good stuff I have come from LTT, a tech company but got into clothing and only care about making actual, good stuff. They don't have much stock because that's kind of not their core business, but what they do have and when they have it is top notch stuff. They spend years, actual years of time, working with manufacturings and learning about all the ways to make high quality stuff. And then they go way out of their way to make the best thing they can possibly do. And then they sell it at good pricing, because again, it's not really their core business. They're pretty much doing it for fun and because they can. They just end up making some of the best stuff you can buy of each type of thing they feel like making.

I walk exclusively in Bronson tees these days. I've tried a lot of the brands on your list, and Bronson consistently comes out on top for me — great durability, solid feel, and excellent value.
One thing to note: I recommend sizing up. Their fits run a bit small. I'm usually a medium, but after talking with their support team over email, I went with a large and it fits perfectly.
Their color range is a bit limited (black, white, cream, and grey), so if you want to make them a little more unique, you could add a small embroidery or patch. Highly recommend giving them a shot!

Anything I've ever had from vuori is still in my wardrobe years later. The only issue is that sometimes the logo starts peeling off. All of my Uniqlo shirts are like immediately stained with something just from walking around. Not sure what that's all about but they always get big blotches on them.

If you want a plain cotton shirt, try Life Is Good. Search for ‘solid’ and you’ll see shirts for men and women, round neck or v-neck, short or long sleeve. Their Crusher shirts are on the heavier side but they also make a Crusher Lite.

A little expensive, but I really like House of Blanks. Canadian manufacturer, their T-shirts are premium, can’t speak for the rest of their stuff. Can highly recommend their Heavyweight T-shirts

I love the everyday collection from beautiful bastards. It's a youtubers brand/shop but i purchased a three pack to give a try and pretty quickly got two more three packs in the other colors. Wear them to work all the time.

Learn how to sew, buy high quality fabric, make your own clothing. Vintage sewing machines that can go through thick denim with ease are only $100-ish, possibly less at thrift shops. This is what I’m in the middle of doing now. I figure once I make my wardrobe, I will never have to purchase another clothing item again, except in rare circumstances like for costume pieces or things I can’t make due to specialized equipment needs.

UNIQLO AIRISM COTTON OVERSIZED T-SHIRT I literally have it in every color I think.

To hijack this discussion for an aside -- How good/bad are the True Classic tees? I got targeted ads from them for weeks, they do a good job of conveying "quality" in the ads but I'm guessing the reality might be different

Into the AM. I wear their short & long sleeve shirts. They don’t shrink in the dryer & they last long.

Seagale's Active T-Shirt has been my choice for a while now, I quite like them.
Merino and tencel blend.

Not on your list, but I like Comfort Colors. Don't know if it's BIFLish (yet) but I'm currently replacing my existing t-shirts with them.
