Recommendation high-quality T-Shirts

[AeroLover]

I'm looking for t-shirts with sleeves that go down closer to the elbow. Anyone know of any "long-sleeved" t-shirts>

My recommendation for a great t-shirt: be in shape. If you're in shape and don't have a gut, you'll look great in any t-shirt.

After years of not owning any t-shirts intended for exterior wear, I bought one each of a striped style from the now sadly defunct Collectif brand. They're all horizontal stripe types, and get worn quite a bit over an a-shirt in the hellheat of Summer. I see a few motorcycle themed brands offering striped t-shirts that look good now - I've been impressed with Bronson (and would buy more if they catered to Western sizes better). Cathcart also do some nice t-shirts, The vast majority of the t-shirts I wear are just underwear. Consumables, basically - and I buy those from the local supermarket. Most do a good few years before they're in need of replacement. Can't comment on length of any of these - I don't wear any shirt (with the exception of an Eloha) untucked, so I always look for enough length to them to be able to tuck.

Here’s an interesting 1940s era striped pocket t shirt than I bought and am awaiting its arrival

3Sixteen do a good pocket T. The Telleson shirts I got a few years are really good, but shrunk. I read the new ones are pre-shrunk so might be worth trying. Next Level from Amazon are good for $10.

I like a slim fit, not too long a very short sleeves. I’m also not willing to pay $50+ for a tshirt. I’m ordering some Bronson shirts this weekend.

Not cheap, but worth the money imo

Velva Sheen shirts

I do want to try these someday.

1- WYTHE NEW YORK POCKET T $55.00

Fit: (Size Up ) Runs slimmer. overall measurements seem to land right where needed.

WYTHE NEW YORK

Oh man! I love those sleeves and slim fit. Guess this will be next on my list.

I have been a merz b. schwanen 215 tee fan lately since the bear tv show on hulu. The texture from the 2 thread knit is beautiful when worn. A bit too warm/heavyweight for summer though, but I like the fit, and I'd say personally for me the perfect grab n go week long tee wear.

I’m ordering some Bronson shirts this weekend.

I bought a couple of Bronson T’s from an American reseller. Thickness is good, but I’m not loving the pattern that much: narrow shoulders, boxy body and sleeves a tad long.

I can also recommend the “UES Japan” T-shirts. They come in a variety of Color + variations and are still “reasonably” priced compared to 100€+ loopwheeled T-shirts. Best thing: when I ordered the last time on their website, they offered a free “t-Shirt hemming service” which allowed me to size according my larger than chest and shoulders while keeping the body comparably short.

Big fan of the Everest Tee from American giant. They are 15oz and super comfortable

You might want to check out Bronson. MIC, but for the price, they're hard to beat. Really great quality.

 

[Chevalier]

I really like my Dehen t shirts. They need a little break in to soften.

I managed to find some secondhand loopwheel shirts at a local shop. The regular price for them was too steep for an experiment, but secondhand seemed worth a try. Wow! They are comfortable.

 

[Pandemic]

I wasn’t that impressed with Bronson’s ‘loopwheel’ tees. The fabric is nice enough, but the fit isn’t greats

On the other hand, their 40s USN slub tshirt may be the best I’ve ever owned.

Samurai does a two pack of loopwheeled t's for a more expensive but budget loopwheel. My fav has to be studio dartisan suvin gold loopwheel t's if money is no object.

I’m going to order some more white Ts today. Looking for that 50s super-short cap/quarter sleeve mainly. Preferable not too tight in the body, so it doesn’t look like underwear. Chest pocket is also a bonus for this reason.

I’ve narrowed it down to Mr Freesom Stanley or Wythe. The latter looks to have short but wide sleeves (creating a sort of wing) in the product pics on the site. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, I have the Wythe pocket tee and it is boxy with a wide sleeve. It’s also very thin, which I love for summer. The Stanley is thicker and softer

Very helpful. Thanks!

Update after some purchases:

Miltora heavy pocket T: nice beefy thickness and an off-white aged colour. Has a pocket. Need to size-up! 8.5/10

Bronson tubular t-shirts. Nice colour and fairly thick but need to size up to account for shrinkage. Great value. 8/10

Bronson USN tshirt: nicely fitted with very short sleeves and a short length. Nice off-white colour. Size up or it’s very very fitted. Has a nice bit of stretch to it. 9/10

Whyte. I sized up, so the body is a bit boxy but the sleeves are still nice and short. Has a pocket, so looks less like underwear. The sleeves give that bat wing look due to opening width. Some people like that, I’m not a fan. 8.5/10

Mister Freedom Stanley. Stretchy and fitted with perfect short sleeves. Slightly off white. Fits TTS. 9.5/10
