A tip: You can buy decent, unbranded t-shirts from places like [0] for low single digit dollars. I finally got tired of every shirt being subtly different, remembering which ones fit which way, and just bought 15 t-shirts. Same model number, same size, assortment of colors.
There’s a weird thrill I get in the morning knowing that this is one less decision.

- AH4oFVbPT4f8 4y agoI've done this but from jiffyshirts.com. I usually would purchase the Gildan brand but they would end up shrinking overtime. Which is better, 3 shirts at $3 that shrink overtime or 1 shirt at $15 ? I think the key is to find something that is not 100% cotton but rather 50% cotton/50% polyester. Looking at the material difference between the shirts I've purchased, the Gildan heather colors are 50/50 where as the the other colors are either 100% cotton or 90/10. By comparison, the Dickies heavyweight and Carhartt heavyweight are 50/50 and 60/40 material.
- mwint 4y agoHow much time are we talking about? I’m maybe 9 months into my batch of Gildan shirts, and haven’t noticed anything yet.
- AH4oFVbPT4f8 4y agoDepends on the material. 100% cotton lasts weeks to months before it shrinks. The blended material shirts tend to last longer in my experience.

- Saint_Genet 4y agoWhenever I buy cheap clothes I end up regretting it. A quality t-shirt will not only last 3 times as long as a cheap one, it’ll actually look good during its lifespan
- id 4y agoThe shirts might be under $3, but I wonder what is the human cost?
- mwint 4y agoThe same as the shirts you’d buy at a normal box chain, probably.
