Two videos this week
Don't sleep on the Hanes garment dyed tees
RRL, Sunspel, and Visvim are my favorites. All ridiculously expensive. Rrl and visvim wear really nice over time and Sunspel have the best fit I’ve found
visvim tees are incredible
I love that saying "if you arent paying for it, someone else is"
I recently started wearing some Uniqlo shirts and I don't find them that thin. So far so good with more than a dozen washes they keep the white and the shape.
I love the american giant premium t-shirt and would love to see how it stack ups against some of the brands you reviewed in this video!
I do too.
I buy Gildan Ringspun t shirts in packs of 3 from ebay at around $20 bucks for the set, they fit great and are very good quality, with the cotton sourced from U.S. Even expensive brands like Sunspel source their cotton from United States.
Everlane Relaxed Heavy Weight Tee. Best one there is. Period.
Nice Chronomaster Revival Shadow?
Check out Marine Layer's T-shirts. I love their stuff. Super high quality and amazing customer service.
I can recommend National Athletic Goods Tees (Heavyweight). I bought a couple back in like 2013 and and they're still as new! Mad.
the lady white is sick love the fit and texture
Goodwear makes heavyweight and lightweight tees MIUSA for about $40. Good fit and collar. Heavy weights a bit stiff. I believe they’re based in Massachusetts so me being in Boston I got my order within about 2 days
KIRKLAND'S ARE FIRE !!
Freenote’s 13oz shifter T is pretty amazing at $75.
The Uniqlo looks silly on you is probably because you are slouching or you are pushing your shoulders forward. And most of the expensive options are seemingly muscle fit or made for wider shoulders
Uniqlo is made for Asian physique, which is generally small by caucasian standards.
Whitesville (**order from Japan) and Bronson are great. They are $25ish a pop. They compare to LWC, if not better.
Also, there are other blends then just 100% cotton. cotton/ploy, cotton/cashmere, merino wool, etc all have different benefits. & If you can find a good vintage blank... they will likely be even better than any of these.
do you have a video on what attracted you to heritage garments in the first place? If so, you should make one! I've been mulling it over myself think it's a combination of post-modern insecurities and concerns for sustainability. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
I wanna stress that this is not a demand for sure very happy you are starting a clothing brand I'm big fan of your work
It’s a crime that the all time best shirt of all time, the carhartt K87, was not represented.
Great and simple video as usual. and, ( 8:18 ) Se7en is a great movie also
I’m a big fan of the Kirkland Signatures from Costco.
What are your thoughts on buck mason ??
Too good. Am I the only person in the world who thinks that t shirts should be tapered to the waist? I'm just not in to the boxy look.
Keep ‘em coming!
I’ve decided to stop spending recently. This video makes me want to buy many tshirts. Like $250 worth.
I don't think heavy weight is something that is universally appreciated in t-shirts. I have heavy GSM t-shirts that I layer with in the winter, but in warmer climate summers you just can't wear those in the summer. In these climates lighter t-shirts and usually blends beat anything heavy. You want something to keep you cool, and also to dry out when it inevitably gets wet if you move around too much.
In that sense, a lot of the heavy t-shirts that try to convince you they're worth the price because they're throwing a few cents more worth of material on the garment are not just "not better", they're unusable.
Yeah, this isn''t a comprehensive "best to worst" comparison in every situation, but one that suits Michael in his temperate environment. The reason he favors the thick shirts is because they suit his climate. If you're in the tropics or desert kind of environment, the tier list might actually go in reverse. Thick shirts will kill you with heat and moisture, and thinner shirts with synthetic blends will keep you cooler.
@@DeepFriedDoom not only in the tropics, i live in Europe, it gets to 40C in the summer, I don't want a pullover masked as a T-shirt
Love my Represent Clo T shirts! Made in Portugal. Medium weight and super soft! On the expensive side, but the quality is so fire. Love oversized and thick collars so these are my go to right now.
Hit the thumbs-up if you’re a $2.99 Gildan Chad
A little disappointed Iron Heart, Jungmaven, Left Field NYC, Sunspell or Velva Sheen weren't on the list. Might be worth making a 2nd video on this topic
Definitely! My bank account just wasn’t having that stacked list!
I own probably 5 Imogene + Willie shirts and love them. Couldn't recommend them higher. I agree they are washed and cropped to be like a vintage shirt, but I have no problem wearing them everyday.
흰색티셔츠반팔티에 청바지입고 싶어요😊
I'd like to provide a recommendation; if you're looking for the BEST men's cotton t-shirt, then without doubt for me it's Sunspel Classic T (the made in England version) for the price ($100). I've collected many T's, from the brands mentioned in this video as well as from expensive brands like Loro Piana, Zegna, brunello cucinelli etc., and by far Sunspel is the best at making T's from 100% cotton. So when it comes to T-shirts made from 100% cotton, Sunspel wins. However, if you're looking for T-shirts made from different materials like (70% cotton + 30% cashmere or Silk), then the expensive brands win because they have far superior mills / fabrics, but expect to pay $500-1000 for a t-shirt.
This. Also Merz B. 1940s shirts are a strong second if you can find them
This, this is what I've been waiting for! (it's just not very friendly for a UK market, but that's okay) All that and wearing a Zenith Revival Shadow, I could be in heaven. Uniqlo for me is the bang for buck - and I can get'um in the UK.
Agree with the UK part - Crew are also good
I’ve been back and forth about buying an Imogene and Willie shirt. This video definitely helped me out with that decision! Even though they were low on the list, I’m sold on getting one. And also checking out some lady white shirts now too. 👌🏽
I have one I+W shirt and it’s definitely worth it for the vintage feel and cool factor of their screen print. I have the lightning tee
Next time you should include Asket and Reigning Champ, and maybe Rue Porter :)
How tall are you and what size Filson? I’m trying to size myself
You should try Whitesville, they are pretty nice
Wait, does this guy wear extra small? WTF? I have a small resale company and those are basically worthless because they’re so ridiculously small. Is this guy under 5 feet tall?
this is cool, but nothing beats my 10 black t shirts from target that each was $6, from when I decided to minimalize my closet
Why are you supporting fast fashion? Cheap material cheap prices cheaply made.
Please do a video on henley shirts, especially short sleeve ones.
Dude watching from BANGLADESH 🇧🇩
Uniqlo airisms t shirt or nothing.
Cincinnati represent! Velva Sheen was pretty big when I was a kid. Thanks for peaking my interest in all things t-shirts. $124 and even $99 is crazy for a t, but that's just me.
Bangladesh actually makes both low quality and high quality clothes. It depends on what the company is looking for. Companies like h&m and Zara mostly want cheap low quality clothes so that's they get. They are the reason for driving wages down in garment industry.
poorest country in the wolrd too but all this outsourcing is gonna make america the poorest country in the world, and drive down the value of usd
That Merz B Schwanen shirt is so so beautiful.
The collar on the 3sixteen shirt was fubar
Would love to see this same thing but for 100% Merino Wool T Shirts
Rarely washing my denim has made me want the same for most articles of clothing
Thumbs up for the Kendrick reference.
I don't think customers should associate thicker, denser, heftier, higher gsm cotton t-shirts as being "better". Higher GSM cotton t-shirts are absolutely awful to wear in spring/summer, you'll overheat very quickly. I think ideally you should be looking for sub 140gsm/very light weight cotton in summer and +200gsm/heavy weight cotton for winter. I know this vid is intended as an Autumn video, but just sayin. Stay cool (or warm) people's! 🥶🥵
That's a euro btw. Pounds are £
Comfort colors $12 nice and thick for the fall
Heavyweight, dense cotton does not equal quality. I prefer a much finer, thinner T-shirt, but not that crappy, undershirt jersey material. Try a nice sea island cotton shirt. Sea Island cotton has a much longer, stronger staple, which allows for a much finer yarn to be spun. In turn, this can be woven into an extremely fine, gauzy, dry cotton that allows airflow, while also being extremely durable and had a beautiful drape and hand to it. Sunspel makes a couple sea island shirts around the same price point as those Japanese loopwheel ones. A little higher end than that RLPL, Brioni, Zegna and Kiton. Don't cheat yourself, instead treat yourself!
T-shirts? When I visit USA I always buy a few Russell Athletic t-shirts. Amazing value, good fit and they last a long time.
From what I know, H&M stuff is non-durable, made from a low quality cotton. Uniqlo ( at least Uniqlo U ) is pretty good for a mass-market t-shirt, but slightly rough. SDA is on another level, a top-notch fabric in every sense ( like other Japanese brands such as Samurai, Barns, Tanuki, etc. )
Ppl in SEA are going crazy over uniqlo which i think if overpriced and undervalued. Some of the design was good though
Have you tried bravestars heavy weight tees?!? Best bang for your buck weight to price and made in “merica
Congrats on the red cast sponsorship, they’re one of my favourites and the flannel is amazing!
if you really want to be disappointed in a t-shirt buy Dickies.. the absolute worst quality for a relatively high price
what about sleeve;less tshirts?
J crew makes decent plain shiets
Good vid man
I was about to pick up a nudie jeans tee yesterday but $80 put me off
But it was fire
You haven’t done any nudie stuff yet??
you know the schott perfecto right snail?? well they have a 50$ t shirt all made in LA too please review it?
8:22 "virtually zero gravity" then goes on a few seconds later to show a clip lifting the t-shirt then dropping it, as if to prove it is actually weightless. 😆
That flannel shirt in the sponsorship looks great
You missed out on Carhartt k87. I do think the quality has slightly declined, but they're awesome for around $20.00. I have many that are ~10 years old that I still wear. 👍
You have tshirts from 10 years ago think about it how you going to compare the shirts from that long ago and still praise them
What?
@@andrewc9790 your literally comparing tshirts from 10 years ago to ones made today like seriously how are you even questioning me what? Jesus christ i guess i shouldnt expect much from someone making such a du**a** statement
The Uniqlo supima shirt is the way to go. Pretty much everything else by them is crap though.
Finally fell across Michaels 'other' channel. RUclips algorithm took it's time.
Underrated video
Look out for detox got you a sub
My current favorite tee shirt brand is Gettees. The QC is solid but not perfect, the weight is nice and is supima cotton and made in Detroit, oh and they only cost about 25 dollars.
Costco. Nuff said
not sure if they’re your style but i’m a fan of Los Angeles Apparel 6.5oz cotton shirts. $26, USA made!
I needed this video! I also use SoS Cotton From texas, organic 15 -20$ cheap shirts.
Los Angeles apparel is made in USA and garment dyed 🤷🏻♂️
Sup dawgs how you doin
Try pro club comfort and heavyweight
In spring I might get a Merz b Schwanen cause it's made in Germany and then it's t-shirt time.
you forgot the agyptian cotton shirt from asket and the Swiss cotton shirt from van laack
Great video you should do one on finding the best fitting straight leg jeans from different brands
mmm if you ever get tired of that fox fiber tshirt...hit me up ;)
Filson is a scam. Their t shirts are just made in Asia shirts, garbage collars and stitching, people just pay 55 bucks for them because hipsters hyped their name up.
Their heritage jackets are still great. I could never afford them, but luckily I know someone. But yeah agreed hipsters def run the brand now lol.
Just casually playing seven in the background
Missing ASKET
hey pal, whats going on with your instagram? let me know - thanks.
Buck mason?
Lady white co's heavyweight rugby shirts are the only tshirt I have ever fallen in love with. Worth every penny
I was expecting to see Taylor Stitch in here! Nice video either way.
Pima cotton.
Hanes beefy tee
Best Made Co (now owned by Duluth) makes a great t-shirt. Made in US of US-grown Pima cotton. Soft, durable, pocket t-shirt at $40. My new favorite t-shirt.
Best tee's are Visim's Ultimate Tee (Sea Island Cotton) and their Cotton/Cashmere blend Tee's.
Uniqlo is hard to beat. Especially on basics.
I can't find that Fox Fibre shirt anywhere
The Real Mccoy’s ones are really good too if you can try them one day ^^
You should have tried a muji jersey t shirt! So far my fav tee
I was Team Lady White Co until I bought the Joe Mocoy's T-Shirt from Standard & Strange ($68)
You should try Uni/Form LA - great products.
How'd you size the Imogene & Willie tee?
I own a few I+W shirts. They have a vintage fit so they are cropped to have a shorter fit at the hem. But overall they still fit TTS, just expect that vintage fit. Check their site before buying because some shirts have different sizing but they usually say so on the site. Personally I love my I+W shirts and I highly recommend them.
I was just looking for a good basic T-Shirt myself. I wanted sth. heavyweight but as you mentioned they start to get uncomfortable because the seams are so big.
I settled on Uniqlos Supima Cotton and size up and wash it hot to make it a bit denser.
Paying over 20 bucks for a t shirt is a rip-off imho.🤔
you've gotten too comfortable relying on slave labor from the east. Good clothing made ethically costs money.
Jeez love the Chronomaster Revival Shadow. Video on that one day?
Good summary. I was a lady white co head before switching to 3sixteen. I think 3sixteen just does quite a bit better hanging onto its color and fit over time. Real test is always going to be in a white t-shirt. 3Sixteen’s thick white t-shirts dominate Lady White Co over time.
Lady White shirts will outlast all of us
