Where the heck do you get decent and relatively cheap mens t-shirts from? (feddit.uk)

I've put a bit of timber on but this is getting ridiculous. The only ones I've found that don't shrink in the wash are graphic tees from Qwertee and the like.

Any recommendations??

I've had to buy new t-shirts for the opposite reason - I need a number of pretty standard plain t-shirts for work, so bought a pack of Fruit of the Loom from Amazon. I've had quite a few over the years and they're a good hardy cotton t-shirt that I've never had issues with.

edit: do we need a "t-shirts" community to go with the "mugs" one?

I got four FotL tees a few months ago and they're holding up better than anything I've had before, especially the heavy ones.

Here's the pack I bought, the black is a little off but they'd usually be worn under something else, so it's no big deal.

I've bought packs of 3 Fruit of the Loom off Amazon UK - 3 different colours, 3 different marketplace vendors.

One set is perfect - heavy soft cotton, tidy seams. One set is a little coarse. One set is like sandpaper cotton, with jabby scratchy seams around the neck.

Good price, but I suspect that none of them are genuine FOTL.

Yeah, that was my conclusion - you'd think they'd keep a lid on such things on Amazon at least but it would be like playing Whac-a-mole.
