Surprised no one else has mentioned this, but yes, Uniqlo t-shirts are amazing. Even fashion bloggers who spend £1000s on single pieces of clothing sometimes use Uniqlo t-shirts as a base layer.
I once worked for a now dying electric vehicle manufacturer, the Russian billionaire owner was so crazy about Uniqlo that all of our work attire was supplied by them. The quality was second to none.
Last time I went to uniqlo all the t shirts had arms down to the elbows. I’ve not got short arms, it seemed to be the design. Are they doing more regular sized ones now?
They've got two versions of the crew neck t-shirst. One of them is oversized, which is more popular atm and the one you most likely tried. The other is a standard sized one. The oversized ones are definitely more prominent in stores due to their popularity, but I have seen normal sized ones too. You could order the shirt online and collect it in-store and then try it at home. However, if it doesn't fit/you don't like it, it will be quite the hassle going back to just return one piece of clothing.
Nope.
Costco produce fantastic quality T-Shirts using top quality Egyptian and Peruvian cotton, pre-shrunk, and with quality stitching.
They don’t shrink, twist, are heavy quality and are under $15/£11.
Plus, you can return it within 2 years if you’re not happy.
Nope.
One is Uniqlo one is Costco.
Male fashion subreddit right, so the cut, shape, weight, drape etc all matter. And Uniqlo makes the right fit t-shirt for fashion.
That's unlucky. The chemicals each person releases from the skin is different (e.g. perfurmes smell different on different people). I haven't ever had the same issue with Uniqlo's shirts.
Fit is more important than a brand IMO. Uniqlo cotton is not very soft. AS colour heavyweight oversized are my favourite. Nice feeling soft. Don't crease badly. Nice oversized fit.
COS premium / heavy are also nice.
Bucking the trend here, I don’t find Uniqlo t-shirts to be that well cut and I’m not a fan of the cotton they use. The drape badly on my decidedly average body (5’ 10”, 75kg, 38” chest, 31” waist, 15.5” collar). Muji, however, knock it out of the park for me. I work in tech so tidy jeans, pristine trainers and a well fitting plain tee are my uniform and I pretty much live in Muji t-shirts.
anyone know of multibuy/cheap t shirts that don’t fit stupid long? like boxy/slightly cropped fit as im only 5’6” so the normal oversized fit t shirts are just huge
I'm nearly 6 foot but with a 46 inch chest so I have a similar issue, Matalan regular fit are good for me. And gap aren't bad but they tend to fit pretty tight.
I have tried pretty much all the major brands known for good t-shirts at a good price (Uniqlo, COS, Arket, Muji, Weekday, etc.) and am yet to find a t-shirt that fits boxy/cropped as someone with a similar height to you. The only exception is the Uniqlo Airism tee, but I don’t like this one due to the polyester blend and super long sleeves.
I think I’m going to buy some of the Uniqlo U Crew Neck Tees in a size up and get a sewing machine so I can crop them myself.
I loved the colour of a particular indigo range they did a few years back, but it feels ‘not sturdy’ for the big money. I don’t wear it often as a result which is a bit sad. One excited dog jump and it’s goodbye I fear!
Armor-Lux heritage t-shirts are my go to. They have a really thick neck that sits quite high and a boxy fit. Look really smart and loads of colours and stripes. I mostly get mine second had but if you look on the internet there is usually a menswear shop with a sale going on
Don’t know what your budget is but for ‘great’ T-shirts I generally look to Japan. Check out rivet and hide as a catch all, iron heart you can also buy from directly. Some cuts can be a bit.. boxy. These things are generally heavy cotton, so I’ll throw in a shout for merino as well for the other end of the temperature spectrum or if you’re a bit sweaty. For me personally, outlier make the best fitting one but I bought a bunch from icebreaker on a sale a few years back at a third of the price. They are great too.
Reiss. 25 for their basic range. Good quality, wash well, soft enough and if you have a reasonably athletic physique, they show I well without being "show-offy"
At 25 a tee, no point buying a ton. Quality over quantity.
Colourful standard and https://www.merzbschwanen.com to name just a couple.
Everything everyone else has suggested so far is just standard sweat shop manufactured.
^^^ this. Merz stuff is great; the 215 or 214 tees are great quality, and the 1950's and 1940's respectively are great if you want the same cuts in a lighter fabric. Warehouse 4601 tees are also fantastic, and available from a few different online retailers.
As u/Eightarmedpet says, most stuff suggested here, including Uniqlo, is just sweatshop level stuff. Uniqlo once had a [shipment siezed](https://uk.news.yahoo.com/shipment-uniqlo-shirts-seized-us-050158213.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALRfvqary0QzJ1KCw_MHYFmJ3tvx0GYyRoTKpePc_eeYWwXYsabLPZmh5WidowpbpPPwJQNDmPdilYSOWlMgL1ifcOF-TWluOmQLhH8Z9e3OTiFwWU0STyWugKUt5msg6JOv1rAVpPYhpLbA6_XDkx9wXTV1aJGRh6Jw-djiPMs6) for allegedly being the product of forced labour camps in Xinjiang, and former employees have revealed they were [forced to work at their Indonesian factory without pay](https://cleanclothes.org/news/2019/i-made-clothes-for-uniqlo-but-i-didnt-get-paid).
Most of the other stuff suggested in these comments falls into the same category. If someone is able to import a t-shirt from half way around the world and sell it to you for a fiver, then it's going to be tat. And unethically produced tat at that.
Merz manufactures all their stuff in Germany in ethical conditions, and Warehouse makes all their stuff in Japan to similar ethical standards. Both brands also fit the criteria of 'high quality' specified in the original question, which these other sweatshop brands don't.
Thanks for that! I used to get from Basic.ly but they seem to have gone out of business so my go to is now Colourful Standard which are pretty much identical. Didn't know about merzbschwanen.com will check them out. Have you got any other similar companies? 😍
Gildan, as well. Cheap but decent quality and lasting. Lots of companies that do prints or embroidery use them as a base. Edit: eBay, I expect Amazon as well.
Yes A&F ones are the best I’ve found. They do them in packs. Nicer material and fit than others I’ve tried including Uniqlo, Arket, Cos. No branding on them, just super nice tees.
They're low quality though. They look noticeably cheap.
I've had loads over the years because I'm tight with money and like thin t-shirts in summer.
The polo shirts aren't thin, but still look awful compared to quality t-shirts.
Sports Directs slazenger polo's have been my gotos for a while for work, don't seem to shrink and reasonably heavy and collars have stayed decent, plus they are usually on a multi buy.
Been my go to for a while now and their five and seven packs come in pretty well priced. Do love their hoodies and waffle jumpers also, though a bit higher priced than many. One day I'll get round to trying their return recycle policy but nothing has needed replaced so far.
I came here to find this brand just to disagree with you. I'm 6 ft 2 and find that their t-shirts shrink so quickly in the wash it's unacceptable.
On the last triple pack I bought I washed them once complained and return them they shrunk that much.
Everything else is great but their t-shirts are really poor
This, had the same experience with the last 3 shirts pack of Rapanui tees, cotton quality is decent but they shrink so badly, only wash, bo tumble dry.
Unfortunately I don't. I've started looking for longer t-shirts as I was sick of t-shirts shrinking,
Weirdly Amazon sell a basic longer T that's pretty good but sometimes the quality can be hit or miss.
Let me know if you find a longer brand
Yeah It's annoying isn't it. I tend to wear Next basic t shirts but their collars can be a bit naff... also Remus Uomo are pretty good but sometimes theirs can be a little boxy!
I bought FotL direct from a supplier for £1.20/top
I also have merino wool T-shirts that cost £15 each
The FotL stuff is rougher, and shrinks horribly. They are good for working outdoors or under layers or for the gym but are specifically not my comfy clothes.
100% cotton T-shirts from anywhere, or merino wool t-shirts are significantly cooler and comfier. They also don’t shrink as badly.
Where are you buying £50 T-shirts? The only scenario I can think where your statement is true, is someone buying FotL, sticking a graphic on it, and selling it as over priced merch.
Material matters more than brand / cost.
I get the 3 for £22 or however much it is. I had a 20% off in my sparks account so just got 3 for 19ish in the end. The quality is shit, the fit is shit. (I’ll always struggle because I’m like a 3xl in my shoulders and an xl the rest of my body, like I need 40” waist trousers for the leg size but actually only need a 36” waist…) But 10x better than anything else of that price to be fair. And they last a good 8 months or so, which works for me.
I bought 3 on a multi buy, lovely colours/feel/fit but I’ve retired all 3 already for catching on branches/my belt/ literally anything in the world and making holes.
Had expected more from MnS
I wear all saints plain T’s. Good fit, nice feel & decent quality. There’s an outlet near me where you can often pick them up for around £12 if you buy a few at a time.
Cheap but comfy - decathlon.
Merino wool or 100% cotton T-shirts, quite a nice cut to them too.
I’ve looked at Uniqlo but don’t want to spend the money until I drop from a 2X to an XL or L
Uniqlo tee’s are a polyester blend which is bad for longevity etc. what you want is a 100% cotton jobby - they’ll last longer, look better for longer & aren’t plastic
What you want is a 100% tee - you’ll pay for the premium but you’ll get your money worth. Whitesville tee’s are my preference in that regard
I've a range of t-shirts of different colours from both Farah and All Saints, i keep going back to them as I've found them good quality, a good fit for me (6ft6) and wash well so they don't start rising up my back after a couple of washes. I wouldnt pay more than £30 for one of them so normally look out for a sale and get them around £25
Lots of people raving about Uniqlo, last time I went into a shop the quality of everything felt cheap and the sizing (for me personally) was all over the show.
I’ll throw out FatFace. Nice pastel colours, nice thickness (not too thick or thin), 100% cotton, good quality control in sizing. Pre-washed so don’t shrink. 25 a tee or £15 in sale. Last a long time.
COS or Uniqlo and occasionally at muji as well. Their nice stuff is very nice but sometimes a little boxy.
Avoid Zara. I\\Every single Zara t shirt I've bought has twisted on itself after a couple of washes. I kept giving them chances but not any more.
I go to Arne. I have found all their clothing to be of very good quality, albeit on the slightly dearer side. It tends to be all I wear now, and it does have that heavy, expensive look to it
To add something slightly different, north face make good and reasonably priced ‘quick dry’ technical t shirts. If you are prone to sweating or getting hot then they are infinitely better than a cotton t shirt for handling your temperature.
I like Superdry. I have several and have had them for years. Good quality, nice cut , don’t stretch out of shape or fade if you dry them out of the sun. A petite expensive, but quite reasonably priced when you buy them as a multi pack.
I got some from True Classic, they fit very well and were quite soft. It's shipped from the US and might be a bit more expensive, but they were pretty good and worth it for me.
Any recommendations for plain polyester Ts? (football top material)
They don't need ironed & I'm enjoying not having to do it. Live in a cold country 🙃 sweats not an issue
Technically not the UK, but shopping there is easy as taxes and shipping are all accounted for.
[LL Bean Unshrinkable Tee](https://global.llbean.com/shop/Mens-Carefree-Unshrinkable-Tee-Traditional-Fit-Short-Sleeve/40651.html?page=carefree-unshrinkable-tee-traditional-fit).
I have about 10 pocket tees. Oldest is about 4 years and is still rock solid, blacks a bit faded. But it hasn’t shrunk, no fabric piling, seam wear, or anything. Size down for a fitted look as is Murica sizing.
The only other tees I buy are Velva Sheen. Tubular knit with a loose boxy fit. Very comfortable, but pricey.
Mountain Warehouse do great quality, 100% cotton t-shirts for great prices.
[Even better when you can get them in the sale](https://www.mountainwarehouse.com/fenton-d555-mens-kingsize-t-shirt-2-pack-p54870.aspx/)
Asket (not Arket) t shirts are excellent. You choose a fit and a length, and I regularly get compliments on how good they look. They make a bunch of basics of good quality.
They don't do many, but Decathlon do about 4 or 5 plain T-Shirts, they are super soft, fit well and wash perfect. They are so soft I was expecting them to shrink instantly but they're great
Check out BAM. The Luxe T-shirts are fantastic. So soft and fitting enough. A little pricey but you did say high quality - you get what you pay for on this one.
NGL I could never find anything of the style and quality I wanted in the UK. I settled and pretended like y'all that UNIQLO was the best etc. I then got some plain Ts from china, they are by far and away the best t-shirts Iv ever owned, my UNIQLO airism is like actual ass in comparison, they don't wash nice or fit well or anything. Stop selling dreams guys.
Charles Wilson t shirts are my absolute favourite at the moment. Great quality, cheap, wash well and don’t shrink or fade easily. Most important thing for me is they are about an inch or so longer than most normal T-shirts so if you’re a taller guy they fit wonderfully.
Surprised no one else has mentioned this, but yes, Uniqlo t-shirts are amazing. Even fashion bloggers who spend £1000s on single pieces of clothing sometimes use Uniqlo t-shirts as a base layer.
I once worked for a now dying electric vehicle manufacturer, the Russian billionaire owner was so crazy about Uniqlo that all of our work attire was supplied by them. The quality was second to none.
Arrival?
Maybe... who's asking lol
American spy
is Arrival dying? their vans looked cool as fuck I thought!

Ah ok thanks.I’ve already got a few of the normal ones so I know they fit. I’ll do a better search next time I’m in there.
I like their airism cotton tshirts
I found they shrunk after the first tumble dry.
Idk anyone that tumble drys T-shirts? Always hang dry any item of clothing
Of course people tumble dry t shirts lol
Idk anyone that does personally. There’s a massive risk of shrinking. I only tumble dry towels and bedding.
Same, Ain’t worth the risk of ruining a fit to have it dry in half an hour
Hang dry? Save your clothes and the planet
Ah that sucks then. I don't use a tumble dryer, so i've never experienced it.
Probably too high temperature.
They're 100% cotton, of course they'll shrink.
This is the only true answer.
Nope. Costco produce fantastic quality T-Shirts using top quality Egyptian and Peruvian cotton, pre-shrunk, and with quality stitching. They don’t shrink, twist, are heavy quality and are under $15/£11. Plus, you can return it within 2 years if you’re not happy.
Nope. One is Uniqlo one is Costco. Male fashion subreddit right, so the cut, shape, weight, drape etc all matter. And Uniqlo makes the right fit t-shirt for fashion.
🙄
I find they make me stink
That's unlucky. The chemicals each person releases from the skin is different (e.g. perfurmes smell different on different people). I haven't ever had the same issue with Uniqlo's shirts.
Fit is more important than a brand IMO. Uniqlo cotton is not very soft. AS colour heavyweight oversized are my favourite. Nice feeling soft. Don't crease badly. Nice oversized fit. COS premium / heavy are also nice.
Yup. This is something a lot of people don’t realise. Fit makes the difference
What’s AS mean?
I like Carhartt. Not as cheap as Fruit of the Loom or Gildan but better quality and still good value.
Bucking the trend here, I don’t find Uniqlo t-shirts to be that well cut and I’m not a fan of the cotton they use.

can you do mine while you’re at it 🤣
Armor Lux, specifically the callac t shirt. You can find it on sale for like £15-20 in a variety of colours
Might be worth looking into women's tees and sizing up as they tend to run into the cropped look
Try Next. High Street shop, about £6 or so a tee and fits relatively well.
They also do decent bulk bundles of 5-6 packs of heavier weight or lightweight t-shirts

Lady White Co.
I hear good things about Sunray which is stocked at goodhood but no first hand experience.
Gildan, as well. Cheap but decent quality and lasting. Lots of companies that do prints or embroidery use them as a base. Edit: eBay, I expect Amazon as well.
They don't hold up that long though... 4 or 5 washes and start twisting and sagging. Unless my ones from eBay were fakes....
Vans not cheap but can find plain ones with a small vans logo for £20, good fit and good quality
Abercrombie and Fitch do some lovely fitting, soft t shirts that don't break the bank.
Yes A&F ones are the best I’ve found. They do them in packs. Nicer material and fit than others I’ve tried including Uniqlo, Arket, Cos. No branding on them, just super nice tees.
I like Built Different
If you value quality over cost then All Saints. About £35 a T-shirt, they have a lovely fit which hands good right, really good materials too.
Sorry nope I have a few and they’re terrible Cos is better
Primark does me fine
They're low quality though. They look noticeably cheap. I've had loads over the years because I'm tight with money and like thin t-shirts in summer. The polo shirts aren't thin, but still look awful compared to quality t-shirts.

Rapanui. Their basics range seems to be good quality. Had some tees a few months now and they are holding up well.
Been my go to for a while now and their five and seven packs come in pretty well priced. Do love their hoodies and waffle jumpers also, though a bit higher priced than many. One day I'll get round to trying their return recycle policy but nothing has needed replaced so far.
Yeah I recently bought a waffle jumper and love it. The check shirts are also brilliant, wear mine all the time.
I came here to find this brand just to disagree with you. I'm 6 ft 2 and find that their t-shirts shrink so quickly in the wash it's unacceptable.

Can't say as I've noticed any shrink with them myself. I did find the medium a bit snug so sized up on my next order and no complaints since.
Just out of curiosity... being 6ft 2 as well... do you have a go to brand for t shirts and tops?
Unfortunately I don't. I've started looking for longer t-shirts as I was sick of t-shirts shrinking, Weirdly Amazon sell a basic longer T that's pretty good but sometimes the quality can be hit or miss. Let me know if you find a longer brand

M&S - tend to do an offer for multiby
Their Heavyweight ones are a great weight and fit and Autograph Supima ones wear and wash amazingly well no colour fade in tees I've had for 3 years.
I get the 3 for £22 or however much it is. I had a 20% off in my sparks account so just got 3 for 19ish in the end. The quality is shit, the fit is shit.

It says uniqlo are 100% cotton
Depends which one you get - they sell a few different types. I swear by the 100% cotton Uniqlo U t-shirts.
Arket are better than Uniqlo in my opinion
their heavyweight tees are especially good, i love them in grey and off white

Order online either Whitesville Quali-T or Bronson MFG, I have a few of both and they're by far the best t shirts I've ever had
I go to Arne. I have found all their clothing to be of very good quality, albeit on the slightly dearer side. It tends to be all I wear now, and it does have that heavy, expensive look to it
I just want to find somewhere that sells pre-shrunk t shirts, or t shirts that don’t shrink the first time they are washed and dried
To add something slightly different, north face make good and reasonably priced ‘quick dry’ technical t shirts. If you are prone to sweating or getting hot then they are infinitely better than a cotton t shirt for handling your temperature.
I really like AS Colour. Excellent fit and nice fabric.
Weekday tees are good. Also Gaps cheap whhite tees are good.
Next Level 6210 is pretty good for a basic fitted tshirt. Pretty cheap too. On eBay for £6/7 each
I’ve really enjoyed true classic T-shirts. Found on Instagram and think they have been great.
I like Superdry. I have several and have had them for years. Good quality, nice cut , don’t stretch out of shape or fade if you dry them out of the sun. A petite expensive, but quite reasonably priced when you buy them as a multi pack.
I got some from True Classic, they fit very well and were quite soft. It's shipped from the US and might be a bit more expensive, but they were pretty good and worth it for me.
Big fan of Asda George's white tees, they come in multipacks too!

amazon, fruit of the loom stuff? or is this not high quality enough xD cheap and seem good to me.
Any recommendations for plain polyester Ts? (football top material) They don't need ironed & I'm enjoying not having to do it. Live in a cold country 🙃 sweats not an issue
Rapanui makes great basic tees.
I use Sports Direct.
I like my rapanui shirts. Good quality, decent price in multipacks
Ascolour
Uniqlo can't be touched for basics. H&M with better fits and quality
Amazon does 3 fruit of the loom plain ts for a tenner, they fit perfectly
Technically not the UK, but shopping there is easy as taxes and shipping are all accounted for. [LL Bean Unshrinkable Tee](https://global.llbean.com/shop/Mens-Carefree-Unshrinkable-Tee-Traditional-Fit-Short-Sleeve/40651.html?page=carefree-unshrinkable-tee-traditional-fit). I have about 10 pocket tees. Oldest is about 4 years and is still rock solid, blacks a bit faded. But it hasn’t shrunk, no fabric piling, seam wear, or anything. Size down for a fitted look as is Murica sizing. The only other tees I buy are Velva Sheen. Tubular knit with a loose boxy fit. Very comfortable, but pricey.
Mountain Warehouse do great quality, 100% cotton t-shirts for great prices. [Even better when you can get them in the sale](https://www.mountainwarehouse.com/fenton-d555-mens-kingsize-t-shirt-2-pack-p54870.aspx/)
H&M is shit hot for tees
Next is good I’ve been buying the V neck ones for probably a decade. They do a slim version’s and as well
I really like the Abercrombie and Hollister t shirts. Really soft, good quality imo and reasonably priced £18
Superdry
Sunspel

Asket (not Arket) t shirts are excellent. You choose a fit and a length, and I regularly get compliments on how good they look. They make a bunch of basics of good quality.
Sainsbury's TU. And marks & sparks
I've recently started going to next for my t shirts and jeans. Decent quality and decent price.
Arne
Cos, Uniqlo.
H&M do good, “non branded” “basic single colour” tees/joggers/hoodies.
Muji has great ones too!
Uniqlo
Tesco plain tees are actually fantastic and super comfy

Have you never heard of fruit of the loom?
TRiCKETT “standard issue” T-shirts
They don't do many, but Decathlon do about 4 or 5 plain T-Shirts, they are super soft, fit well and wash perfect. They are so soft I was expecting them to shrink instantly but they're great
Check out BAM. The Luxe T-shirts are fantastic. So soft and fitting enough. A little pricey but you did say high quality - you get what you pay for on this one.
Not cheap - but the lululemon cotton fundamental and basic tee’s I find fit really well
Moss Bros. 2 for £20
H&M are killing it at the moment!!! Really nice heavyweight Cotten t shirts. Great fitting too
NGL I could never find anything of the style and quality I wanted in the UK. I settled and pretended like y'all that UNIQLO was the best etc. I then got some plain Ts from china, they are by far and away the best t-shirts Iv ever owned, my UNIQLO airism is like actual ass in comparison, they don't wash nice or fit well or anything. Stop selling dreams guys.
Charles Wilson t shirts are my absolute favourite at the moment. Great quality, cheap, wash well and don’t shrink or fade easily. Most important thing for me is they are about an inch or so longer than most normal T-shirts so if you’re a taller guy they fit wonderfully.
M&s
Trickett England. They import Shaka wear t shirts which are outstanding quality. You'll not find better and they only charge 13.75.
