Kolek planning to go pro

I like white undershirts. Both crews and v necks. I have been rolling with Hanes for years, sometimes mixing it up but generally on the higher end of their various offerings. Last year I was buying “Hanes Black Label”.. they went for $10 a pop and were great. Now, it’s as if they have disappeared.It’s been very much hit or miss.. I’ll buy some shirts.. and immediate realize I got a bad batch.At any rate, I think it’s time to experiment a bit. Any suggestions on a good men’s t-shirt? This is for both wearing under another shirt, and for lounging around the house (when I’m not in my shorty robe and actually put on a shirt). Usually I swap them out after several months for a new batch… price not a big factor, but at the same time I’m always looking for a deal.
Most of my tees are VuoriEdit: Strato Tech
Seconding Vuori. I don't own any of their T-Shirts but the pieces I do have from them are fantastic, but very high/end expensive. Today more than ever, you get what you pay for and really good products unfortunately tend to be very expensive, so if you just wear them as true undershirts or when lounging at home, Vouri might be a bit much if those are the only conditions you wear them in and don't intend to wear as a regular shirt when the weather allows. I can't argue with 21's recommendation though. Their products are top notch. Another brand worth checking out is Mack Weldon. Mack Weldon products are also on the high end of the basics spectrum, but more practical and slightly less refined, luxurious and trendy as Vuori. As a result, their price point is slightly lower as well, although still pretty expensive for what they are, and unlike Vuori, they only do Men's. I have probably 12 pairs of Mack Weldon Every Day Extended Crew Socks and swear by them. It's all I wear in Winter. I have a few of their long sleeve pima cotton T's as well which are super comfortable. The only thing I don't like about them (and most other brands) are the stingy collar/ribbing. Because I wear long T's under sweaters in winter, I prefer T's with a generous collar rib of at least 1/2 inch, preferably 3/4 but those are hard to find. Mack Weldon's T-Shirt collars are too narrow to my liking, but quality and comfort wise they're great. J-Crew and Lands End also very solid and Lands End in particular has a very generous collar width. As luck would have it, NY Times' Wirecutter just published an article on Men's T-Shirts a few days ago so hopefully this helps. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-white-t-shirts-for-men/

Thanks, everyone. PS- I am remembering frugal I am with certain things
I appreciate your frugality, but I do note your comment, "Usually I swap them out after several months for a new batch…" Seriously, you replace all your undershirts multiple times each year? Maybe it's time to spend a little more and see if the new ones will last more than a few months.
Not JB, but why would I spend $32 for an "undershirt?" IMO there is a difference between an undershirt and a dress t-shirt.
Personally, I buy quality things that last and can justify their cost based on that longevity.
Yeah I would rather spend $30 on a couple packets of cotton ts and replace them every other year.
