[#11194111]

I'm a firm believer that no man over forty should wear a t-shirt with any kind of print on the front (or back). Old Guys Do Not Rule.

So, I'm looking for a plain white (or natural cotton colour), nicely fitted (but not skinny), decent quality, t-shirt. I've tried some from Uniqlo but they're really nosey.

Where might a gentleman source such a garment?

It sounds like the only person who is going to see it is your mum.

Ask her.

So, I recently went through this after losing a lot of weight and having to buy new clothes. I went to a bunch of different shops looking at plain white, grey and black t-shirts. My favourite by far were Gap Stretch V-neck T-Shirts. I think they do 3 for £20 or something.

Will you be tucking it in to your chinos?

These, brilliant. Looks like you'll need to get them in store though.

+1 for Sunspel.
Also consider John Smedley - full price can be speedy but they also have an outlet; Crombie (NOT Abercrombie) do a very limited range of block colours inc white but they have suspended all business at present.

Nickc spot on. V neck t shirts are dreadful.

See, you're stuck.
You're at an awkward age where you feel you need to dress in an appropriate way. Not too young, not yet ready for old age. Your dislike of T shirts with slogans is a revealing sign; it reveals an anxiety, a troubling distance betwixt your youth and the years yet to come.

You need to start wearing shorts.
All the time.

In addition, you would do well to learn the art of not giving a ****; a life skill which takes years to master.

Well I wouldn't want to get a chill on my kidneys now, would I?

You're half right.

And no v-necks.

Fair play to ya!

If you're going to buy any T shirts, get black ones, and don't discount supermarket clothing. Sainsburys and Tesco do a good range in hard wearing stuff for not much.

WooHaa! This is the answer to eternal youth.

This is so true; it's just liberating!

Try finisterre, very plain with minimal logos and actually well sourced responsible company if you care about any of that. Patagonia, howies some of the banana industries stuff?

Or go for the one with a 30 year guarantee including mending if you get a hole in it. Pricey but long life

White t-shirt? What are you, the Fonz? 🙄

Anyway, Gildan Hammer. Lovely heavyweight material. Loads of colours, even white.

Just throwing in my worthless opinion 🙂

I’ve tried some from Uniqlo but they’re really nosey.

What does ‘nosey’ mean in this context?

It was 'boxy', but autocorrect disagreed.

Nah, this boxy number will be tucked right into those cargo pants. Possibly accompanied by some sort of 'approach' shoe I'm going to stab at a pair of Merrells.

Looking good!

👌

Yeah, pretty much most of nearly 66 years, and counting.
Currently wearing a pair of black Route One cargo shorts, and a black tee shirt bearing the phrase ‘SAME AS IT EVER WAS’ in large white letters.
At forty-odd years of age, one would think a man had gone well past the point of giving a shit what anybody else thinks, but maybe that’s just me; my mum stopped buying my clothes for me after I left school.

Hollister. Decent price, fit well. Regular fit or muscle fit.

I don't give a shit, which is why I just want a plain white t-shirt.
