Need some new t-shirts, anyone know where I can get plain Bamboo or Hemp shirts that aren't too expensive? Can only seem to find bulk buy sites (100+) which isn't any good.

Thanks!

Spokeshirts used to sell them nice and cheap, wish they still did.

Every reply so far has built up hope only to dash it against the rocks of disappointment almost immediately. 🙁

it took so long as the quality of bamboo seems to vary SOOOOOO much across different suppliers. some stuff from the states went baggy after one wash. the ones we have settled on feel almost identical to merino and are great for riding/chilling/looking pimp

aldi had bamboo base layer tshirt style tops in a couple of weeks ago, awesome for 5 quid. they look perfectly good as a tshirt!
my local one has a couple left, might be worth a look there.

looking like 15 for plain and 20 for prints at the moment until we can up the order numbers significantly to get better rates. all free postage mind and possibility of STW discounts 😉

tk maxx had grey ones with black underarm panels- - around £9 iirc
use one as a wetsuit rashie - excellent
