^^^I picked up a bunch of tees when they went on sale at amazon, so just be on the lookout for those.

A could have the best colors in the world, but they're just too damn long. The ones I had tailored now blouse out around the waist because there's no tapering at all. Alt. A is much a much better fit, at least for me. The eco heather v-neck is extremely flattering on me.

I picked up a few v-necks when Alt. A was having their holiday sale, and I was impressed with the softness of the fabric and the shorter cut of their shirts. They also seem to be slightly smaller overall compared to the AA sizing. So I picked up a few of those eco-heather crewnecks at Amazon. And I am glad that I did.

The torso on AA shirts are ridiculously long. I had to buy a small to account for that..... and when shrunk.. are ridiculously tight.

For me the T-shirts are too long for use as an undershirt, however the longsleeve henleys and regular are fine to use as such.
For cheap undershirts I get packs of Calvin Klein from TJ Max, usual $10 or so for a 3 pack and decent enough quality.

you need a long shirt if its going to be used as an undershirt for like work clothes or something like that. If it comes untucked you get the fluff around the midsectiona nd look like a foolOriginally Posted by Davidko19
If you try to wear it on its own, then it looks like a dress at worst (baggy and long) or a tunic at best.

Seriously, we underestimate just how different bodies are from individual to individual. Many brands of tee's won't reach my belt on some bottoms after a wash or two. A pair of AA tee's to choose from makes my life a ton easier.
