Slim, long sleeve cotton t shirts

What's the best place to get slim fitting long-sleeve t-shirts? Specifically, Calvin Klein used to make something they called the long-sleeve layering-T. They no longer make a cotton version (only a modal version). I'm looking for basically that same type of shirt. The American Apparel ones don't taper at the waist enough for my liking (at least the ones I've seen) and J Crew ones are even baggier. I want decent quality, cotton and slim through the body.

Both the American Apparel baby ribbed LS tees (model 4407) and Wings+Horns LS static crew tees are slim fitting and tight at the waist. http://www.trendyblanks.com/details....yes&style=4407 http://www.blackbirdballard.com/Wing...eck_13661.html Also, most Japanese tees such as MofM and Lad Musician are cut fairly slim at the waist too. But they are not so easy to find and quite expensive.

Thanks, I've never tried the ribbed LS Ts at AA. I don't want to break the bank on what are essentially lounging or layering shirts. Around $20 is my upper limit so I'll check those out in store.

Zara super slim fit is pretty good for tees, I only have short sleeved ones but I'm pretty sure Kodiak posted one that was a long sleeve and epically badass despite Kodiak's penchant for usually having less than badass fits. They're like $20 too. The only FUCKED thing is they have massive tags on the inside that are designed to be cut off, but after you cut them are scratchy until you've washed it a couple of times and it's frayed. Also not 100% cotton, so if that's a deal breaker that's a deal breaker, but the fit is nice and the price is right.

Does anyone know where I can find some raglan long sleeve tees in basic colors (white, heather charcoal, black etc.)? James Perse has quite a few but they are way too expensive for me. Rakuten also has a bunch but the sizes are ridiculously small. Everything else is either baseball/two-toned or 3/4 sleeve. Help is appreciated!

Oh man, seems like a US only thing with BR. I checked the Canadian BR numerous times and nothing. Seems like all the colors are sold out too.

James Perse long sleeves on eBay. Always pretty cheap. Decent sizes and colors. For small guys you can occasionally find a size 0 (or did I buy a woman's shirt??? )

Velva sheen via Context makes a nice long sleeve tee. Though might be too boxy for what you're looking for.

and dont forget vintage..

Thanks guys, specifically looking for raglan sleeves though. I have wide shoulders and a narrow torso so when I get something fitted the shoulder seams are almost always too narrow, but with raglans they fit really well for me.

club monaco's are slim, soft, and often had for twenty bucks a pop.

H&M makes long-sleeved cotton shirts that are VERY fitted and by far the best shirt I've ever bought for such a low price. 100% worth it to buy and try one because they're so cheap.
