Yeah, I bought three of the "Super Slim Fits" today, and they fit pretty nicely. They are 10% elastane so hopefully they don't shrink much.

LOL at the "It's just a t-shirt!" people, as if the fact that its a t-shirt changes the fact that it should fit well in any way. If you're really aiming to look good and wear things that fit, you're not doing yourself any favours by refusing to alter something because of a generalization made by society that t-shirts are cheap and disposable. At the end of the day you're still wearing the t-shirt (and it covers half your body, mind you) and if it fits badly or could fit better than it does, then it will still be an area for improvement in your wardrobe, regardless of whether you think it's "just a t-shirt" or not.

It is significantly easier to find well fitting t-shirts otr than say a button up shirt. Why spend time visiting a tailor over something that trivial when you can just pick some up from another company for some pocket change.

It might be easier to find well fitting t-shirts, but these t-shirts may be A) too expensive due to a 'better' cut B) only available online due to the niche brand or C) still not the perfect fit for you because you have a particular body. And even if your ideal t-shirts are available out there, whats to say they aren't the style you like? Say you prefer printed designer t-shirts that don't come in so many varieties as a white t-shirt does, do you forfeit your style because of a silly rule that t-shirts are 'just t-shirts' and shouldn't be altered? It's a pointless limitation that has no merit, alter your t-shirts if you need to, just like any other garment you wear.
