Best fitting plain tees for athletic type?

YES, I know there are other threads about good fitting tees...but I feel that I probably have a different physique than a lot of people on here. I'm 6'2", 186 lbs. The best fitting tees I've yet found are medium Threadless graphics tees, but I really don't care for graphics any more. I really want 100% cotton as well. I'm looking for a somewhat tight fit to highlight the hours I pour into the gym, without crossing into douchebag territory.

Do you think these will be long enough? I've had an American Apparel hoodie and it was pretty damn short even in a large.

I'm 6'2 but really thin at 155, i think they'll be long enough as I don't like my shirts too short. I'd give them a try unless someone has a better suggestion.

They started making them longer sometime in the last year it seems. I have 2 yr old AA t and the thing is too short. I bought one the other day and it seemed longer. If it doesn't shrink in the wash, it will be a good length. I am an inch shorter than you.

I'm 6'1 and AA shirts are long enough on me. I'd try them on though for sure. They seem to all be different sizes...even the same size shirts. If that made any sense. Basically a M is often multiple lengths in my experiences with them.

I wish there was an auto-delete function to filter all threads with the word "athletic" in the title (0)

I do lift, but I'm probably nowhere near as big as you.
With that said, AA is indeed a good suggstion, as it works pretty well for me too.

TBH at 6'2 186 your frame can't be that much different that the normal guy on here. If you're a true 6'2 you probably gobble that 186 up and look fairly skinny.

No, I'm not claiming that I'm ultra ripped, I'm far from it. But my arms are definitely much bigger than they were when I weighed 150 lbs.

Do big arms make your shirts fit shorter?
