How do GAP basic tees/vees fit?

They got a killer 30% off sale right now at GAP online store, was thinking about picking up some basic tees from them. I have been looking for the perfect fitting V-neck and basic tees for some time now. Right now I'm wearing mostly mossimo basics which fit okay, but the V on the neck is pretty high up and almost looks like crew neck unless you look carefully.

Seems to have good reviews on the site so I thought I might give it a shot.. if they are no bueno does anyone have any other recommendations?

Big. Try grabbing some UO tees on sale instead. Cut much better than the Gap ones and the XS is actually small

I found UO tees are too thin and shrink a ton in the wash.. I love the way they fit new but their lifetime seems to be really short when I wear them. Also they are super thin, and lighter colors definitely gives some undesired nipple action. I mostly use them for sleeping shirts now.

So the GAP are too wide, or too long?

I've found that GAP tees/vees fits vary from season to season. That being said, I own a lot of XS tees, and a little bit of vees. For reference, I'm a 5'6" 130lb. asian male.

The XS tees fit pretty spot on in shoulders/chest, but the length is pretty long and bunches up undesirably sometimes. Thickness and fit sometimes varies on the color. But I've gotten the best fit from the white pocket tee. Also, you have to baby these things in the wash.

The XS vees I don't wear. They're just too big in the length and in the chest. The vee is pronounced so, OP, you'd like that.

I'd look elsewhere. I liked the fit on UO items, but yeah I was concerned their wash life. They were also really expensive. I would look at Uniqlo and search the forums for tee threads. They might be outdated but should help nonetheless.
