I've been looking for tees that fit like the ones men used to wear between the 40s and 60s. Specifically, shorter sleeves, slimmer cut and hip length. I find that most if not all modern t-shirts have a fit that is designed to fit the largestt possible amount of people at once, and so it flatters no one. They're far too long (as in they go past your bum), the sleeves are too wide and also long, and the general fit of the shirt is too wide, with some even being wider at your hips than they are at your shoulders.
I did find a useful thread from a couple of years ago on this forum, but the shirts the guy was looking for had sleeves that are a tad too short for my taste. If I had to show an ideal example of the type of shirt I'm looking for, I'd point to the tees that Don Draper wears in Mad Men (I promise I don't want to be Don Draper, I just like how the shirt looks on him), Images Below.
As you can see, the sleeves are a bit longer than 40s Navy T-shirts, but they're still rather short and slim. You can also see in the last image how the shirt, when untucked, barely touches past his hips. I know they look better on him because he's a muscular man, I'm not trying to have my chest poke out through my shirt, I just want something that fits my body in a flattering way. I tried looking for muscle fit t-shirts, but the way they're marketed, I couldn't even tell if they fit how I want them to.
Any help would be much appreaciated.
