Alternative Apparel Question

Wondering about their basic tshirts. I'm looking for something that is similar to American Apparel but with a wider neck hole. Does Alt Apparel offer this? It looks to be that way from the pictures.

I only have experience with their v-necks but they have a wider neck hole than the American A that I have. I generally mostly wear v-necks because my neck is huge from wrestling.

The main differences I've noticed with Alternative (as compared to AA) is that the necks are wider, length is shorter, and the shirts do not shrink as much when washed.

Also, the Alternative shirts are less likely to have stray threads and messed-up looking stitching. So I would say the quality is higher too.
