Just curious, has any body here heard about the brand "avril"? Their products are Made in US. Durable.

I just got a Calvin Klein pima undershirt that I'm very happy with. A small fits me like an AA medium 2001 jersey (although their sizing is so inconsistent that's pretty meaningless) except it doesn't billow out around the waist and is maybe a hair longer. It's incredibly soft and thin.

I was going to ask what people thought of CK. I love their underwear so I just ordered a bunch of tees on their site with the 25% off sale they are having. Although the fact that you said a small fits you like an AA medium worries me since I ordered Mediums.

It's gonna look ******* GINORMOUS when you get it, but will shrink a ton after a wash and dry - much like most undershirts. I'd be happy to go take measurements of mine if you'd like.

My favorite undershirts are definitely the C-IN2 pima cotton shirts. These shirts have an incredibly soft feel, stay true to shape wash-after-wash (due to their non-torque design), have a nice slim/body-hugging cut, and best of all are affordable.

I got some of their t-shirts at Marshalls or something and they are pretty bleh. They shrink a bit but the fabric isn't stretchy, and I should have sized down. They are not short, but not as long as some. At least the collars are okay though.

+1 - Pima cotton is well worth every penny and the C-IN2 brand seems to pull off the body-hugging thing quite nice.

I got mine online - type into google and a store called freshpair comes up. They're on sale for like 14 bucks a pop for the crew. Free shipping - what you got to loose other than 14 bucks? They're sooooooooo soft !

I had a friend order me some wholesale anvil Ts awhile ago, I got the "fashion" fit, I think, it was lighter weight and more fitted than the normal T. I liked them a lot, though the medium is a little short for someone six feet and up, I mean, it covers with your hands down, but raise them up and you'll show some stomach.

So yeah, good shirts. I like the fit better than Uniqlo, though Uniqlo has a nicer length for me.

I tried on a Cap E plain tee in natural at the Levi store today. It was 90/10 cotton poly, super soft, and a great fit EXCEPT that it came down to the end of my back pockets! Hey, I like my shirts a little longer but this was a dress almost. If it was 5 inches shorter, and not $85....

Nordstroms V-necks aren't bad. Not slim, but not boxy. Kind of a bland fit. The sleeves are also done differently. Can't really describe it, but they feel weird. At $24.50 for three, though, they're much better than spending half that on Fruit of the Loom or Hanes tees at Walmart.
