What's your opinion on which t-shirt is the most comfortable (when brand new)? I'm looking for the softest and thinnest material you've seen. I don't really care about graphics or not. I just want it to be super comfortable wearing around the house. Durability is not an issue since tees are replaceable.

I have not tried every single t-shirt ever made to be able to appropriately answer that question.

I do like me some cotton fabric though.

Honestly I've tried American Apparel and Urban Outfitters Ts but the best Ts i've found are the 4 for 20 dollars hanes Ts at Target.

Alternative Apparel claims they have the softest tees around:

How comfortable are these burnout tees? I can't imagine a 50/50 cotton poly blend being that comfortable:

lacoste even kill t-shirts with the stupid alligator..

and i know i already said it, but the perfect tees from alternative are pima cotton too

and the burnout tees really are comfortable, they are just pretty much see through for the most part which turns a lot of people off

I picked up a couple Alternative Apparel Earth tees and they are really soft. They're a little short though. I hope they don't shrink when I wash them.

I really like my JCrew "broken in" T-shirts. They are prewashed, so they feel very soft.
