Isaora (merino ones are thin, but have a good cut), bread and boxers, Hanes, 3sixteen, merz (they are shortish though)...

Hows the quality on bread & boxers?

3sixteen are excellent. I can confirm.

wait je tees are $100? lmao

Some of them. They still have the cotton-modal blends for $50 or $60, but some of the newer models are damn expensive.

Has anyone else experienced slow response times from Gentry lately. Great store and generally good customer service, but I've had a few instances now where my emails have gone ignored. I'm usually not shy to give a call to the store, but sometimes when life is crazy and you need to email, it would be nice to get a response at least within a few days right?

I really like the eco jersey fabric tee's from Alternative Apparel--don't shrink and dry pretty quickly.

I've had sizing consistency issues with J-Crew and Uniqlo t-shirts pretty frequently so I've been looking elsewhere for go-to t-shirts. DSTLD has some nice t-shirts with a more modern cut and nice washes. They are cut pretty slim and long though, so not really that great to wear with just jeans or shorts but good for layering. I tried some Buck Mason t-shirts recently that I was pretty pleased with. If you look past the cliched "timeless, updated classics" copy on the website their t-shirts are pretty nice. Fits and drapes nicely and has a curved hem and good length. The neck opening is a little tight for my liking and the sleeves are maybe a bit short, but otherwise pretty solid. Both are around $30. Not sure what other options are out there that are reasonably priced. John Elliot looks nice but no way I'm paying $100 for a t-shirt.

I haven't personally tried Epaulet tees but a good option for both of you to try might be Everlane tees. They're $15-20 a pop depending on if you want a front pocket and they're made in the US! I love Everlane's transparency pricing also, which is a plus if you don't like uniqlo/h&m/Zara due to working conditions issues.

Cotton On. I'm 6' and these stay long enough. Cheap.

Those actually look surprisingly good. No sizing guide though. How's the fit? Do they shrink much?

Yeah, Everlane's tees are pretty great now. The standard solid ones are satisfyingly long and don't shrink at all if washed on a cold cycle and hang-dried. The newest cut is weirdly slim, though, so I'd recommend taking a size up.

Damn, wish they'd bring back the u-neck now that they've fixed the cut.

Everlane looks pretty good standard option. What's the deal with the cotton crew vs the premium crew? Looks like the sizing is completely different.

I like a t with a slight u-neck or a curved hem, but usually they are significantly pricier or cut too aggressively.

Went to my favorite fast food res taurant and the windows were so nasty I cancelled my order

Grana holds up pretty well, old cut goes all loose, the new one with reinforced seams shrink one size so size up.
