seconded, pretty good stuff although the sizing can be inconsistent so try before you buy.

+1 on the target tees. Both the body and sleeves are fitted and the material is pretty comfortable. Only downside is the v on the v-neck is pretty shallow.

H&M is good for shorter t-shirts, but they seem to get holes quicker than any of my other t-shirts.

Which Hanes? I ended up getting the perfect T because it was 'perfect'. I think it's quite nice as a normal t-shirt since the v isn't that deep but it isn't that good for undershirt wear.

I bought a Hanes Premium crew-neck 3-pack yesterday. It's slim-fit!

I bought a Target shirt the other day it says Coca-Cola on it. The shirt looks and feels really old (its red but throws a pink cast because of the white threads showing through its so thin), and fits really good (kind of long though, but Im mad short). I had to buy a medium these ares so small.

They had a cool 'vintage' Rolling Stones graphic but Tee these all fit weird.

i have only bought the ones in the 3-pack bag. from what little comparing i've done, their different lines are all basically the same. they all had the same marketing points on the packaging and were all made of the same material, so i couldn't convince myself to buy 2 shirts for $10 with a 3-pack of what seemed like identical shirts for a few dollars more hanging next to them.

The perfect T's are a thicker weight, hence the higher price, and are supposed to be more of an outer T.

I believe the 3 packs are supposed to be worn as undershirts, although you can wear them as a single layer if you choose to.

Either way, I'm going to pick up some of the Mossimo T-shirts when they go on sale again ($7)

I bought a pack of the Hanes v-neck undershirts last weekend. Just the fit I was looking for: roomy, but trim down the sides and long in the body with a fairly deep v-neck.

Unfortunately, they didn't survive the wash. I washed most of them with cold water and dried on medium heat last night. I could barely put the shirt on this morning. One hadn't been washed since I was wearing it last night, so I measured the two for comparison. The washed shirt lost at least three inches in the body, two-and-a-half inches in the chest and more than an inch in the sleeves.

Needless to say, I'll look elsewhere for shirts or at the least, size up to a large next time. Five of the six shirt I bought are now unusable.

Zara has some decent slim fit t-shirts, they are actually cut with a definitive taper and fits someone with a pronounced V torso/significant drop.

H&M also has some stretch fit t-shirts that fit good. Because of the elastane you can size TTS and have a nice fit around the stomach and the little bit of stretch fits a wide chest/shoulders.

Anyone have experience with Topman's tees? I'm liking their v-necks and the prices are good (sans the crazy $15 shipping). Wondering how they fit (i.e. TTS) mostly.

everything there fits on the small side, though I have no exp with their tee's

I picked up a few Topman solid crewnecks from a sale they had. The sleeves are like 1.5'' from the pit seam and 7.5'' from the shoulder seam which is just way too short for my liking, it's like your pits are always exposed. FWIW, an XS I have measures 15'' shoulder to shoulder, 16.5'' pit to pit, and 26'' length.

Out of topman,zara and uniqlo t-shirts, which ones have the most aggresive taper? Thanks
