Who makes better T-shirts? Uniqlo or American Apparel (or other)?

[chiggachu]

I am a fan of simple, cheap, fitted T-shirts that are colorful and one step up from Hanes or FOTL.

AA is the obvious choice, and while I only own one of their Fine Jersey Tees, I think it's cut perfectly (shorter sleeves, slimmer torso, longer length).

I recently picked up a couple Uniqlo Tees for $5 each and I must say they are just as comfortable. The fit is a little looser, but I can live with it.

Are there any other opinions on this matter?

I'm a big fan of James Perse. Super comfy and soft and the fit is great.

maybe I should have specified - I'm looking for budget tees. James perse would probably run me about $30, no?

I just picked up some AA t's. I got a 3 pack of organic cotton crew necks. 3 for 36 bucks. The fit on them is great. More fitted than any Gap, J. Crew, or BR t that I have had. Construction seems to be good for the price too.

I prefer Uniqlo. They hold their shape better, and some days a boxier cut looks good with a rugged Americana-type outfit.

However the best would be a combination of both, so you can alternate silhouettes.

Does Uniqlo ever have an online store? It's so hard to get their clothes in North America.

alternative apparel tees are nice, super soft.

C+C cotton is super soft but I couldnt tell you if the price is worth for the way the shirt is going to be worn. Personally I go for 2xist shirts at discount resellers for about $12 a three pack. If you decide to go this route size up, they shirnk a size.

Any of you have stuff from Continental Clothing? It looks like another American Apparel; however, I think they originated in Europe. Website at www.continentalclothing.com At the very least, they have hot female models.

C+C is way too expensive for a basic tee.

Continental clothing looks appealing, but where do you even get the stuff?

I just might have to hit up an AA in manhattan this weekend...those ribbed henleys are making me salivate.

I have been looking for a shirt that fits like AA but just a tad wider in the shoulders
