Hi everyone, I am 24 years old and I have struggled all my life with the inability to gain weight.
I am thin so it becomes a problem when I want to buy well fitted t-shirts.
Most of the time, it's either that my t-shirt is too wide (especially the area under the shoulders) or that it is too tight, which is bad again because it shows how skinny I am.

I search a lot but I cannot find t-shirts that go well for my size. I have one t-shirt and it fits me so well. I feel very comfortable in that shirt, and I wish every other shirt was that size.

Is there anywhere I can go so that they can create me nice t-shirts that fit for my size? I am willing to pay $100 per t-shirt if necessary. Are there companies you can go to and they make you t-shirts by measuring your size, etc.?
Is there a better option for me here.
Please give me suggestions because they will be truly appreciated.
I want to be able to walk outside in the summer feeling comfortable in my t-shirts.
Thank you for your help.

T-shirts can be altered for less than $100.

American Apparel should be fine. You can gain wieght, eat a shitload and workout and don't do any cardio and don't over exercise. I gained like 30 lbs in 3 months and i use to have the same problem.

Have you tried J. Crew? Their t-shirts and sweaters are usually cut pretty tight in the torso and sleeves.
