how's the length on the alt app tees?
I'm about the same height

Before putting them on, I put my arms inside the body and stretch it out, then put my hands in the sleeves and stretch them out. I also have some Target (merona) white T shirts, that are also a little too tight. I've tried J crew Ts...I wear small in J crew button downs, and long sleeve T shirts, but the small short sleeve t shirts and polos are too big for me. I haven't tried medium J crew short sleeve Ts, but their medium Polos fit me pretty well. I haven't tried mediums in merona or AA, but I would guess that they would be too big. Should I try out mediums, or do you guys have any suggestions for slightly bigger shirts.
Your laziness makes me want to respond in ernest.

I concur. What the **** is with people not wanting to read. I vote a unified ignore of lazy-assed-ness posters. ****.

For my height, I have short legs and a longish torso and the length is pretty spot on.

i'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but unis tees are amazing. i have a few long sleeve and a few short sleeve, and they look and feel great. they're a bit pricey (s/s $48, l/s $68), but well worth it. everyone loves them. really unique colors, too.

I bought a BR v neck that I liked in medium. I'm 5'7" 180 so if you weigh less you may want a size S. I think it was the new line of tees that they just got.

Gonna check out the ON tees and report back.

I'm about the same height and have a short torso. I find it could be a tad shorter but really it's no big deal. My eco-heather v-neck, however, came with a few loose threads at the shoulder seam. Kinda disappointed with the quality.

They have any nice, design-free t-shirts that aren't parchement thin? What happened to heavy, thick t-shirts. Why is everything almost see-through now?

+1

I like my shirts to feel like they aren't water soluble.

What happened to heavy, thick t-shirts

global warming. but seriously i guess light=casual in this case

with t-shirts, and most basics, less=better

Both the AA baby ribbed tees and the Wings+Horns tees are made of thick, heavy fabric.

Razele · Sep 16, 2009

Wings and horns t's are next level.

Possibly final level.

Wish I could get some nice thick white crewnecks, don't want white w+h t's as I will destroy them too easily.

I think J. Crew has slimmed up their Ts. After two washes my Small J. Crew Vneck is smaller fits about the same as my American Apparel Small but a bit shorter. Also J. Crews Vneck is very high placed which i like a lot.

any input for a long sleeve shallow V neck tshirt? I was in Gap today and tried on a small pima cotton l/s vneck for 8 bucks, but it was a little big for my taste. But i'd love to get a few long sleeves...

Im around 5,8" and pretty thin ive always had atoruble finding a t's that fit properly. If usually fit a small or an XS.

I have a slim waist and kind of broad sholders so if i get a small shirt that fits well its usually to tight around the shoulders and the sleeves flair out at the sides, on the other hand if i get a shirt that fits well around the shoulders its way to loose around my waist and chest.

I usually wear long sleeve tees to fix this problem but thats unpractical living in northern australia.

I think what i need is a tee with sleeves that cling to my arms so they dont flair out the sides.

Does anyone have any reccomendations?
