Slightly off at a tangent but if you're looking for 'plain-white-tees' I can recommend Muji, these were recommended by Uncle Ian a few weeks ago, pack of two for £8.95, I bought a couple of packs last week, will have to wait & see how they wash,

Stax - keep us posted on those Tees. Bane of my life

"Are the Muji ones tight at the neck Stax?"
I can vouch for the neck on these! My only problem is I take a small, and they do come up a bit short after washing. Next time I'll get medium, but at the moment I have about 10 unopened 3-packs of Campbellesville Apparel white tees, from when they supplied the US military, so they should last me a while I reckon.

Robbie- the neck is good , l wore it for a couple of hours 2-3 times over the weekend and the neck didn’t sag, but let’s see how it comes through the wash, i bought them specifically for wearing under a bd and sized down to a medium, v.happy with them so far ! Thanks again UI for the recommendation,

AFS- Sounds like you are wearing summer clothes up north. I did hear that it was a proper Spring day near Nottingham yesterday whereas it rained all day where I am.
I find a polo shirt can be a bit of a problem for me unless top button is left undone. I sometimes wear a t shirt under a polo!

As a teenager I never wore a 'vest' under a shirt. I didn't wear a belt for the trousers either. I think I must have been influenced by the TV show 'Happy Days' when I was about 21 and started to wear t shirts then. I remember buying 'Fruit of the loom'. I don't remember many American references that I could copy except Peyton Place and Happy Days. My dad would also have considered a T shirt as underwear and not to be seen in public.

I’m with Ritchie Cunningham when it comes to T’s under a shirt.

I’ve had to resort to buying bulk from Matalan and binning them after a few washes (that cursed saggy neck).

Doesn’t sound like Muji are my answer. Being long of body.

Lands End make some pretty big claims about their T’s. Anyone tried them recently?

Spendthrift - Been buying LE's T's ( Super T's), for maybe 8-10 yrs now, the recent one's purchased maybe 18 months ago are good,  - I think they're decent quality and wash well, however the sleeves are 1/2 sleeve so don't sit too comfortably under a shirt,(hence the recent Muji purchases),  I wear the long sleeve ones dossing around at home, they're particularly good under my dog walking kit, (fleece & water proofs), quite generous in the fit, and as you say they are always on sale so usually come in at around £10-12, and the good thing with LE is you can return them for a full refund even if the items have been worn & washed, I looked at the Goodwear ones in JS a few months ago, they seemed OK but couldn't bring myself to spend £40+ for 2 t's I was going to wear under shirts, however I'm sure I'd seek them out if I ever get to go to the US again,
Robbie - John Lally in the Ivy Shop use to wear a polo shirt under a bd, and in my memory  it wasn't cool to wear a t-shirt under a shirt in the late '60's / early '70's as I recall,

Thanks Stax - LE sounds like the way to go for under long sleeves. Like you I've got an upper limit on what I want to spend on a T shirt. Even if the sensible side of me knows cheap ones are a false economy.

I think Haynes 'Beefy' T's were the way to go for a long time. And fairly readily available pre internet shopping boom. Recently I've read reviews bemoaning the drop in quality.

Rux - unfortunately some features on here don't work at present and the posting images facility is one of them. So we have to resort to posting links and hope members will be able to copy and paste them into a fresh browser. I did this with the image of Bill Murray and it worked very nicely, but I doubt I'll be buying any of those trousers  Regards Woofboxer
