Mens white tshirts

OH plain white tshirts have seen better days and need replacing. Can anyone recommend where to get reasonable quality ones at a decent price? He just wears them under jumpers etc. Crew neck not v-neck.

I bought ones from Primark before years ago. Think they were in a pack of 2 or 3 and they've been washed loads and were decent quality. Looked at similar ones today and the cotton is now so thin it's virtually see through. The kind of cotton that just creases up when you try to iron it as it's so thin. Deff not the same quality as ones I got previously.

  • My son has 2 white Donnay t-shirts that he had for college at 16/17. He is now nearly 25 and apart from the fact he now sleeps in them they are not much different to when they were bought so might be worth a look!

    I've stopped buying them from Primark for this reason.

    Latest ones came from Tesco, and have probably done 6 months of rolling around on studio/splitter van floors, whilst looking new when they've been washed.

    Thanks all, I was in Matalan yesterday and picked up two for £4 each, wish I'd thought about fruit of the loom, I used to work after school in a printers and we used those as stock, always good quality. Still, the amount of wear they get he'll get £8 worth out of them. I'll make a note of the others though too, as I'm sure he'll need another couple.

    Try polo-shirts.co.uk - they have plain t-shirts in lots of colours, good prices but look out for the postage charge. I've used them loads of times and never had a problem.
  • Hanes "Beefy T" - available on Amazon for about £3.00 (although it does vary). Best T-shirts I've ever had - and I would personally rate them ahead of Fruit of the Loom. HTH.
