Quality T-Shirts

I need some QUALITY T-SHIRTS for work. Have looked in various trekking / outdoor shops but they seem to be the same type but with logos on them or £30 each for technical type stuff which I don't really need.

At the moment I'm using Tesco 2 for £3 jobs which are ok but I don't think they are going to last that long and they are a bit thin.

I have looked at http://www.bargainbasics.co.uk/ but I don't really know what sort of material is best, they seem to be various mixtures of cotton / polyester, etc.

Can anyone who knows about this stuff advise me: Basically they must be hard wearing and plain.

Thanks in advance

    M&S have a huge selection of T-shirts & other stuff in their sale which is now on - up to 70% off (didn't see much at 70%). The sale did include Per Una & other 'designer' ranges.

    Well worth a look for work clothes.

    I got some really good ones for dh from Matalan-good range of self colours and no logos....I think they're made by "Easy" and were about £4 or £5-definitely superior quality to the ones he'd previously had from Next
  • What about quality shirts that take cufflinks (at a good price)?

    I had a really good look on the web last night and found that you could get three for about £6-7 each after P & P and they get cheaper the more you buy.

    In the end though I bought three from Next at £12.99, which was £4.33 each.

    What I found on the web was that you just couldn’t differentiate between types of fabrication.

    I looked in T K MAXX and found that just about all the T-shirts were all the same but with a different label or logo. So in the end I plumped for the Next ones.
