Most men own too many bad t-shirts and not enough good ones. The bad ones are easy to accumulate. A festival freebie here, a three for two there, and suddenly your drawer is full of things that look fine folded but wrong the moment you put them on. A really good plain t-shirt is a different object entirely. The fabric has weight without being heavy. The collar holds its shape after washing. The fit across the chest and shoulder looks considered rather than accidental. We have been looking specifically at t-shirts where the construction is tight enough to last, the cotton has a proper hand feel, and the cut works tucked or untucked without looking like a compromise either way. Crew necks and the occasional v-neck where the depth is actually right. Colours that sit in the wardrobe and work with everything rather than demanding attention. These are the ones that earn their place in a well edited wardrobe.
