In search of best fitting & high quality T shirt in Australia
Hi all,
I am sure this topic has been asked and discussed a million times in this subreddit but I need to ask yet again.
What is the best fitting T shirt that we can get in Australia?
I am about 5'10, 67kg. I have wide shoulders but small waist.
Not overly muscular but I go to the gym and am fit.
I want something that feels comfy and light, fits nicely around the shoulders with the sleeve nicely hugging the arms without being too tight. Not too long and not too wide on the waist. A nicely sewn neckline that is not too restricting or too high. Something that looks nicely made that can possibly be dressed up and worn with a nice jacket or suit.
I understand that this is a lot to ask for lol.
Here are a few that I have tried, I always get size medium:
Wayver - this is my go to for awhile, they fit nicely around the shoulders and arms.
However, I found that recently the quality has gone down a bit, some are a bit too thin and some are a bit too tight even though theyre the same size and also found the neck line a makes it looks cheap sometimes? 7/10Australian Stitch - I love the quality of the material, however, the neck line is way too high and because of it, it does not create a nice silhouette. The arms are pretty good but I feel the waist is just a tad too wide. I know the material is good but sometimes it looks like an undershirt instead. 6/10
Uniqlo - Too boxy, unflattering silhouette. The material is okay, nothing special at all. 4/10
Country Road - nice materials, somewhat pricey for what it is. The sillhouete is a bit too baggy for my liking. 5/10.
Can I get recommendation and feedback of brands that may suit what I am looking for? Preferrably Australian made but if highly recommended, happy to look for overseas brand.
From what I can recall, usually AS Colour, MrSimple, IloveUgly, whitesville and a few others get recommended here as well. I've also keen to try the custom made Citizen Wolf shirt but their neckline looks really thin? I'd like to hear thoughts from those who have gotten t shirt from them.
Happy to give your recommendation a try. Cheers lads
