Hello Gents... I apologize if this has already been covered, but I've had a hard time finding some fitted undershirts and fitted basics (both crew neck and v-neck) to use when layering. I've tried several brands which I'll cover here:
Your basic "Hanes" crew neck - cheap, disposable and generic. I suppose they do the job, but nothing special.
Jockey V-Neck - Fits like a giant box. Arm holes are huge. "One Size Fits All" comes to mind when sporting the "Medium"
Calvin Klein V-Neck - Nicer material than the Hanes, arm holes OK, but overall fit is boxy and will shift and come untucked when wearing a dress shirt. Wearing this by itself as a basic is not an option due to the boxy fit.
Nautica V-Neck - Best v-neck fit of the bunch, but calling this a v-neck is generous at best. The only feature that differentiates this shirt from a crew neck is the ever so slight dip in the front of the collar.
RibbedTee.com V-Neck - Feels awesome under a dress shirt. Expensive but worth it, especially with their "trade-in" program offering a 50% off coupon when trading in one of your old tees. Strictly for layering if you're not going for that Jersey Shore look, but feels great under your button down.
I'm looking for cotton and fitted.. not something with lycra in it that can double as underarmor athletic attire.
Any ideas or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
