Kohl's has some surprisingly nice plain tee shirts. I don't usually shop there, have no idea if they always have this brand.

The 100% cotton is heavier then I've been seeing lately. I bought a couple, haven't washed them yet so can comment on shrinkage.

Kohls classic tee shirts

I've been pleased with the weight and density of the t's at talbot's...not so show-thru like so many can.

JC Penney's and Macy's usually have plain t-shirts at rock bottom prices. Thicknesses and lengths can vary.

I like Ralph Lauren. Bright white, opaque, nice hand.

I have this one in both black and white. Washes great, and I think I’ve had them for 3-4 years and both still look practically new after lots of use. I know $50 might seem like a lot for a t-shirt, but they’re the best basic tees I’ve ever had!

Well, whatever you get, know what length you want, in inches, before ordering.

I have had Kohls brands, and they shrink in length a lot, like up to your waist eventually.

Check out the Crew Perfect T-Shirt - it is thick and I really like the longer sleeve length.

Eddie Bauer makes tall sizes so if I need one I order from there. I found RL’s and Talbots to be too short for me after washing, so the advice to check the length you need or want is good. Edited to add, I have had very good luck with Toad and Co T-shirt’s also. I haven’t bought white but everything else really lasts.

I am a t-shirt person! I like Talbot’s Pima cotton t-shirts. I have short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, and long sleeves. I do not dry them in the dryer. However, I do throw them in for 5 minutes on low heat with a dryer sheet then hang on a folding rack to dry. This past season (winter) I found them to be quite long, almost too long.

I’ve also bought Land’s End. They are quite long. The Pima cotton is soft, but it might be a tad thin. I bought t-shirts from LLBean several years ago. I liked the fabric but found the shirts to be a bit short and the sleeves were closer to cap sleeves than short sleeves.

Wal Mart...I usually buy the ones at Kohls but I picked up one last year at Wal Mart and I really liked it. I hope they bring the same one back this year. I'll definitely pick up a few. And they were long.

Do the more expensive white t's stay bright and white or yellow like my cheapies??

Always1step, I think the yellowing of the t-shirt may have more to do with how they are laundered. If you dry them completely in the dryer, I believe they have a tendency to get dingy faster. If you have some you love that have yellowed, try soaking them in White Brite, also available at Walmart.

Again, can't go wrong with LL Bean. However, my 17yo grandson LOVES the Calvin Klein white Tee I get him every now & then at TJMaxx.

I have to second bbstx's comment about LL Beans Tees. The fabric is great and they wear well but they are just too damned short. Both in body length and sleeve length. I contacted LL about it and requested a longer (tall? I'm only 5' 7") option years ago but no response.

believe it or not my favorite white t shirt is from Tractor supply. Fabric is thick enough you cant see through it, has some stretch to it, and is moderately long. Washes up well and can dress up or down. Inexpensive as well.
