    Anyone have any recommendations for good quality plain crew t-shirts that wash well and last, but dont cost a fortune?

    I have 2 tshirts from river island about 8 years, worn in regular rotation, probably washed 100+ times at this point and are still in fantastic condition, collar has not lost shape, zero bobbling etc. They were 10 quid a go at the time.

    T-shirts purchased since then from river island have not been near that quality.

    Most tshirts i have, be they 3 euro from dunnes or superdry are either almost disposable or have too much branding and labelling.

    Have the same issue tbh. Very hard to get one that isn't virtual rubbish after 5 or 6 washes. Funnily enough the best quality tshirts I gor in the last couple of years was in Carroll's tourist shop. Has held up well for 3 or 4 years now without losing its shape.

    FCUK / French Connection last for ages, wash well, and good sizing.

    I know nothing about this online store but I can vouch for the shirts,

    Amazon? Got Fruit of the Loom Men's T-Shirt (Pack of 5) last July, and they're still fine.

    I’ve picked up a few tees from Next and they have held up quite well for the amount of wear they have had. I think they do an offer of 3 for €20

    Carhartt, albeit they're

    1: Rather heavy (I prefer this)
    2: Rather expensive

    I’ve been buying plain T-shirts in various colours from M&S for the last number of years.

    They are good value (less than a tenner), good quality and last a long time. I find that they don’t fade in the wash. They are also very comfortable.
