what brand tshirt do you wear that dont shrink too much

[GrayGhost03]

im 6'1 and wear xl tshirts of various brands but after washing them most all shrink and become too short for my liking (plumbers crack). the only ones that keep their size are the ecko shirts and some of them ive had 2 or 3 years. anything nike or hanes is the worst, id like to buy something else besides ecko. what brand shirts do you wear? im tired of throwing money away on shirts that shrink to mediums after a couple of washes. thanks

in for responses. i'm 6'2" and can't stand it when my shirts shrink "up"(mainly my wife beaters) and won't stay tucked in. i quit washing them in hot water, i tumble dry on low heat...i'm tired of having my ass hanging out bc my shirt comes untucked.

Are you guys buying the correct size?

I am 6'-5" and have found that you need to buy "tall" sizes if you do not like the "plumbers crack" look.

The tall sizes will add an additional 2-3" in length. They can be more difficult to find but it is worth it. Make sure the size ends with a "T", like 2XLT.

Here are a few places I have found:

Big and Tall Clothing | Big Mens Clothing | Big Man's Land

T-Shirts For Men, Short Sleeve Shirts, Cotton Shirts - Duluth Trading

Big and Tall | Big and Tall Men's Clothing - Destination XL

Good Luck

I'm 6'6" 230 with a 60" chest, needless to say my t-shirts tear if I'm doing work at the gym, flexing.

Hurley or any brand that is polyester instead of 100% cotton

Im 6'3" 260's and I wear Hanes tagless XL, no problems with plumber's crack and they don't get the bacon neck either.

Take a look at Eddie Bauer and LL Bean. My t's and flannel's are properly sized to begin with and even my wife can't shrink them. With cheaper stuff and my wife's washing technique after a few washes you can use them for hand puppets.

Don't completely dry them in the dryer. Hang them up while they are still damp.

I have a lot of guy Harvey's.... Cold wash 100% of the time and dry for 5 min at first on low heat to unwrinkle and then air dry. I always get a lot of use out of mine.

 

[GrayGhost03]

Dickies from Wal-Mart own all other T's for around the house wear.

Your wash routine is what is shrinking them. Wash on cold (you should wash colors on cold anyway) and line dry them. I've heard fabric softener shrinks shirts too but I haven't had any problems.

I am 7'3 and I usually buy in the big and tall section but If i want comfort I have to have them custom made which is a PITA and $$$$

I don't have any but heard about them on the radio or tv.

 

[Boosted T-4]

I hang dry all my shirts.

I don't really wear t-shirts much besides for under shirts but Van Huesen makes the best ones I have found, never shrink and the collar always stays nice on them.
