Carhartt. But if you're looking to go SUPER cheap. Pro-Club at your local swapmeet and/or 5-for-10 spot.

I was grabbing some houesehold things at Target the other day and walked by the mens section and there were tees for $6 and I was in need of a few blank tees. Don't normally buy clothes there but figured what the fuck. So far not disappointed

A little bit pricey for a single blank tee but they are good quality if you can get your hands on them https://www.houseofblanks.com/pages/about-us

Dickies when I want something crispy. They iron out so nice and are 100% cotton.

For undershirts it’s FOTL all day. So soft but wouldn’t wear as a shirt shirt as not crispy enough.

I don't think they make them anymore, but Cosco Kirkland plain white tee's are/were the best. I just picked up a 3-pack of Tommy Hilfiger for $14 at Ross.

Costco/Kirkland crew have a weird thick collar, couldn't get into them (they may have changed).

Next Level off Amazon are pretty good and decently priced:

Hanes Beefy T-shirts are usually pretty good. collar of the shirt is a little thicker than most and they do tend to shrink a bit if not taken care of properly but i love mine nonetheless!

iw0 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 23, 2021, 05:34:56 PM »

comfort colors are pretty great shirts, thick too. little softer than hanes beefy though and i haven't run into the sizing problems hanes sometimes has. if i had to rank blank shirt brands it'd probably go: comfort colors > hanes beefy > gildan > canvas (only if given to me, shrinks terribly and is thin as all hell)

If you're lookin to ball out a bit, Bayside is US union made and about $8 a shirt (until you hit big boy sizes). I've never had a tee from them, but I have one of their sweatshirts and it's excellent.

FatGuy92 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2021, 07:11:23 PM »

If you want something thick and boxy, I would look into the Uniqlo U shirts. I love them. Otherwise their packaged tees are nice too but definitely a lot thinner

TheAmericanAntique · « **Reply #13 on:** April 23, 2021, 07:12:27 PM »

Next level 1800 has that boxy fit ( what I rock)

Cheapest good brand would be gildan dry blend or they have the hammer T but shit collects lint and stuff for a least three washes...

Pro clubs are garbage lol, way too tight in the chest and fade like shit after one wash

augustmoon · « **Reply #15 on:** April 23, 2021, 08:09:29 PM »

Amazon Goodthreads, but you might want to size up a a size or two

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #16 on:** April 23, 2021, 08:20:42 PM »

Alstyle or Pro Club

iwishilivedinfinla · « **Reply #17 on:** April 23, 2021, 09:09:43 PM »

Gildan Hammer - their more premium, heavier shirt. buy a size up.

flintstagram · « **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2021, 11:39:30 PM »

They don’t have a straight up black in this blend, but seriously the softest, most comfortable shirts ever. My favorites.

Uniqlo U blank t shirts are pretty much all I wear now.

Ebay some all cotton vintage/usa made blanks.
Better quality, decent prices, no waste.

I buy Gap plain pocket tees whenever they are on sale, which is pretty often if I am being honest.

Frank · « **Reply #22 on:** April 24, 2021, 05:22:18 AM »

company named g�urg that makes mostly underwear makes amazing basic t-shirts, but only in black and white.

i want to try the hammer adult t-shirt from gildan, these look pretty good. has like invisible seems.

Mbrimson88 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 24, 2021, 05:47:25 AM »

If you know how a shirt fits and wears, it makes it a whole lot easier.

A while back I sourced a ton of blank shirts from wholesalers, mainly attached to the printing industry, but available to the public. Might have bought a few too many, but I will never run out and not worried if anything happens to one as they worked out so cheap per shirt, only a couple of $$ each really. Things might have changed since then, but that is the best way if you want more than just a few.

Gildan has a few options, as mentioned, but the 5000 series is my fav - fairly short overall compared to some brands but a really good tee for wearing around and fits well under everything else too.

AAA or Alstyle is the brand that all the old skate tees were done on back in the day - thicker and more long lasting, but good fit and not overly baggy / long for the sizes.

Fruit of the Loom - FOTL - were also good shirts when I had them.

There are a few other brands out there, but look up blank wholesale and you might find a bargain or two.

Frank · « **Reply #24 on:** April 24, 2021, 06:13:25 AM »

i don't mess with fotl anymore, their stuff always shrinks down so much. i'm like 5'6 and buying xl fotl shirts so they don't run too short.

aaa or alstyle i had a few of those, mostly from thriftshops, had a great hoodie that was also ill fitting though, again, i had to wear xl.

i want to check out stanley/stella. those blanks look good, but they are way pricier than gildan, but also recycled or made from organic cotton. so kind of in the middle of gildan/fotl(cheap as hell) and house of blanks(super premium). their blank hoodies run for 45 euros. several t-shirt cuts available. only problem is most shops only sell them if you let them print something on it.

Mbrimson88 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 24, 2021, 02:44:41 PM »

Somewhere like this, which has bulk blank tshirts is what I was meaning, so if they work out about $3 a tee, then shipping, it is still very cheap for bulk shirts and not too expensive, eg 36 shirts are only around $100 or less (estimate for US)

This is the sort of thing here in AU that I have bought before.

Hanes Xtemp

They have them at Ross type stores if you want to get them at Target.

jakeumms · « **Reply #27 on:** April 28, 2021, 07:32:11 PM »

I've done a blank tee buy every year for the past few years. Different brands each time. This year was the Gildan Heavy Cotton and they are excellent. Got a band shirt on it and knew they were what I was looking for. Look for wholesalers. I got 20+ and it made them about $3 a shirt.

ldmch11 · « **Reply #28 on:** April 28, 2021, 08:48:05 PM »

Uniqlo supima cotton tees, size up one
the U tees are nice but not soft at all
