Hey /fa/, looking for some good quality basic tees to cop before I start university
I've been looking at a few Acne tops but they're quite pricey
Anybody have any alternatives to these?
I'm willing to buy them but I just don't want to cop them then end up finding some tees with the same quality but for less

Tees are tees, just find a decent brand that isn't Mall-tier and doesn't cut its shirts for fat fucks. Look at the wiki, anything low-tier is great for tees.

that's not exactly true. I for example own a metric fuckton of costco white tshirts, mainly because i don't care if I destroy them but also because after a while of wear the collar just stretches out and looks terrible so I turn them into work t shirts. I have 4 quality white ts that I use for my nice fits. So tees aren't just tees.

they're cut rather slim and long and the collar stretches out easily (by design I think). the quality varies.

after a while I started embracing a looser fit, so uniqlo is decent quality for the price and the fit is okay too. talking about premium cotton.

right now I think american apparel is the best quality-price balance for me but I can't get their t shirts for a reasonable price in yurop. most of the stuff here is much higher on the price spectrum.
