I often hear, “You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc…” but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?
This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.
Decent T-shirts can be had cheap from craft shops. If bought on sale, can be less than $4 each. They come in the normal variations, and one can get various weights online. They also come in a wide variety of colors. Additionally, they don’t have visible logos.
I like the Next Level 3600, the 3601 is the long sleeve with a similar cut. Bella Canvas 3001 is the same fit as well with different color options. Gildian is probably what most people are already used to, boxy fit usually used for band shirts. That’s fine if that’s your thing, but I prefer something a bit more form fitting.
That’s a perfect entry into a capsule wardrobe. If you get 100% cotton shirts of solid colors – wash on delicate in cold or warm water and hang dry them, they’ll be wrinkle free and last a long time. When they’re beat, cut them up to use as rags.
First: Thanks for the great suggestions!
Second: Shop around folks! A quick search shows that these T’s go for around $5, but Amazon has them for almost double the price.
Third: If you have both minibyte can you confirm that the Bella Canvas has a shorter sleeve length than the Next Level? The pictures seems to show that but then again that depends on the model.
To my eye the sleeves are the same length on Bella Canvas and Next Level. The only difference I can tell is the Next Level shirts are about an inch longer, not the sleeves but the body.
That said, I’m 6 ft - 145lbs and wear a small in both shirts. They’re both long enough to fit perfectly.
If you done mind one e question: Which one’s softer? Thank you!
They’re both 100% cotton, same weight. I believe they’re the same material and feel it.
Next Level: 4.3 oz. 100% combed ring spun cotton.
Bella Canvas: 4.2 oz. 100% Airlume combed and ring spun cotton
The “combed” bit means you should expect them both to be soft.
Next level shirts are almost perfect
I wear tall sizes which makes finding shirts a pain. Old Navy has tall sizes and their t shirts are on sale for $6 a few times a year. And they’re very soft and comfortable! I buy like 5 every couple of years.
