My various car show/race t shirts are getting too ragged to wear outside of the garage anymore. I need some quality tees, both short and long sleeve. Are there some decent quality ones out there that aren't terribly expensive. Doing a quick search I see everything from $1.75 to a $385 Tom Ford designer selection. I'm thinking maybe a Carhartt, which seem to run around $16. Duluth stuff is usually pretty solid, but I'm not sure the are worth $20 apiece. What says the hive?

I love my carhart pocket tees. even the button down "work shirts" are tough and comfortable, which is a hard combination to find.

I've had really good luck with some Duluth Trading Company t-shirts that weren't too expensive.

Oh, and did you purposely title this to sound like a spambot?

Go to a TJ Maxx store and buy Calvin Klein or Polo 3 packs of V or crew neck for $10.99.

Really good quality, wash 1000x and not fade or fall apart cotton tees.

I'm 37 and I still buy all my shirts with logos and E36 M3 on them. I never learn. A lot of my stuff is 15 years old and just now starting to fall apart, so there has to be something to it. Volcom, mnwka, obey are high on my list right now. Past has included hurley, quicksilver, dc, etc.

Uniqlo. Their Suprima cotton colored tee shirts are essentially all I wear. Full size ranges, durable yet soft, and intended to be slightly fashionable. Also around $10 a pop (cheaper if you get the packaged versions, though those are meant more as undershirts).

Get yourself some blank Gildan 2000s from a local custom shirt shop. That's what most decent printed tees are, and they're pretty cheap blank. Come in a huge range of colors.

Good to know. There's one of these near me.

No, but thought about that later. Thankfully no one has thrown out the "c" word on me!

The ones that don't have pictures on them I get heavy cotton Hanes ones from Walmart. They seem hold up well and are cheap.

I say you need to get to more car shows/race events and get more T-shirts.

The packs of Kirkland crew neck shirts (6 pack of white or 4 pack of black or grey) are pretty good. Velva sheen or Sunspel make more expensive t shirts (like $30-$60) that are about the upper end of where higher price is better quality vs just paying more because you feel like it.

Duluth Trading all the way for me. I have had some of mine for 4 years and they never seem to wear out. Just be careful about the sizing. I had always worn XL or XXL shirts. So I ordered XL the first time. Like wearing a tent!! Sent them back and got L and they were perfect.

Quality product and great customer service. And if you get on the e-mail list they have sales on the shirts 2-3 times a year plus discount codes.

I buy Gildan Heavy Cotton , or Ultra Cotton tees at the local Michael's or Joannes Fabric stores. They put them on sale for $2 regularly.

You just need to buy a bunch of 2-year GRM subscriptions and get the free t-shirts. :)

Almost all of my tshirts are either event, car, or travel related but I do need a few blanks. I should try the Duluth ones since they've convinced me to pay $20 a pair for boxers.

Denver Hayes (canadian) long sleeve black tees. It's all I wear for shirts. 2 for $25 on sale if I remember right.
