I can also second the Uniqlo t-shirt recommendation in the comments, for really small guys at least (I’m 5’4″). The Peter Manning t-shirts fit me even better and I’m hoping they hold up over time.

One idea for future posts: it would be great to learn more about arm opening, sleeve length (with short-sleeve shirts) and shoulders, and how to deal with fit issues in these dimensions as well.

For example, showing a t-shirt where the shoulder fit is off and what that does to how the sleeves fit. Or one where the sleeve/arm opening is too wide and it creates that awkward flaring-out effect.

We’re not a shop. You have to click the links in this article and buy the shirts from whatever brand you click on.

This is the slim fit/athletic shirt line from Gilden, which makes blank apparel for screen printing or embroidery (say for a company or sports team). They happen to be of awesome quality and fit on their own, come in tons of colours, and have a price that is hard to beat.

I am 5’5″, slim build and wear a small, which fits better than any other t-shirt I own. Note that they arrive a bit big, but after 1 wash and dry cycle, they shrink a bit and fit great.

Amazingly, they are often <$5/shirt at most of the online blank apparel websites. Hard to believe you get quality for that price but they are surprisingly good. Remain in good shape for 2 years of heavy wear before they begin to get a bit pilly. Highly recommended!

I often buy here (which also has a video of the shirt) but you can find them anywhere online. https://www.blankapparel.ca/t-shirts/short-sleeve-t-shirts/gildan/64000-softstyle-reg-t-shirt

Thanks so muchly for the updates?

I’m not sure why you want Brock to answer that, but yes, with very few exceptions, athletes get custom-built attire/equipment that is a higher grade and better fit than anything we can buy off the rack.
