Why I hate a tee-shirt

Short of a few old competition tee-shirts that I won't wear out in public, I don't really advertise any of my sports. No hunting, fishing or weight lifting shirts. I think it's probably because I hate people and I don't want to offer up a conversation piece.

Have you tried GASP? Yeah they are expensive but they actually fit right and look amazing. I am an ambassador with GASP and you can try this code GASP15 on their site or BB15 if you go to the Better Bodies site. I have never worn the Better Bodies clothing but I wear the shit out of the GASP stuff. The t-shirts are varying styles and sizes but I get the cadet tees in a 4XL and they fit nice and snug in all the right places.

I remember a guy that was always pushing GASP. He was kind of weird, so I never took it seriously. They make stuff for small but (kind of) muscular guys? I have problems with shoulders and lat areas.

Yea, the models on this site are fucking huge. I'm definitely not the target demo. I think TOS would do well with the Classic Tapered Tee. Stuff is on sale pretty good now, too. I don't like logos and shit. I don't think TOS does, either, from the sound of it. That Classic Tapered is $17 right now.

I don't buy all the weird logo shit. Their cadet tee has a logo on the front only. They fit good for big guys. I like the shirts. I will have to check out the ones you mention. GASP sends me free shirts all the time and I give them to my 17 yo kid he loves the fit too.


My boy is 6'3" and 225ish and we buy him the large in the cadet tee and they fit him great. The arms are snug and he likes them as well. I am a tad larger and use the 4X

I am an ambassador for GASP as well. Just sign up to be an ambassador and get your own code for 30% off. They give that shit out like candy, as they are not losing any money with those prices. I rarely actually buy any of their stuff. They used to give out free shirts/pants/shorts to ambassadors once every couple months, so I actually have about a dozen. However, they have dwindled that down to once a quarter and you have to put your name into a drawing. That being said, I think I am about 50% on drawings this year. I do love the fit of their shirts. You just need to know exactly what you are buying. If it is tapered and you do not have wide shoulders and thin waist, it will not look right. Most of their standard stuff fits well. Their oversized stuff is really nice. Just don't order the size you think you want. Order one size smaller. When they say oversized, they mean OVERSIZED. I bought a L and at 5'9" 225 lbs 11% that thing looked like I was wearing a sheet.

I’m glad this topic has come up. I have recently tried looking into shirts that fit without looking like a trash bag.

If the waist/torso fits, it too tight on top. I hate the skin tight shit around my arms and shoulders.

Most t shirts are cut straight and are made for fat people.

I agree with this on all point. We used to get a free shirt every month but it is what it is. I like the fit and while they are overpriced, they also have sales. I just bought another 4 of their cadet tees and with my code I paid $7 each. So yeah they are expensive but you can still get deals. Nothing else I have bought fits me right. I have tried the true classics either...

Agreed. This is a problem the bigger you get. It becomes damn near impossible to find clothes that fit. Almost everything has to be altered at a tailor.

Just go to work and social events without a shirt!

I'll I have to try some of these suggestions when I get back into shape. But for real, we are all sick in the head. While TOS says that he looks like the average Joe in the white T, go look at the average Joe around town. They are definitely not looking like that!

I tried True Classic they were a little short on my torso or you could say gut. Fresh Clean Ts have been better for shoulders, arms and hiding my belly. OP you look great, I wouldn't worry about it when you look like that underneath. I think it's more about the cotton/poly blend you can find.

I think most see "Lululemon" and think it's a women's clothing store, but it's not. They have good stuff. It is expensive but high quality. If you have a quality issue, they will replace it even beyond the return period.

Their "metal vent" workout shirts are fantastic. Hug the shoulders and trunk perfectly.

Skinny Guy shirts...what I mean is you guys are lean and muscled...I feel like I'm wearing something from Abercombi & Fitch. A XXL is a medium!!!
