Vulcan

Wow, nice find! Very sad to hear the news of Ande. When I first got into the denim scene, I almost pulled the trigger on his Wolf jacket, agonized over that decision for months and ended up going with Flat Head type II for my first denim jacket. I still love that jacket dearly but wish I had gotten a Wolf. Such a cool design.

I want a shirt that will let me bring out my inner 50's greaser. I'm between Merz B Schwanen and Mister Freedom for the classic undershirt vibe. Thanks for the suggestion, I've worn some decent Gildans in the past but I'm looking to upgrade to something more premium, also I appreciate smaller companies that don't use sweat shops and tend to have better labor practices. Not saying I know that Gildan does, but.... I love the Japanese companies for their attention to detail, quality construction, etc. but the Japan sizing typically is very short. I have a few Buzz Rickson shirts that are great for wearing by themselves, or untucked under a Hawaiian shirt or jacket, but are way too short to tuck in. I should also say that I wash all my clothes on cold and throw them in the dryer, which shrinks then. The only downside to the classic 50s style t shirts like Merz and Mister Freedom is that they have fairly flimsy necks that get kind of baggy and stretched out with lots of use (I have a MF shirt, not s Merz so just inferring about the Merz). Ideally, I am looking for a classic styled lighter weight shirt with enough length to tuck that has a nice tight crew neck that won't get stretched out with use. I dig the Tezomeya shirts but the sleeves are super long and it definitely has a more "relaxed" fit. These shirts would have a place in my wardrobe, but they have a much different vibe than the classic Brando/Dean tee style of the 50's. Anyways, forgive my rambling. It's been fun to dive into all the premium t shirts on the market. The tough part is that t shirt measurements often don't convey how they will fit. Arm hole size, fabric stretchiness/rigidity, opening size, and neck hole size all greatly affect the fit but are usually not quantified by retailers.

I am mainly looking for white t shirts, but now that I am taking a closer look at Tezomeya I am probably going to grab at least one of them, those colors and texture are terrific. Any recommendations for traditional white tees?

Anyone have any suggestions for t shirts with longer bodies that are good for wearing tucked in? I feel like the majority of the shirts I'm looking at from Japan have pretty short bodies, which will often come untucked in the back when I sit or bend over. Looks like some of the Merz shirts and Eastman/ELMC have longer bodies made for tucking.
