Nice video! Sprung for the lady white 2 pack a few months back… was skeptical at first, but after seeing how they just hold up so well, take washing and drying without shrinking and look like selvage denim in the way they crinkle around the arms if worn a few times without washing I’ve fallen in love! I’m also an in between size guy on them, and if you wash and dry them on hi heat, you will get juuust a touch of shrinkage to make em perfect.
I’ve been going absolutely wild on Lady White “Our” tees this year. Great shirts!
I really need to try them out!
great video, I wanna try the Buck Mason shirt (and the samurai, but that price is tough lol) based on your description and fit. I would suggest trying Outlier for merino shirts. I think the Ultrafine Merino is amazing and they have some other great blended materials as well.
I love outlier! I went of their website a few weeks back and they updated a lot go there styles. honestly supper cool stuff thanks for the rec!
So glad I saw this, still looking for the perfect t-shirt to wear under a suit in the summer months. Think I’m going to try the Buck Mason and Samurai, I too love a tight neck which for some reason is hard to find. I really like the Loro Piana shirts but a little pricey.
agreed! you'll love the buck mason too
I have the samurai 2-pack which are incredibly comfortable, good weight & construction. The Flat Head henley is a great fit, great construction. Lady White Co. Rugby t-shirt is really worth a try IMO, heavyweight, good construction and get more comfy over time. My two favorite shirts are the Merz B. in their heaviest weight (natural - the slubbiness and imperfections look awesome) and I have the samurai zero cotton in the black - awesome in every way (other than it's a bit long) great vid man!
thanks for the rec! I need to try out the lady white tees seems like they are everyone's number one. that and whitesville
This guy T-shirts. Interesting video.
I find myself going back to the Uniqlo U crew neck. Great bang for the buck.
Agreed great tee. I just find my self going back to Bronson or the supima
Great video man keep it up. I like the Rugby tee from Lady White co because I still wear my tees a bit boxier but I also got a 2-pack of the "Our" tees that I wear under flannels/overshirts etc. and they're great. being in between sizes does suck man I know the feel
Appreciate the insight! I’ll check them out. Now i just need to lose or grain weight haha
Thank you for this comment currently wearing a rugby T and thinking of converting all my T’s to them but not sure how versatile they are ie. wearing under pieces etc.
Great video! I definitely don't have this extensive of a collection, but I'm a big fan of the Warehouse Co. 4601 pocket tee. Fabric looks and feels great, collar is nice and tight, and a good selection of colours available. I've got 3. :)
Wearhouse, whitesville seem to be the top contenders I’ll check them out!
get a fabric shaver for the pilling, it's cheap and it'll revive your stuff substantially
good call!
All pretty on point. I’ve tried a lot of these. For me, I like a particular Tee from Nigel Cabourn for the fit. My main thought was that you should start hemming your t-shirts and altering them more generally. I’ve done that and it’s great.
I just checked out his stuff really cool. that's a good idea with having them hemmed. I'll look into it.
@@JamesHerlihy Cool! I buy the 3 Pack of T-shirts from Cabourn (3 different styles per pack). Happen to be a good fit on me but will differ from person to person. Quality is pretty high. Regarding the T-shirt alterations, I've also altered the sleeve opening to good effect and even tapered the shirts slightly. It's a bit tricky and a couple T-shirts ended up in the trash but if you dial it in, it's perfection. For example, I totally agree on the Velva Sheen shirts. So good on the fit for me too, but the length is ridiculously out of proper proportion. Hemming can make those shirts perfect.
heavy agree on the buck mason heavyweight, my favorite tee
Such a great tee love the fit!
Awesome video, I've recently started to update my wardrobe with nicer quality clothes. Started with selvedge denim and boots but now I am looking at tees so this video was super helpful. I am thinking with starting off with the Bronson tubular tee! I guess I will have to order a M and L since it does look like a size M would fit me (5'8"155lbs) but in the video you say to size up.
I would go with a large personally I would email them your measurement and they will help.
Superb presentation!
Thank you!!!
Great video, James.
Thanks!
Happy Sunday my friend.
happy Sunday!
The samurai and the Uniqlo are the best - great video
Thank you!
I’ve discovered good life tees and it’s my new go to
I just check them out. seem cool. I like the fact you can buy in packs
Really been waiting on this video. Still loving Lady White "Our" T-Shirt. I've been eyeing the Merz b. Schwanen 215 and the Samurai shirt. It's a bummer since I know I'm between sizes like you so shelling out 100+ for it not to fit would be frustrating.
For sure! for me. it was mostly about the neck. I prefer a tighter neck the merz stuff is way to loose for my liking. I just nee to lose a little more weight and I'll be perfect. or gain haha
Merz B. does shrink so keep that in mind. The Samurai does not shrink at all
Warehouse 4601-I have the long sleeve version. It’s two sizes too small, still my favorite and most comfortable shirt.
ill check it out!
Hey James, you mentioned you were working on your physical and looking great in the last couple of videos. What are your thoughts on getting "healthier" and the realization what you might have to part with some of your favorite fits? Thanks and great video.
I’m not to worried! I’m excited to get back in shape I can always have things tailored or there’s always buying new clothes
You have to try Iron heart if you like tight necks, the lighter one (I think 6,5 oz) super soft and cropped unfortunately its like everything else Japanese expensive 😅
I’ll check them out!
Would be interested in your opinion of Dehen tees.
As far as Whitesville shirts, I was fortunate enough to thrift a black heavy weight tee in my size for $2 last year, like new! They are like hen's teeth to find. Keep up the content. 😎
Thank you! Illl check put Dehen. They make great stuff
Great video and good takes. You should check out James Perse if you aren't familiar. Made in USA tees with the classic LA aesthetic. I normally go for their classic short sleeve crew neck, but if you really want to treat yourself, their Lotus tees are next level (Made in Japan, unrivaled material and incredible fit/feel). Don't bother with the rest of their clothing as I find it to be quite overpriced for what you get. But they really hit a home run with the tees.
a few people had brought them up. I need to check them out. thanks for the rec!
Great video. It can be ridiculously hard to find a t-shirt that works for any one individual. Thanks!
Agreed!!!
I’m recently on this journey and I’ve found buck Mason to be my favorite so far.
agreed!
Which ones? Got my first BM shirt last year. Love the supima and slub. Not sure what’s my favorite though
U never lied did ya?
Thanks so much for sharing I really enjoy your videos. The rrl pilled comment made me laugh. I follow their releases religiously and aesthetically it's my favorite brand but their quality is hit or miss and I wish they were more transparent about the manufacturing process. I like to branch out from my tastes as well. You showed many of the shirts I have been interested in. There are a few others I have been eyeballing that I would recommend checking out: the pbj indigo dyed crew necks (the sun dyed one at self edge looks super nice) and the Warehouse stand wheeler pigment-dyed t-Shirt (fit is a bit long and roomy on body and sleeves for my taste though). Are you familiar with any of these? I would love to hear your thoughts on them. Thanks again for sharing your passion.
I would wear nothing but rrl if I could. Ill check out the tees i now both of the brands but I haven’t tried them on yet. Thanks for the recommendations!
Looking slimmer my dude! Good video
Thank you!!
You need to try Whitesville shirt. People say it’s the best and that along with Merz was used in the bear
They are so hard to find!!
You need to try a James Perse clear shirt. They have some other lines if you want yet I think once you put a clear on you’re done for. I have 25 T-shirts from them. 40 button ups. Let’s just say my entire closet is James perse.. . Like literally I own no other brand they are that good. Have to be kept up with. They are finicky given the cottons they use. But really great brand
Ill check them out! Thanks for the rec!
Great video!
thank you !!!
If your willing to spend the best T shirt is the Lux Lotus by James Perse. The softest, most light weight and airy t shirt out. Have 5 or 6 of them and still after a couple years usually the first t shirt I reach for when I get out of the shower.
Thanks for the tip! ill check them out!
Might have to try the Bronson, looks good. Crazy that it is XL
It’s really a great tee, it’s good for us short guys.
You need to try the Tanuki ones, better than MBS in my not so humble opinion (and also a little bit cheaper). Iron Heart heavy tee is almost bullet proof and very stiff, but I really enjoy it; and my personal best is the Wonder Looper heavyweight tee, you need to try one to understand the hype. Good video!
ill be in NYC tomorrow. ill see if I can't check all 3 out! thanks for the rec
Have you tried Our Legacy Box or Hover tee? For me the perfect tee = Our Legacy Hover T Shirt in capers green, but one or two sizes up.
I have an our legacy tee but don’t know the name ill look in to it!
Nice comparisons! Where did you get your hangars from?
Amazon! Utopia Home Premium Wooden Hangers 20 Pack - Durable & Slim Coat Hanger - Suit Hangers with 360-Degree Rotatable Hook - Wood Hangers with Shoulder Grooves (Black Color) a.co/d/ikKdl7E
I believe these are it
Nice Video. I usually get all my Tshirts hemmed because they all feel to long to me
I think that's my next step or learn how to hem!
Should try wonder looper t shirt I hear a lot of people love it.
Def on my list! At that price point i even have a hard time pulling the trigger
@@JamesHerlihy since it came from the owners of naked and famous it's a no brainier.
Supima cotton feels so nice! But why didn't u try other fabric materials like wool, linen, lyocell... ?
I have a wool tee in this video. Not a huge fan of linen in tee shirts but love it in shirts and suits. I’ll check out lyocell. Feel like a lot of heritage brands don’t use it mostly fashion brands
Try the 11oz Cotton Knit Crew Neck T-Shirt by Iron Heart! 😊
I'll check it out!
How did you find the Merz B. Schwanen 215 shirt? I've been searching for them but haven't been able to find any :(
I got lucky when I was in NYC. but self edge tends to have them
www.selfedge.com/merz-b-schwanen?product_id=2817&sort=p.date_added&order=DESC
You need to take more advantage of the fact the dollar is currently strong to the yen. Samurai is significantly cheaper if you don’t let them do the currency conversion and instead use a proxy. That 185 shirt is about 100 then.
I need to find a proxy on a buzz rickson bomber
hey man, i was wondering how you felt about the tom ford t-shirts
You can't argue with the quality but I would say they are the extremely expensive for what you're getting. If I were to spend that money on a tee and I wanted a fashion/luxury vibe. I would go with sunsopel
us.sunspel.com/products/mens-short-sleeve-crew-neck-t-shirt-white
Also A LOT of people seem to love
www.jamesperse.com/collections/mens-t-shirts
I'm also curious about Whitesville T-shirts. Seems like they're on the level of Merz B, quality-wise.
I can never find them!
I really want to try them
@@JamesHerlihy selfedge has the two pack for $95, I highly recommend them! I would say get an XL to based on your dimensions James
Whitesville T-shirts are available from Redcast Heritage Co.
I bought mine at Blue in Green Denver along with my much loved Whitesville crewneck sweatshirt!
I've worn Whitesville T-shirts for a year and I can say that it's pretty shit They are way too thin.
I wear my whitesville t-shirts all the time and I’m super satisfied with the fit and feel. They’re super soft and they hug the body real nicely. I recommended giving them a shot for sure 👍
I'm moving to Seoul and just ordered 100 Fruit of the loom white Ts for 100 bucks
There you go!
I have been selling designer tees for years. The best tee is Amiri Core.
I’ll check it out!
What’s your thoughts on James perse t
I haven’t tried it yet. A lot of people are saying i should try it out
Not sure if you covered this but, What’s your height and weight?
im 5'8" 178ILB hop that helps
what’s the brown button up shirt you’re wearing in the beginning?
its in the video. the first on is from uniqlo and the dark thinker one is from samurai
@@JamesHerlihy sorry, i was referring to your button up in the beginning.
looks like a gitman vintage herringbone work shirt to me. gitman is out of my price range though
I'm sorry I totally misread that haha. Michael is correct! I got it done at the MTM Gitman event at a local boutique
You are correct! honesty great lifetime piece.
Deets on your glasses please?! Great video, try master-piece Japan tees. Incredible
I’ll check them out! Also my glasses are JMM they are zepherin

Whitesville 100%
Most I ever spend was on a naked and famous t shirt and I love.
Naked and famous makes amazing stuff!
I don’t know how you keep your T-shirts white after two years. I think there might be something wrong with me.
I don't do a great job honestly I think it's more the camera.
Blueing. Need to add it in wash. Watch some videos on it. Aging turns yellow. Eye perceives white more blue scale spectrum
Try mark and sponsor T-shirt cool
I’ll chek them out!
you look much better with glasses
Hahaha I noticed that too! I will say its partly because of the camera angles but i think my GF would agree with you haha
do a visvim t-shirt please. none of this is expensive.
I wish I could afford one!
I’m pretty happy with $18 Abercrombie however I suggest buying online to sidestep their atrocious in store experience😂
Hahahaha love it! Ill check them out.
