The perfect white t-shirt

I have to start off this recommendation with an apology, as for all your Northern Hemisphere-based folks wont be able to find this easily as I stock up when I go home to Australia. BUT, in all my years of hunting for the perfect white t-shirt that hangs just right, I have found my holy grail. Specifically, the Boody men’s crew neck t-shirt (NOT the new “classic” which is mostly viscose, ew), bit the original which is 95% bamboo. I buy them in a Small and they are the perfect oversized t-shirt. Buttery soft, expensive-looking and, most importantly, stay looking fresh after they’ve tumbled about in a washing machine. I’m hoarding a few!

You‘ve come to the right person

Hey Tyler, you can ignore all the other recs right away. My friends refer to me as the MERCH MASTER™️ and I’ve become the go-to info person when it’s time to make little silly shirts since I’ve spent the last decade making one off designs with different brands of t-shirts. Let me be your sensei. LA Apparel is great, I use them most often because I think they’re worth the premium. For the summer, their 6.5 oz shirts are light and come in a few fits (oversized, cropped, etc.). I think their 8.5 oz are also great but due to the weight they always end up holding their shape even once washed a dozen times. Not a bad thing, just never feels like it breaks in. Comfort Colors are a great choice because they’re mid-tier in terms of price and they age great. Just take into account the fade is drastic; black t-shirts end up grey over time which I like but some people might not. I think the garment dying has something to do with it. Only other gripe is quality control isn’t great; I’ve had batches come with messed up hems or collars. Doesn’t always happen, but it has on occasion. I’d stick to their heavyweight because although marked as heavy, it isn’t at all. Hanes Beefy T’s are a long game t-shirt. They feel cheap and weird for the first 100 wears and then from 101 onwards they’re perfectly broken in. Sure they’re the ‘cheap’ choice but that’s not a bad thing. I’m currently wearing a Jesus Piece band t-shirt I bought in 2020 — it’s perfect now. As Colour is a relatively new contender that’s pitched to be the LA Apparel killer (spoiler: it isn’t). Although good they seem to be stacked up closer to Comfort Colors than LAA. Their heavy t feels closer to mid-weight than heavy, but it’s still great for the summer. I also like their classic t-shirt, just fits snugger than what you might like. They have a new class -2” which gives you the snug feeling with a cropped length; I love it. If you need recs for print shops, I have one I use out of Brooklyn called Wünder. They do great printing and I’ve used them for shirts, totes, and even embroidery on hats. Excellent quality. I’m also a fan of Beyond Belief out of North Carolina (note: he is a friend of mine), he ships and his pricing is competitive. Quality is excellent too. Really comes down to how big of an order you have + how fast you need it. If you have any more questions feel free to reach out.

Paynter jacket co

Small batch jackets/tees/etc. with a focus on high-quality materials and sustainability. I have some of these Six Mile tees as great basics options and I want some more when they finally come back in stock. Will eventually pick up a jacket as well, waiting to fall 100% in love with one due to them being a little pricey.

drinking water before bed but like, a lot

I think going to sleep is the really fun part of sleeping. The feeling of drifting off is what we're here for right? Drink a bunch of water before bed and not only do you wake up more hydrated but you'll likely get to get up and head to the loo AT LEAST once. Without this break in your sleep, we zoom unawares towards our alarms. Only recommended for people who actually get up when they need to pee.
