Undershirts

Our sale on t-shirts reminded me that I'm wanting to replace the t-shirts I wear as undershirts. In large part this is motivated by me having lost a lot of weight over the past 10 months, about 70 to 75 lbs. (as a comparison, last fall I was buying Meh shirts in size XXL; this time around I bought M). I've always found undershirts to be terribly annoying to purchase. Generally the sleeves are too long, so if one is wearing a short sleeved shirt, the undershirt will protrude beyond the outer shirt's sleeve. Also, the shirts tend to not be long enough in the torso, so the body of the shirt comes un-tucked easily. It's pretty annoying to feel a shirt roaming freely inside another shirt. Of course, the shirts are sold pre-packaged in sealed plastic bags, so it's difficult to really check them out and try before purchasing them (not that I'd really want to try on any sort of undergarment after someone else).

I measured the medium undershirt I wore today and it had sleeves that were 7.5 inches from the top of the seam along the shoulder to the cuff; I'd say 5 inches would be a better number. The torso looked to measure about 23 inches at its longest; 26 or 27 would seem better. Of course, this is an older shirt, so it might have shrunk some over time.

Since these can prove to be tricky to purchase, I decided to call upon the collective wisdom (?) of my fellow Mehricans. Have you found any brand of t-shirt/undershirt that adequately addresses these problems?

Also, if any Mediocre employees know of any extra cracked flask shirts in size medium laying around the office, I'd love to swap out my now too-large shirt! 😉
