Men's T-Shirts
Men's undershirts and crewneck t-shirts have become the standard underwear under
polo's and dress shirts. Your men's underwear wardrobe needs to be stocked with
comfortable basics like tank tops, muscle tee shirts and crewneck tees. HisRoom
carries athletic shirts and sleeveless shirts for lightweight comfort. You can
find all your men's undershirts right here on our site.
Not all t-shirts/undershirts are the same. Finding the right style and fit for
you can be quite a challenge. It can almost be as illusive as your perfect pair
of jeans. For something so simple, t-shirts have several features that need
consideration: the quality of the cotton, the cut, the length and the stretch. I
have put together a list of my favorite men's T-Shirts/undershirts, and I'd be
surprised if you didn't find one on this list that is right for you.
The range in quality in men's t-shirts is extraordinary. They start with free
and zoom up to luxurious pima cotton by Zimmerli and Hanro. With the onslaught
of business casual, men's tee shirts have come out of the undershirt drawer and
are being worn as outerwear. So no longer do men just have undershirts. Two
wardrobes of t-shirts are needed for each guy - the undershirt to catch
perspiration and peek out from under another shirt, and quality t-shirts to
throw on during casual times and under jackets.
Tagless t-shirts
The concept of a t-shirt without a back neck tag was first introduced to us by
Hanes and Michael Jordan. Since then tagless t-shirts are fast becoming the
norm. The information that came on a tag is now being fused or ironed on the
inside of men's t-shirts and undershirts to alleviate the scratching and fashion
faux pas of peeking out at the neck. Make sure when you buy tagless undershirts
and t-shirt that the information does not show throw your tee when wearing it.
Men's undershirts should be different from men's t-shirt or tee
collection. Why? Because undershirts serve a different purpose and thus should
have different features, cuts and fabrics. The goal of an undershirt is to grab
perspiration and body oil thus protecting the outer garment such as a dress
shirt or jacket. To that end, an undershirt should be absorbent, form-fitting
and with the right neckline - crew neck or v-neck - depending on whether or not
you want it to show. An undershirt can also serve as an additional layer for
warmth. Therefore, it can be long sleeve. Eventually, undershirts will become
yellow and dingy. When this happens, they should be tossed and replaced.
The tank top tee-shirt silhouette has seen a rise in popularity. Perhaps
for two reasons: it shows off a man's arms, and it looks better under shirts.
Body conscious men like to work out in tank tops because it is minimal coverage
while at the same time totally exposing their arms. Wearing a tank top under a
dress shirt - especially a white one - avoids that silly short sleeve live along
the arm.
There have been recent variations to the traditional tank top tee shirt. 2xist
came out with its 3127 square cut tank top. Rapper 50 Cent turned it into his
uniform, and it's popularity went through the roof. This t-shirt is now copied
and made in every imaginable fabrication.
The tank top has also taken on the name of muscle shirt. With even lower cut
armholes and necline, the muscle shirt is an adaptation of the tanktop. It comes
in many colors and has become part of the street culture fashion. It can also be
seen in gyms where the silhouette is made in high-performance fabrics that wick
moisture away.
| To help you build your undershirt and t-shirt wardrobes, below is a quick list
of the different styles, and manufacturers who carry them: |
 |
Crewneck T-shirt
A high-necked, round collarless neckline with a rib finishing.
Popularized by crew racers, this neckline is now popular in T-shirts. |
 |
V-Neck T-Shirt
A v-shaped, collarless neckline with a rib or tape finish. A traditional
v-neck comes to 1" below the clavicle. It was designed to be worn under
an oxford shirt when worn casually with the top button open. |
 |
Sleeveless or Muscle Shirt
A crewneck t-shirt without the sleeves. Generally, used as outerwear,
gym wear, and loungewear. It can also be worn as innerwear when the
ability to see the short sleeve through your dress shirt is undesirable. |
 |
Tank Top
A sleeveless knit shirt with a deep, U-shaped neckline and deep
armholes. Originally an athletic garment, tank tops have found a place
in the modern wardrobe, to be worn layered or on its own. Currently, the
slang for this style shirt carries the name of "wife beater." |
 |
Henley Shirt
A lightweight, collarless knit shirt with a buttoned placket at the
neckline, and sometimes a contrasting lining at the placket and around
the neck. The name comes from the crew-racing shirts worn at Henley, the
site of a famed annual rowing regatta in the U.K. |
