What Brands Make High-Quality T-Shirts That Will Last a Long Time?

Australian made would be great too! All my shirts are old and ratty so looking to upgrade to a couple of decent ones instead of a bunch of rubbish ones I hate wearing.

  • I find the tshirts from Uniqlo very good quality. After years of wear they still look good. Also Esprit.

    Sportscraft too, but it’s a bit more expensive.

    If you really want Australian made, you’re unlikely to find that from mainstream retailers. You’ll have to go online and pay $$$$

    From cheap to expensive:

    Certton https://www.occapparel.com.au/occ-services/t-shirt-supply/ce…
    Qualitops https://www.qualitops.com.au/product-category/mens/mens-t-sh…
    Bandsome https://bandsome.com/product/wholesale-mens/
    Bassike https://www.bassike.com/men/organic-jersey/t-shirts

    For quality Australian brand (but not Australian-made) tees, you can't go wrong with AS Colour (even if they've hiked their prices quite a bit over the past few years). Comparable in quality probably to Uniqlo (but they're not AU-owned and their labour practices are apparently questionable). I've also heard good things about Marcs tees (at least before they were purchased by Myer). Otherwise, SABA, Sportscraft, Academy Brand, Country Road, Trenery etc on sale should all be fine.

  • On the same topic, what online retailers make good quality novelty shirts (with cool or funny artwork etc). My ones from Threadless wear out really quickly (they stretch and go thinner and get holes)

      Teefury are pretty good quality shirts. Teeturtle seemed too thin.
      You can browse most of the sites from DayOfTheShirt

      • Teefury shirts are very sturdy, and now they leveled up their printing process the print lasts as long as the shirt. I have a 7 year old shirt from their original printing process that is just a shadow of its original print, but the 3 year old shirts with new printing process are still looking good, no broken print or fading.

  • Sunspel, my good man.

    • Can't decide if I'd want to spend my $100 on 1 of these or 23 Kmart t-shirts.

      • Don't waste time deciding, just buy this one for only 135GBP +20GBP shipping. Seriously though, I bought a couple of their shirts years ago when I had money and can recommend if you also have money. Part of the allure is the feeling you get when wearing something special. These don't have stupid logos like Lacoste and Ralph Lauren to advertise your specialness :-P

    • They look like the shirt Zuck wears.

  • Gucci
    Versace
    Moschino

      Thanks for sharing but when I think long lasting I don't tend to think technical fabrics, I'm after like, 100% cotton/linen/abusable natural fabrics. I find that the synthetic fabrics are prone to stretching, fading, etc etc.

    Google american giant. Not cheap by the time you get them here but they are made in the usa using real american cotton. The whoke value chain in fact is in the USA.

    They last forever so are a real bargain.

    Sometimes they run 5 shirts for usd89.

      100% USA made 5 for 90 sounds like a pretty good deal to me! Thanks man I'll investigate.

  • I like Gildan 2000 Ultra and Earth Positive Mens Heavy tshirts. Both are cheap. You would probably need to get them from a company that sells blank t-shirts to screen printers.
