I'm not sure if this is in the right section. If not can I ask the mods to move it.

I have been buying my Tee shirts from Marks and Spencers for the past 40 years or so. The last few are not looking good and only a few washes in.

The problem is the neck.....goes all baggy and stretched and looks a complete mess. Not happy! More importantly she's not!

I just want plain grey and navy Tee Shirts that look tidy, not shapeless etc and nicely fitted close up around the neck.

Fellow PHs ....where do you buy from?

The last ones I bought came from eBay, I think it was five decent medium weight plain shirts for about £14. They last reasonably well.

Look up Gildan on Amazon.

Great quality, even the PH shop uses them.

The T-Shirst that I live in are the Under Armour tactical stuff. Only reason to go 'tactical' is that the branding is either non-existent or very subtle.

They are supremely comfortable, look smart and like new after many, many wears.

They do different fits so good for all body types. Colours are limited but they do various stuff at different times.

Go for the XXXXL Loose, extra stretchy.

Surgery is the answer.

For every day and work type stuff, I get Fruit of the loom heavy cotton from Amazon, at £12 for 5, they are hard to beat.

Serious question - how do you put the t-shirts on? Or do you ever expand the neck in any way during the day?

If you're stretching it all putting your head through, could solve your problem. And hers too smile

This is why I buy quite a few t-shirts from here:

If it gets ripped, stained or you just want to change the size just send it back and they will exchange it. For life.

The Gildan ones look fine and worth a try. Might also go Fruit of the Loom as I have one of their hoodies and it’s ok.

I do over head and then arms so I suppose I should be more careful but having done this forever I don’t see it’s all my fault. Your are correct Mrs 33q nags me about it....and lots more besides!

I know how to fix your problem. It'll be expensive but you'll soon stop caring about t-shirts.

I buy from the "muscle fit" range at River Island. Not because I'm a ripped gym junkie but because they're stretchy and if you buy one size up it fits like a normal t-shirt but without the eventual loss of shape.

I haven't bought from them but Uni Qlo are highly rated for their tshirts and jeans.

The tshirts in particular are very cheap (in price) but not quality (from what i've read).

I buy my T-shirts from Rohan, have several that I bought years ago and they are still in-shape and feel good and I've just bought a replacement in their sale for one that I managed to spill oil on and ruined.
