I've found recently that pretty much anywhere I look for a t-shirt, the quality of the fabric pretty shoddy and feels almost paper thin. I also have a problem in that I'm 6ft, but with short legs so most t-shirts I buy aren't really long enough, and of course the crappy fabric means that they get even shorter after a few runs through the tumble dryer!

Any suggestions for places to try please?

I buy long length from Jacamo and they are all decent shirts that seem to keep their shape pretty well

Lands End.
They do a tall range.
Not the cheapest but good quality. I have t’s and polos that are lasting forever!

Engelbert Strauss tall/long range. Very tough polo shirts too.

Try spoke-london.com - you can actually specify a size, fit and length.
They are expensive but they are really good quality t-shirts.

That said I wouldn't run any clothes you like with natural fibres through a tumble dryer. It's just asking for trouble surely!?

T-shirts from Joe Browns are all long length I have found (too long for me!).

Crew Clothing Co make great t-shirts in a very heavy weight cotton. Just don’t tumble dry them! I’m 6’3” and very slim and their large size comes down to just over the pockets of my jeans.

I'm a bit taller than you but short legs as well (relatively).

I buy M+S t-shirts. Cheap and do lots of colours in Long. The Long fitting isn't available in the stores or the mobile app just through their website. They do crew neck and V neck and go in and out of stock quickly so worth re-checking if they don't have what you want in stock

As mentioned previously, there is no way I would tumble dry t-shirts (or any of my clothes) as there is a good chance they are going to shrink. I also wash them at 30 to minimise the risk. Like the OP, i’m 6ft with a long trunk so can’t afford any shrinkage!

I find Lulu Lemon shirts really comfortable to wear. I wear them most of the time I'm not seeing customers...and sometimes when I am!

Best advice I ever got here was to hold your t-shirts by the shoulders and shake them out in front of you while still wet, then let them dry on a hanger

I do this once dry as well, just before putting them on

I do that with all my clothes when they come out the washing machine. Haven’t ironed anything in years.

Best thing is they were £5 for white t-shirts...

Nothing to do with Liam anymore, think Mike Ashley owns it now.

I have the same issue, I'm not tall (5ft 8) but I'm more upper body than legs.
