Having realised I need a wardrobe refurb some help would be appreciated

Id like to buy some decent plain T shirts +/- a polo shirt and am wondering if there are any stand out online retailers I should take a look at.

Ive discounted Arket - their stuff is really good but they use Evri/Hermes and I cant even trust these clowns to leave it safely at the local shop which *should* be foolproof and also I used Charles Tyrwhitt once on a PH rec and still get regular spam post and email even though I opted out of marketing

Cheers, and thanks in advance

I use Uniqlo.

Just had an order this week, and happy enough.

I bulk buy Gildan T-shirts, loads of colour options, decent quality and cheap as chips.

Basics:
Gildan Ultra Cotton from eBay

I have endless adverts on Instagram for these two and have considered them, but never felt the need to pay the extra above Gildan:

I've always found Next to be good quality for the price

+1 for Guildan t shirts - they are cheap but ok quality.

For more substantial polo shirts (which also don't cost the earth), I've had positive experiences with Englebert Strauss workwear. Their normal t shirrts are also pretty good.

I’m not knocking them, as I own quite a few of them, but be aware rapanui t-shirts are actually just printed on demand service from ‘tee mill’. the t-shirts are good, and i like the designs, but not sure i’d pay the premium for ‘rapanui’ on some plain unbranded tee’s!

I have a bunch of plain t’s from H&M, and they last pretty well for the price

Go shopping and physically try as many as possible and see what feels and looks best on you. The difference between t shirt fitments is immense.

Sunspel are very good, fit well and use high quality cotton.
Generally UK made too, at least for the plain colours.
Not cheap, although there seems to be a sale on at the mo..

Personally I find Joules t-shirts to be of good quality and reasonably priced, especially in their constant sales.

LandsEnd.
Just bought more t-shirts and polos in their sale.
Their Supima polos are lovely ones. Soft, comfortable and long lasting. The sale is still on....

I need some t-shirts too and my problem is that I'm lean and on the taller side hence for most t-shirts the sleeves is too short, I do like regular fit t shirt and also be machine washable

Always used Uniqlo until I found these.

Better quality, cheaper (if you buy the multipacks) and seem to wash and iron better

I don’t pay a premium and just buy the plain ones which are organic, come packed in recyclable packaging and cheaper than many high street brands.

Anywhere worth looking at for bulk packs other than Rapanui?

I have bought the Gildan bulk packs off Amazon in the past but they seem to get out of shape and go stiff quite easily and without wanting to sound gross they seem to consistently make me sweat like a pig whilst other random tee shirts I have just don't confused

I assume cotton isn't all the same.

Another vote here for Uniqlo, I started shopping there around 5/6yrs ago and I'd say its probably 50% of my wardrobe now. They also use the same factories as Boss, Armani & one other brand I cant remember. For T shirts the Uniqlo U range is my go to, nice heavy shirts with a proper neck
