Good quality t-shirts with long length?

[MrBig]

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?

Wow, loads more replies than I expected. Thanks to you all, much appreciated.

I am 6 2. Reiss are probably the best cost vs quality but be careful of buying their sale/discount lines as the fabrics are not as good. They really take a beating though, I mean, I have some much more expensive ones that have died months before the Reiss do.

Avoid Ralph Lauren Polo t-shirts at all cost.

If you want to pony up for some 'best of the best' t-shirts without spending over a 100 then Sunspel t-shirts are probably the best, if you have the cash.

Want funky but still good quality? Sundek t-shirts also take a good beating and can be found on sale.

Totally agree about the RL t shirts. Fabric is paper thin. I've spent some time wondering round outlet stores on 2 continents over the last few weeks and come to the conclusion that basically any high street brand (even the premium ones) basically make their T's from toilet paper. What's odd is that the shirt I've brought from car shows or from Finnegans garage or West Coast Customs have always been Fruit of the Loom or Hanes Beefy which have been nice and thick and lasted years.

Just to update this, I eventually stumbled across some decent long length T's at Cotton Traders. My local garden centre has a concession there and with the sale on they were £9 each. Perfect for simple everyday wear.
