Layering T-Shirts

[JohnDoe]

This seems like it'd be an easy thing to find, but I've been having a hard time. I wear a white t-shirt under most of my top layer shirts (button down, long and short sleeve polos, sweathers, etc.). I've been wearing J. Crew's short sleeve layering t-shirts (large) for a while, but they're starting to get worn out. They work well in the sense that they aren't skin tight, but they're fairly short so I don't need to tuck them in. Went and bought some new ones from J Crew and they're much too long. Can't seem to find the original ones anywhere. Bought some Calvin Klein and those were also too long. Anyone wear layering t-shirts that seem to be shorter than normal and that you don't need to tuck in to keep them from hanging below your top layer shirt?

[crazymage]

J. Crew is for sissies.

[Tisket]

Have you washed them yet? Cotton shrinks up.

Sincerely,
Ms. Obvious

[longshot]

Try Banana Republic.

Calvin Klein's suck. The material around the neck, the collar of the shirt if you will, is too wide. It looks like shit.

If Banana doesn't work, try 2(e)xist. They're not very long, but they do shrink up a lot, so be careful if you don't like them too tight.

Having said that... I usually tuck in my undershirts and avoid your problem all together.

Yeah, this is kind of common sense I'd think. There's nothing wrong with tucking in the bottom of an undershirt. The bottom of it should never be seen anyway.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Most of my guy friends wash their shirts and don't deal with this "aftermath".

[Paradii]

Why not just cut the shirt to the size you want it.


Or buy one of those whore shirts that them pornie-stars where that cover like half of the tits. Those are awesome. And I am certain won't look gay on you at all......definitely not gay.

[AnticorRifling]

What the fuck is a layering shirt? Does it come with a nesting box? Are you required to cut up your man card the second you go to a store and ask for said layering shirt?

[Skeeter]

Yeah, WTF is wrong with just wearing 1 shirt? It's worked well for me for years.

[Sean]

He must not have manly chest hair to show off at the neckline.

I wear an undershirt when I wear a dress shirt, but I didn't know it was called a layering shirt??

[AnticorRifling]

Same.

I always wear an undershirt, no wife beater WTF is the point of an undershirt that has holes where you sweat the most?! I've never heard it called a layering shirt. Hell I even wear different colored undershirts depending on what I'm wearing but layering shirt just sounds wrong.

[Trouble]

It's only a layering shirt if you see it, I think. Since you don't normally see an undershirt when it's worn with a dress shirt, it wouldn't count.

All my undershirts are high and tight around the throat so they are seen when I'm wearing any polo style button down. I don't like undershirts that droop at the collar and v-neck undershirts are a big hell no.

You know how I know you're gay? Because you're concerned about layering shirts.

Crew neck FTW
V-Neck and wife beaters are fucking illogical to wear for the purposes of wearing an undergarment. Might as well break loose the top 3 buttons, grab a big circa-1970's gold medallion and flare those tab collars. Ya dig?

I use RL undershirts - they are snug, thick enough to control sweat when I'm outside (without soaking through to my outer shirt), and long enough so the tail doesnt roll up your back (which is annoying as fuck). Works especially well when said undershirt tail is tucked into boxers/briefs.

Dressing well and presenting yourself at your best is now metro?

I go Hanes tagless (fucking hate itchy tags) at medium size. With a chest size at 42 a medium is tight and neat underneath. Since its an undershirt no one will think I’m trying to look like I’ve been working out.

As for washing... I’ve found they have a shelf life of about 4-6 months before they start to yellow and the pits stain from the deodorant. They are cheap so just chuck them and buy a new set.

I second that emotion with a straight facepalm picture.

[TheEschaton]

Men don't need to look their best. As Methais already pointed out, men are already better than women.

Men only need to look good when they're trying to impress other men. IE, when they're gay, or when they're closing a business deal.

42 inch chest!?! LOL

And you make fun of me tucking in my undershirts.

Drink some milk, tiny.

:lol:

...or when they're closing a business deal.

Bingo.
(add entertaining to that)

Otherwise its all about wearing Tshirts and cargo shorts.

[Back]

And you make fun of me tucking in my undershirts.

Into your boxers/briefs, yes. Who taught you how to dress? Your mom?

[TheEschaton]

I admit, I only tuck them into my pants, not my boxers, but I'm some furriner.

-TheE-

[Sean]

I don't like walking out of the house just wearing a t-shirt but if i wear one under a collared shirt I generally tuck it in ... but I'd never tuck them into my boxers that just sounds ridiculous.

[CrystalTears]

What's the big deal with tucking in the boxers? I've known men to do that, so when they slip in and out of their pants, the shirt is already taken care of.

[Gan]

Into your boxers/briefs, yes. Who taught you how to dress? Your mom?

Undershirt tucked into the boxers... outer shirt tucked in over boxer/undershirt layer.

That keeps the undershirt from bunching up under your overshirt in the back.

Actually, I learned how to dress as taught by both mother and father. Parenting is a dual purpose opportunity - not that you would know about that.

[Gan]

And one should NEVER tuck in their outershirt into their boxers.

Thats just fucking stupid.

[Clove]

My parents died in a car crash when I was 8. So I guess you’re right.

Anyway, to each their own. I’m serious about the shelf-life of undershirts. Once I see them turning color from my white button-down I scrap them and buy new.

Sucks to be you.

The bottom of it should never be seen anyway.Unless you're cool and wear an undershirt purposefully longer than the top shirt (not a good move with dress shirts). Again, this only applies if you're cool. :yes:

[AnticorRifling]

False and double fail.

I tuck the undershirt into the band of my drawers, I tuck my shirt into my pants, you never see the drawers because I actually finish getting dressed. I also wear my shit correctly and not sagging like a douche.

I'm going to agree with Gan on this one.

[Sean]

So old people with kids tuck their undershirts into their underwear is the lesson to be learned here?

[Gan]

Just you wait buddy.


Just you wait...

[JohnDoe]

Unless I'm wearing a t-shirt as the top layer, I rarely go out of the house without wearing a t-shirt under the top layer. If I'm wearing a button down I tuck it in. I have several other shirts that I don't like tucking the t in with. Especially on hot & humid summer days when I can't just wear a plain t-shirt, I think it's cooler having the undershirt untucked.

And yes, tucking it in solves the problem. The other obvious solution is to buy something 1 size too small and deal with it being a little snug. But I figured someone might know about some t-shirts out there that run shorter than the usual ts. I'll check those 2xexist ones out that someone mentioned.

Cheap, tagless, fit well.

Too lazy to quote.
42 inch chest FTL.
Tucking undershirt (WTF is a layering shirt?) into boxers FTL.
Boxers FTL.

[Sean of the Thread]

I wear undershirts when wearing shirt and tie. *Tucked in of course. wtf would be the point otherwise.

I wear a normal t-shirt usually gray or white under other printed t-shirts or polo non tucked.

[Back]

This is all about dress-up.

I do not do the t-shirt under t-shirt thing. Is it some t-shirt protection or cultural thing? I always go “commando” when it’s casual time.

[NocturnalRob]

Is it some t-shirt protection or cultural thing?

you don't want pit stains on your nice button-downs

[Sean]

Yea I never think to wear a t-shirt under a t-shirt.

[JohnDoe]

I'm talking a t-shirt under polo shirts, or maybe a button down that's untucked, some sweaters, you name it other than t-shirt under t-shirt.

We get that. We were responding to the likes of Sean2.

[Trouble]

I'll wear an undershirt under a t-shirt if it's a t-shirt I particularly like. It's to help prevent degradation from deodorant or whatever it is that causes pit stains.

As far as undershirts go, I like the Hanes Premium tagless ones too. I like their extended length. The ones I used to use (Fruit of the Loom) would come untucked too easily and that bugged me when wearing dress shirts.

[AnticorRifling]

I wear an undershirt under all my other shirts, polos, dress shirts, tshits, all of them.

As for the tucking the undershirt into the drawers I've been doing that since bootcamp. Prevents bunching and wrinkling so you don't look like a bag of ass.

[Gan]

so you don't look like a bag of ass.

I :lol: @ this. Loudly.

[Sean]

At him not wanting to look like a bag of ass or him trying to look good for his bootcamp buddies?

Did you wear shirt-stays? The guy across from me who was in the Chair Force said that most of the guys he worked with wore them so they didn't look like a bum.

The phraseology.

Just struck me funny.

[Sean of the Thread]

Oh my reason is simple. It just looks better on a heavier set guy imo. Main reason I do it.

Other times I'll wear say a slightly longer gold or yellow shirt under my green USF polo to the games etc.

[The Ponzzz]

Shit, I just buy whatever is a good price. Tuck it in and bam. I don't get much say with my XL ass (I like to eat).

56 replies.. about a "layering shirt"?

Wow... just.. wow.

T-shirt and Board shorts. Throw in a pair of 3 dollar local slippers and you got yourself an outfit. Of course, you'd have to move to hawaii.

When I wear dress shirts I do.
