A t-shirt is just a t-shirt, right? Wrong. In fact, there are countless differences between brands of shirts. These sometimes-subtle differences can be huge factors when trying to decide which shirt will work best for you. That\u2019s where I can help! I took 5 different shirts that we offer and wore them for a week to test them out. The shirts I chose to include in my research were all 100% cotton basic white t-shirts.<\/p>\n

American Apparel 2001
\nAlternative Apparel AA05
\nHanes Beefy Tee 5180
\nHanes Tagless Tee 5250
\nGildan 2000<\/p>\n

For the fashion forward readers (like myself) I would highly recommend the Alternative Apparel and the American Apparel custom t-shirts<\/a>. Both of these garments have a slimmer cut and a more vintage feel them. American Apparel is produced entirely in the United States, unlike the others, but is at the higher end of the cost spectrum. The Alternative Apparel t-shirt has a more sheer quality to it and it is extremely soft and breathable. Currently, the Alternative Apparel AA05 is not available on our site, but is making its debut in the coming weeks!<\/p>\n

For the shopper on a budget, I would recommend the Gildan 2000<\/a>. The 2000<\/a> is one of our top sellers due to its low price, superior fit and wide range of sizes. With over 60 colors in sizes small to 2X and select colors going up to 3XLT, the choices are limitless!<\/p>\n

If you like a beefier tee that holds up to lots of hard wear and tear, Hanes is the brand for you. The Hanes Beefy Tee<\/a> is wider cut than the other shirts, but is excellent for any athletic activities you may find yourself in. Also the Beefy 5180<\/a> tee and its Tagless 5250<\/a> counterpart come in a wide range of colors and sizes sure to fit anyone and any budget.<\/p>\n

No matter which shirt you choose, you are bound to get a great deal and an even greater shirt, especially with BlueCotton.com<\/a> on your side!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
