I get the XL so it's long enough (and I'm busty and don't want the skin tight look).<br /> If I have to default to mens, I get small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elusive-perfect-grey-tee#post-1554229 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 17:01:01 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1554229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another quick thought - Dukuth Trading. Their quality is great, although the tees may skew a bit more casual than you have in mind.</p> <p><a href="http://women.duluthtrading.com/store/womens/womens-shirts-womens-tops/womens-t-shirts/womens-t-shirts.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://women.duluthtrading.com.....hirts.aspx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elusive-perfect-grey-tee#post-1554137 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:36:22 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1554137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I haven't ever even heard of Everlane or Grana. But I will do some checking online.</p> <p>CocoLion, I just cleared out a lot of Lands End tees. I kept a couple for gardening, but they're just too boxy for me. I love the rib material, though. I have switched to their "shaped" fit tees which are thinner, because I wear them under a cardigan or jacket fall into winter. </p> <p>I'm going to head over to Eddie Bauer today and see what I can come up with.</p> <p>Thanks, all! That certainly gives me something to start with!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elusive-perfect-grey-tee#post-1553823 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:00:15 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1553823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you looked at Everlane or Grana? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elusive-perfect-grey-tee#post-1553820 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 22:54:33 +0000 CocoLion 1553820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am recommending three tees here. &nbsp;Two I own, one I do not but is similar to one I own.</p> <p>First, I have this Lands End striped tee (I sized up to achieve the pictured fit). &nbsp;I know it's not gray, but the black and white stripes (black + white = gray right?) might function in the same way within an outfit. &nbsp;Anyway it's the best tee I've purchased in a while. &nbsp;The second find is the same tee in solid colors, maybe there's a color that would work for you. &nbsp;I checked and they don't have it in gray this year. &nbsp;Anyway, highly recommended. &nbsp;</p> <p>My third Find is a Madewell tee. &nbsp;It's not as thick as the Lands End. &nbsp;But, I like it, I have it in two colors. &nbsp;And it's available in gray. &nbsp;Maybe size down one size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elusive-perfect-grey-tee#post-1553789 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 21:22:50 +0000 greycat6 1553789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a bummer about losing the 'perfect' tee! &nbsp;:(</p> <p>Have you tried Old Navy? &nbsp;If I size up, their Fitted Tee works for me as you describe (I'm small busted with a narrow rib cage). &nbsp;If the Fitted Tee doesn't work, they also come in relaxed or boyfriend cuts. &nbsp;Can't beat the price! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elusive-perfect-grey-tee#post-1553782 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 21:04:06 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1553782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might check out Eddie Bauer's style called Favorite Tee.

I've bought several T's from them as well as some sweatshirts for others.

I got it at Levi's, and it was cotton, crew neck, the perfect length sleeves (not too long, longer than a cap sleeve but just barely), and I think the material would be considered a fine rib. It was fitted but loose enough over my chest that it wasn't obscene. My short list of fall shopping includes a tee just like this, and if I could find it in short AND long-sleeved versions I'd be happy. I've been looking a lot and all I can find are boxy tees, or tees where the material isn't substantial enough to hold its own against my imperfections. Suggestions?</p>
