HEWI V-neck tees?

nemosmom

Hi friends!

Seems that over the course of my F/W edit, I removed all of my long-sleeve layering tees due to wear, tear, or fit issues. I cannot find replacements anywhere! Have you seen any that fit my needs (pun intended)?

I am looking for:

100% cotton;
long sleeve (not 3/4);
hip length (not tunic; not cropped);
V-neck preferred, but am desperate enough that I would settle for a crew neck or two;
Men's or women's. I prefer the broad shoulder and modest V fit of men's, but I would settle for women's;
Neutral or earthtone in color;
Under $25 each.

I have looked at Target, Jcrew, Madewell, Uniqlo, Land's End, LLBean.

Does anyone know where I might find some that check all the boxes?

Perhaps look at Loft, TJMaxx, Old Navy, Gap, Kohl's, or JCPenny (my list is based on your "under $25" price).

These are 95% cotton. DS#2 is a v-neck wearer and I bought him 4 of the short sleeved v-necks 6 weeks ago. They come through the wash (I hang dry) beautifully. They are long in the body, which is a rarity. Unfortunately the long sleeved version is crew neck only. Also, neutrals run in favour of the blue family. Your US $ might go quite far at a Canadian store. Also, they run BOGO’s all the time.

Try Boden. I have a burgundy long sleeve v-neck tee from them that I bought maybe two years ago that is excellent quality. I also got one from Universal Standard that is very nice. And I have had good experience with Rag & Bone knitwear and tees.

What about Eddie Bauer or Land's End?

I agree that options for basic long sleeve tees are quite limited right now. And all the ones I've looked at have the most boring colour selections. Usually Uniqlo has a cotton long-sleeve v-neck tee, but right now they don't.

I live in tees. I have a couple of tees from Marks that have lasted for years. Carla provided the links.
Most of my tees are from Three Dots and Velvet. They are definitely over $25.00. Three Dots has lots of colour options and necklines. The quality is excellent. I got mine from Amazon.

Thanks, Liz, Carla, and Janet! I am off to check all of these next!

LaPed - I have been stalking Uniqlo, as that is where I found some last year. Maybe I am just looking too early in the season? I checked Land's End and found these; better colors, but looser arm fit.

Thank you SF! I would increase my budget if I could get more than a season or two out of them! Off to check Marks and Two dots! Thank you!

Keep us posted on how you go Nemosmom - I used to love the supersoft Gap tees but they don't make them anymore, I don't think

Oh, I missed the price point part. H&M used to make great basic tees — maybe try them? Also, don’t overlook Target.

Boden tees will definitely last more than one season, BTW. They are substantial and hold their shape really well.

Uniqlo has great tees and a heavier fabric which I'm all for. None of those holes in front.

Duluth Trading Company has a nice long tail 100% cotton T-shirt.

They have v-necks, scoop and crew neck with long sleeves that cover my wrists. They’re a nice cotton, not see through, maybe even too hot for some summer days but hold up well.

I’ve been wearing them for years and haven’t found any I like better.

I have been wearing my tees for years. I just bought the Velvet one in a cream colour. I will see how it works out.

SuzyQ2 thanks for the review! I always look at the tees in the Duluth Trading Co catalog and wonder if I should try them. They sound like a great option.

LaP they are great. I did notice that the T shirts with the blended fabric run a bit smaller then the 100% cotton. In the catalog they look similar so read the description.

Thanks, everyone!
TG - Gap doesn't have the supersoft anymore. Those were a staple here, too!
Janet - Boden tops have been too short in the past, but I may look there again.

I have contacted customer service at Duluth and Talbot's with fit questions. I am having a rotten time finding knits that fit properly/comfortably these days. I fit a men's 38/40R sportcoat, but with my 30B bust, I am swimming in tops that fit my darn linebacker-shaped shoulders

I bought 2 of the Lands End tees that you mention above. They run big on me but they are longer, and the V is high. Better than too low, but not perfect. We'll see how they do when it gets cold and I wear them under a sweater. Sadly, J Crew and BR don't have my old favorites anymore. I used to load up on them in different colors in the fall. The LE will be fine for the coming months while I'm still at home. Not sure how much I will love them in the long run. I do like the big selection of colors.

Have you tried Costco? That's where I have gotten my layering tees lately, theycost less than $25 and they seem to last a couple of seasons.

Oops, I was going to recommend these, but they're rayon, not cotton, and not long-sleeved.
