Not the undershirts you buy but a good cotton t-shirt. Everything you buy now is either skin tight or turn into a belly shirt after one wash.

I miss the days of a normal fitting t-shirt with the correct length

They’re not skin tight - you’ve just put on fat.

Shop Buck Mason - Buck Mason.com. Basic cotton Tees, several cloth weights, colors, etc. Most US made from US cotton. Not cheap, but what is today?

I think you need to have a conversation with the mirror about just exactly what is the correct size for you, ma'am.

It is amazing how much better shirts fit when you drop a significant amount of body fat.

...or - just a radical idea, I admit - buy the correct size.

More specifically, single stitch cotton tshirts.

Really depends on the manufacturer but the dimensions difference between XL and XXL leaves a lot to be desired.

I’m in favor of anything that makes fat people feel uncomfortable.

As an avid fisherman, I wish they’d ban the baggy fishing shirts so fat asses would stop wearing them to church.

You're right, they're especially scarce. Only Amazon, Old Navy, Target, Walmart, WearCotton, Origin Main, Gap, Nordstrom Rack, Uniqlo, ClassicTShirt, Cotton On, LL Bean, Hanes, Fruit of the Loom and a select few others produce these rarities.

Man, just an ounce of self reflection and this would all makes sense for you
