Prince's taste, paupers finances.

I really like the fabric/material in the "Life is Good" shirts...

They are comfortable and durable. I do NOT like paying $30 for screenprinted t-shirt, and I really don't wear logos. Can you direct me to plain (any color is fine) tshirts of this quality/construction? Whole-box options are fine as well, I can print my own or go blank.

If you can live with the "life is good" logo, I have gotten these shirts for as little as ten dollars at Marshalls. You have to look through the racks,

Look for 100%, 6.1oz cotton. The Hanes Beefy-T is a great shirt, many places sell them online for under $10 (but shipping may add to that).

Thanks both of you. I really just learned of the magic that is TJ Maxx/Marshalls (our TJM just had for real All-Clad the other day, but it was still a little rich for my blood) but I really have limited patience for digging for what I want...attribute it to the part where I hate shopping, heh.

Can I ask, what is 6.1oz cotton? I'll google it here in a second.

I actually have a Hanes Beefy Tee I got when I was 11 years old, back when my dad was a park ranger. GE used to have their company picnics at our park, and they had extras and gave two to me. I still have them both and still wear them, although they are admittedly getting a little threadbare in the shoulders. For the record, I'm 32.
