Who makes the best quality t-shirts available in the UK?

April 20, 2021 3:50 AM

I wear a lot of t-shirts and I would like to get a few that put the rest of my t-shirts to shame. Who makes t-shirts and really pays attention to the quality of their fabric, cut and construction? Are there any companies that really specialise in this? I'd prefer plain tees over snazzy designs, but whatever you have, lay it on me.

I'm no t-shirt connoisseur, but The White T-Shirt Co is pretty good.

Rapanui are UK based and are seriously committed to sustainable production, with recycling and circular economy elements to their production. Decent price points also.

Community Clothing sustainable and affordable quality basics all made in the UK with a social conscience. (NB I haven't actually purchased any of their clothes, but I like the look of them).

American Giant is... American, but will ship to the UK. They’re known for their high quality basics.

The Uniqlo U sub-brand of Uniqlo has surprisingly great tees.

Sunspel
Asket

have both types and love them. Asket also lets you choose a length which is a plus for me.
