Give me a V!

November 2, 2007 7:01 PM

Help me find a V-Neck undershirt that plays well with my dress shirts.

When using buttoned dress shirts, I like to leave unbuttoned a pair of buttons. Problem is, if I use a regular v-neck undershirts, it looks ugly because people can see them just where the last buttoned button is. I have found some deep v-neck undershirts made by C-IN2 that works great in my case. Problem is, I've had a lot of problems finding them lately and, to make things worse, I can only search for them when I go to the U.S.

Do you know of other brands that make deep v-neck undershirts?

Best answer: American Apparel does.

(and will presumably ship them to wherever you are)

I get them at banana republic. Their advantage is that they are also nice and soft.

Hugo Boss
Best quality shirts. Similar in style to Banana Republic but much better sheen, feel, quality and lasts much longer.

Belive it or not it is worth the cost. and cost really isn't that bad considering it will probably last twice as long.

I'd definitely recommend American Apparel for good quality shirts suitable to be worn under other shirts.

You maybe can't see it from the pictures, but JC Penney's (yes, JC Penney) Stafford shirts have a neck so deep that I can't stand wearing them.

thanks for the suggestions but I haven't been able to find models from either Banana or Hugo Boss that look like they have deep v-necks. Will keep searching though.

nicwolf,

will definetly buy one.

Does it have to be a full undershirt? I've found that an A-Shirt (aka, wife-beater) is very effective at allowing more liberal unbuttoning.

Response by poster: plinth,

thanks for the suggestion but wife-beaters dont help with armpit sweat. I don't sweat much, but nevertheless.

That's fair. I chose those for wearing under silk shirts, specifically for armpit sweat. They mostly keep that tickling latismus trickle at bay, which was the reason the silk shirts drove me nuts.
