Also worth noting that the only review on the website is very accurate despite being a 1-star review: "The quality of material is great. Neck is too low. Too lenghty".

These are exactly the reasons why I like this shirt. Great material, neck is not too tight, probably an inch longer than many other fitted t-shirts, so your underwear isn't showing all the time.

Very good to know, now I won't waste $15. ;-)

This whole comment thread is teaching me that apparently there isn't /any/ objective truth when it comes to t shirt comfort.

Before today I figured that was an objective fact that the cheap Hanes ones were unloved -- neck always stretched out, too short and stout.

I'm a fan of LA apparel (aka american apparel) as well as some bella+canvas ones. That stretched out neck just gives me flashbacks to middle school, ugh.

That's true of many things and has been for a long time. "De gustibus non disputandum est," as the Romans said. "It's useless to argue about taste."

I updated your statement for the remainder of modern history. ^_^

FWIW I don't think Intimissimi shirts have a quote-unquote "stretched out neck", just a tiny bit of extra room... I hadn't even noticed it until I read the review
