About a year ago, I researched the most comfortable T-shirt. There were quite a few people who mentioned this specific brand I’d never heard of so I bought about 10 shirts and was sorely disappointed—-I got had by a smart marketer I think.

But a few other people mentioned the Peruvian Pima cotton shirts that are sometimes available at Costco. Generally they show up once per year, in February.

So when they finally showed up, I bought 11. I didn’t realize, until I had these shirts, that I’d never really owned comfortable T-shirts. I’ve worn these every day since I bought them and cannot recommend them enough.

Friends don’t let friends wear crappy cotton.

Now I'm not sure if I should believe you or if you're a smart marketer yourself.

Plus, why in the world would you blindly buy ten T-Shirts you don't know twice?

[Sebguer]

i think they would probably shill for something more achievable than a shirt you can sometimes get once a year at costco, haha

[iambateman]

Ha! You can check my comment history, my Costco T-shirt love is genuine. :)

The second time, I was in the store and could tell these were legitimately great.

In the near future our AI assistants will talk with each other and check if the source can be trusted or not

In the near future our AI assistants will try to scam each other.

What I have a struggle with: Choice. Buy a plain well-fitting/nice-material shirt, or buy a tent/schmedium that will pill, but has something cool printed on it.

Or you could find a local tailor to adjust any shirt to be well-fitting on you.

[the__alchemist]

That's a good idea. I think in this case, the poor fit also correlates with poor material, which is beyond their capability.

It's my opinion that t-shirts with something printed on the front have never been and will never be cool, so I don't struggle with this choice at all

Next Level Apparel and Target's Goodfellow ones are pretty good, and average ~$10/article. A TON of fashion advice forums and subreddits swear by them as a perfect middle-ground between cost and function.

Do you think a 5* rating on Amazon mean the product is good?

[moltar]

It’s good for the given price point. You can a six pack of Amazon basic for a low price. They are good. For sleeping.
