Best undershirt for wider shoulders, narrow waist?

[sacto]

Guys, looking for the most comfortable, form fitting undershirt that has enough room in the shoulders to not ride up. Tired of the baggy undershirts big enough for my shoulders, but too much material at the waist. I wear them everyday under dress shirts. Thanks.

Good luck with that. Undershirts seem to be the worst. Looked for "ribbed" - that's the only thing I've seen that is tapered around the waist....either way they always seem either too long or something...

I'm 6'5 240 and never can find a tapper in an undershirt. To get something large enough my waist ends up swimming it it. I can get wife beaters that fit well but I'm always looking for a T, any ideas?

I usually just buy a size too small...works out in alot of cases....

for XL and up though, they make that shit fat as hell....understandable I guess...their target market isn't bodybuilders, it's fat guys.....

The Hanes "wife beaters" that are ribbed are the best for me.

50" chest 36" waist.

2xist square cut tanks,like the kind 50 wears . They fit really good and look good when you only have them on.

What about taking them to a tailor?

Otherwise I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't a whole speciality clothing market out there that needs to be catered to ...

Anybody have experience with any of the Calvin Klien stuff that has either Lycra or Elasthane in them. They look like they might be the ticket.

I dont know about the square cut ones, but the regular 2xist tanks and tshirts fit me pretty good and I have wide wide shoulders and a tiny waist.

Maybe the Aussi bros will comment on this. There is a brand there called Chesty Bonds that is perfect for bodybuilders.

I just ordered a Calvin Klein Pro Stretch (95% cotton and 5% Lycra). I will let everyone know how it goes. I also looked into George's Bond. They are at www.bond.com.

CK emailed me and stated that they no longer make that style. So I am looking again......

You mean the CK undershirts?

 

[Lestat]

I like 2xist and Calvin Klein

Update: Got my sample CK Pro-Stretch yesterday. So far, very impressed. Will wash them and see how they are then. This may be the ticket.

Update: This is the ticket guys! Get rid of all those tent like undershirts. CK pro-stretch works.

I too have this problem. I have found that fruit of the loom xk fit me great after thay have need washed and shrunk. A bit tight in the arms but it tapers in and looks pretty good by itself. Its their plain white cotton ones.

 

[JuicedAthletics]

I like the CK and 2xist but I seem to shrink them too often. What I tried and it works is going to Sports Authority and buying the UnderArmour or Russell undershirts. They are plain white, no logos, and they keep me cool all day. I also wear a dress shirt everyday. They seem to be a little more "athletic cut". Im 6'1 220lbs 33 waist. My problem with CK was the the L was a belly shirt and the XL fit me like a pillowcase.. Good luck.
