where do y'all buy *quality t shirts online? doesn't matter if local or overseas - just not the $100-200 ones that seem to flood the kathmandu and macpacs - and then you touch and feel them and they are identical to the $15 cotton on and $5 kmart ones!

ideally under $30NZD ... but with cool designs, long sleeve etc. otherwise yeah i could get the cotton on ones - got a few already

I heard US / UK stores are cheapest but I can't find any in my searches.

Would be good to hear from peeps

*thick and holds their shape

*not the ones that look like cotton but feel a bit polyester when you touch them

I often buy from the US via Amazon or from Lands End.

Depends on your definition of quality I guess. Rod and Gunn have a t-shirt sale on at $29 a pop.

Geeks don't pay for t-shirts, ever. They go to cons and get given them for free.

Turn in your geek card at the booth over there.

Global Culture do good quality t's & have some pretty neat designs (if that's the kind of thing you wanted?).

They have a few stores around the country - but online too:-

Dunno about online, but generally speaking T-shirts in the USA, even the cheap ones, are better quality than NZ ones.

Beware shipping costs from the USA can be as much as the shirt. :(

all my tshirts from https://www.threadless.com/ for the past 6 years. however, they started to charge premium for better quality. I usually wait for $10-20 sale for all t-shirts

https://www.mrvintage.co.nz/ have nice quality t-shirts, thick and long lasting. Don't buy black in summer, they're significantly warmer than their gray / white ones.

Thanks all

I did try sports direct but their shipping cost for a product is the same as the product so in the end they're not cheap though i would buy something if needed

I use https://blanktees.co.nz/ - I just loaded up on a batch of Gildan's which are pretty good. My preference is for Hanes Beefy T but these are difficult to find in NZ. I find the necks collars of the AS Colours went turkey far too quickly.

Wakrak:

Have heard good things about As Colour but have yet to try them myself

I've had incredibly bad luck with these. Maybe it's just that I wear AS t-shirt very frequently and/or wash them very frequently but they do wear out quite quickly. I throw out a few each year due to holes, yet I have cheapo ones from other brands (or off-brand ones even) that have lasted so long I eventually have to put them in the charity bins as I can't bear to throw away perfectly good (i.e. hole-less) shirts. However like you, I have heard lots of good things about AS and friends (including those in the business of designing T-Shirts etc) swear by AS. YMMV I guess.
