I'm looking for a recommendation some super soft super comfortable cotton t-shirts. Short and long sleeved would be good. Most t-shirts get pretty soft after a few months or a year or so of regular use, but most are less comfortable to start with.

Here's some I've tried:

Mr Vintage. Pretty good, they still need a couple of months to get really soft
Superdry - quite rough
Cloake (from blanktees.co.nz) - not as good as Mr Vintage
Ice Tee - about the same as Cloake

I'd prefer plain / blank but I'll look at anything. Ideally in NZ / AU for faster delivery, but I can order from anywhere.

As Colour is a good brand. They just opened a retail store in Lambton Quay, the old David Jones store.

I have a couple of those AS colour, some tech companies print logos on and give them out. They're ok but I don't find them particularly soft. I appreciate the suggestion.

I read that "Pima" cotton is meant to be soft and strong. I'm going to look for t-shirts made out of that

The AS Colour T-Shirts, I have got turkey neck pretty quickly. I've found Gildan to offer the best long-term value.

Hallensteins had some earlier this year (I was working in Invercargill and during a break popped in). I find them comfortable, and after a few months of wear, they haven't gone out of shape.

I think it may be these (their cheapest): Organic Crew Neck Basic T Shirt in Char Marl | Hallensteins NZ The label inside the ones I have say Organic, Classic Fit.

Farmers also have a range - Chisel Ultimate Tee - they're also pretty good IMO.

Gildan have a super soft model I'll probably try.

Yes. I have some old Rod and gun t-shirts which were thick and super soft. The ones I tried on a couple of weeks ago were thin and scratchy.

Oh no, don't tell me they have gone down in quality. That's a real shame.

It's a bit sad when that happens - I used to wear a lot of Quiksilver and Billabong surf T's, but they used to be thick and high quality - now not so much. The prices have gone up though.

Marks and Spencer online used to have lovely soft cotton T-Shirts that were a great fit, but I haven't had to order any for quite a long time, so can't vouch for their quality now.
