Let’s face it, there’s not a lot to get excited about when it comes to undershirts. Doing so would be like that Navin Johnson character in The Jerk, who jumps up and down, leaping and skipping for joy the “new phone books are here! The new phone books are here!”
What does one say about an undershirt? Granted, my enthusiasm is governed by my sense of sanity, tact and social grace. However, I’m wearing a pretty luxurious undershirt right now. It’s custom fit, it’s soft, it’s lightweight.
Here’s what the company has to say (in bullet points):
- Extra deep V-neck
- Ultra-light fabric
- Anatomic design
- Shoulder seamless
- 100% Pima cotton
- Invisible
- Unfelt
- Adjusted to button shirt
I love me a deep v-neck. When I wear an undershirt, I do NOT want it to be seen around my neck. That’s just me. So, v-necks are my top choice and, if you’re gonna go v-neck, you might as well go deep. The highlight for me on this shirt is the seamless shoulders. You can see how the arm seams are sewn at hard angles from the neck, going straight from the front to the armpits. This is fashionable, even though it’s underneath. It’s quite the deviation from the typical centered seam right over the shoulder blades that meet the arm sleeves. The lightweight and soft feel is a close #2 and #3 favorite factors for me. My only concern would be, “Can I afford to own a few of these?” I’m guessing these don’t come cheap. Quality? Yes. Value? Quality is value in a lot of ways. Are you getting what you’re paying for? Yes. Would I spend more than $10 on an undershirt? Probably never. But I’m frugal. That’s why they call me “Whiskers.” They’re sold in soft little bags with drawstrings. The packaging is excellent.
