Thanks!

Those look to be my style, because I like the sleeves are normal length, and not riding up my shoulders.

Buy them you'll not be sorry!! For the money the quality you get make them a steal!!

These sell fast so if you miss your size wait a bit then check back for a new shipment from Pakistan.

You might also try Target's Merona brand. I have the same fit issues you do and needed a couple cheap tees for a weekend beach getaway. I have no idea how well they'll last, but I loved the fit of the Meronas.

I have generally had pretty good luck with Merona stuff over the years (womens). I was crushed a few months ago when my sweater I bought in 2004 had a hole in it. I think I spent $10 on clearance for it.

I like the brand "Cn2", for T-shirts, and tank shirts, they seem to fit me well.

there is a website called "freshpair.com", they have every make of underware ever made. I get everything from them.

I had a similar problem to yours, until I found the right fit. I wear a hanes tagless v neck, the come in colors, I am 6 ' and 200 lbs, with a small gut, but medium build. I always used to buy the xl, as to hide my heavier times, but always felt sloppy as heck. It was worse with button down formal shirts, as I have a 19 collar, but a size 17 fit.

I always found a good fit with Russel, hanes, polo classic fit, lucky brand,nike dri fit, but you are on to something. this new athletic fit is for a skinny athlete. Some of this clothes fits like Juniors or something.

do realize, some clothes makers of "youth, younger" clothing do make their clothes for a lighter crowd.

I agree, just ordered 6 of their pocket tees online at under $5 each. They are the only brand I have found that actually fit with some room to move.

The SS t-shirts seem to all be made to fit anorexic hipsters. I try on my size, and the sleeves barely cover my shoulder. I try the next size, and it's still tight in the chest but hangs below my butt. I like shirts to come within a few inches of my elbow.

I'm not a big guy. I'm 5'9 and 160 with a fit frame and larger than average shoulders and chest.

The long-sleeve shirts are either huge or slim.

Anyone else have these problems, or know where to buy normal shirts?

I choose "classic fit" shirts to avoid this.

Jeez... it's must be the day to drag out years old threads. So many today.
