@swachter@toot.boston i thought American Apparel was supposed to be ok. Don't know if they are around any more.

@swachter@toot.boston Not cheap but if you search for 'union made tees' you'll find a heap of high quality stuff made in the US. Can vouch for "oh that's _different_" (though that's not the same as soft)

@swachter@toot.boston Little out of my depth here, but whenever I’ve bought a t-shirt with a print on it, I’ve been delighted when I see it has a Canvas label. Quality seems good, and they’ve been very comfy to wear.

@swachter@toot.boston they all make it really hard to pick the high quality variants of their shirts. They don't want to say the cheap ones are really awful, even though they are. Back when I was handling merch I usually used a Gildan fashion fit 100% cotton, maybe it was model 65000? They looked/felt nice and held up well (I still have a few 15+ years later), lots of colors, but I can't vouch for them now. Not super cheap, but not as expensive as some. Something like $4-$5 each in bulk.

@swachter@toot.boston our local ecological print shop uses Stanley/Stella and the stuff I have from them is great, can’t vouch for every model

@swachter@toot.boston it’s been 5+ years, but Gildan via Jiffy was good and soft - https://www.jiffy.com/gildan-G640.html I remember the site had very useful filters
