Men’s T-shirts are among the most frequently worn items of everyday clothing. They are worn under shirts, used for sport, packed for travel or worn as an easy-going top. Even so, certain common buying decisions can quickly lead to unnecessary expense.
“Cotton” alone says little about comfort or durability. Other important factors include the cotton content, the fabric construction and the fabric weight in grams per square metre (GSM). A very lightweight cotton T-shirt may feel pleasantly light, but it could lose its shape more quickly or be more see-through.
Blended fabrics should not be judged too generally either. Cotton blended with elastane can offer greater freedom of movement, while viscose changes the way the fabric drapes. For sport and hot days, moisture-managing performance materials are often more practical than pure cotton men’s T-shirts.
Sizes vary between brands, cuts and countries. An L-sized T-shirt will not automatically fit the same way from every supplier. Always check the chest measurement, shoulder width and overall length in the size chart. With plus-size T-shirts, it is also important to check whether the additional width comes with a suitable length.
If you wear the T-shirt as underwear, a closer fit is often preferable. For casual clothing or layering under a jacket, a straight or looser cut may feel more comfortable.
T-shirts in 2-packs or 5-packs can reduce the price per item and make laundry planning easier. However, a multipack is most worthwhile when the colour, cut and material suit your everyday needs. If you are only looking for one particular model for sport, a single performance shirt may be the better choice.
For everyday wear and underwear, 100% cotton or cotton blends are common options. Cotton is often chosen for its natural feel and softness against the skin. With a blend of 95% GOTS-certified organic cotton and 5% elastane, as used in the JBS model, you also get stretch and a more adaptable fit.
The abbreviation GOTS stands for the Global Organic Textile Standard. It covers defined requirements for processing certified organic fibres, as well as environmental and social criteria throughout the supply chain. The specific certification should always be clearly stated and verifiable in the product information.
Terms such as “antibacterial” or “waterproof” should be considered alongside the specific material and care information. They are not medical claims and do not automatically guarantee a particular level of comfort.
Depending on the model, the selected products state that they can be machine-washed at 30 °C. Always follow the sewn-in care label. Air-drying can reduce energy consumption compared with using a tumble dryer and limit stress on the material. With performance shirts, fabric softeners or high temperatures may affect the material’s properties if the manufacturer advises against them.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Close-fitting crew-neck or V-neck models with flat seams and a comfortable fabric against the skin are usually suitable as men’s undershirts. A V-neck may be less visible under a shirt. White men’s T-shirts are a common choice under light-coloured clothing, while black men’s T-shirts may be more practical under dark clothing.
This depends on how often you do laundry, your job and how frequently you exercise. For everyday wear, a small core collection of individual T-shirts or a 5-pack may be practical. If you train or travel regularly, you should also have separate breathable sports shirts or performance shirts, so that everyday and sports clothing do not have to serve the same purpose.
There is no reliable way to give a fixed lifespan. It depends on the fabric weight, construction, washing temperature, drying method and frequency of use. Loss of shape, stretched necklines, thinning areas or permanent discolouration are practical signs that it is time for a replacement. Following the care instructions, particularly washing at the recommended temperature and air-drying, can reduce stress on the material.
