WHITE TEE UPDATE:
So after months of research and experimentation, Ive become a "white tee connoisseur", let me hip you to what I know:
The best white tees out there are AAAs, DR Dreams and Nonas... but all for different reasons, peep.
The AAAs are by far the cheapest, 3 for 11 bucks. Nice neck, decent length, and you can get them in tall sizes too. The thing is these mutha fuckas shrink even when you hang dry. Put em in the dryer and you could forget about it. And after a couple washings the neck is threw. The good thing about these is if you need to cop a clean white tee real quick on your way out to somewhere, it aint nothin to throw 11 bucks on 3 of them and put that shit on in your car, very crispy right off the shelf, and its not a big deal if you get all shitfaced and spill brew on these throwaways.
Now the DR DREAMS are real nice. Quality thickness in the cotton. Length is a little bit longer than the AAAs, but not by much. A little looser in the chest and gut region too. The neck is tight and thick. Basically its an overall good white tee. There is some lightweight shrinkage after hang drying, but its barley noticeable. Haven't tried machine drying though. The only drawback is even though the neck is nice and tight, after a few washings it gets a little stretched out. It doesnt look too bad, but the elasticity of the neck gets kinda baggy...kinda like a sock that cant stay up when the elastic wears out. And at 6 bucks a pop, theyre still cheap, but not nearly as disposable as the AAAs
Now for the NONAS...the neck is the selling point. SUPER FUCKING TIGHT NECK! And thick! It might be a little too snug for some, but for me thats the shit i been looking for. They have about the same minimal shrinkage as the DR Dreams, and nearly the same length. A bit more snug in the gut than the Dreams but barley noticable. These would be the perfect White Tee...except for one thing: The sleeves are not in proportion to the rest of the shirt. The sleeves are a bit too wide for my liking. I got a 2XL and it seems like I could fit 2 more of my arms in there. The sleeves get kinda bunched up if your wearing, say, a polo shirt over it. Otherwise, this is an awesome white tee. The necks on these Nonas have not stretched out at all after multiple washings, and for a big headed mutha fucka like me, this is a major plus! Six bucks also!
So where can one buy these shirts? Well I only conducted my research the East Bay, so:
AAAs & DR Dreams can be found at Generation X, off Washington in San Leandro in the Greenhouse shopping center... multiple colors available in both brands, talls and long sleeves available in DR Dreams
Nonas can be found at Foot Express in Hayward off of Santa Clara Rd in the Luckys shopping center. Also peep out their sick ass clothing selection as well as their Jordans and Dunks!
...i hope this was insightful and informative.
