Guyism: The Search for the Perfect Undershirt Unearths RibbedTee

4th Apr 2011

Guyism.com Style Editor Gabe Alonso is old school. He liked his Hanes (like the ones his grandfather wore) and was skeptical he would be happy and willing to buy something higher-end, like RibbedTee undershirts. Boy, was he wrong:

"To be perfectly honest, I was a little skeptical about their products. I’m old school, I like my hanes t-shirts. They’re cheap, disposable, and what my grandfather used to wear. Never really thought I could buy a “high-end” undershirt. Well, I was definitely proven wrong."

"I don’t know about you, but one of the biggest issues I have with my undershirts is that they tend to get untucked. This creates a bulge of extra fabric at my midsection and makes it look like my button-up shirt fits worse than it does. The longer cut of the RibbedTees coupled with their slimmer cut, makes it feel like I’m almost wearing a second skin. There’s no untucking, no extra fabric, just clean lines."

"I can’t wait to rock these every day in the summer, when I’m walking around the streets of NYC in the stifling heat. I won’t think twice anymore about wearing that second layer in order to help wick away sweat."
