Looking for those vintage style undershirts?

The ones with three buttons on the front? Like this?

Well I couldn't, atleast for relatively cheap.

Then I found a light 100% cotton pique polo shirt such as this. I glanced on it and it suddenly came to me. An idea!

I bought the shirt, which cost me 50 cents at a thrift store and then I used this handy tool to take out the collar. Don't know what it's called in the Anglo-American world.

Then I asked my girlfriend to sew up the collar seam and I was ready to go! I've got my shirt and for 0,50€!

It's perfect. Light in weight and a perfect under shirt. I recommend this for everyone who wants to look vintage even in their sleep! If you can get someone to sew it for you or can do it yourself you can get off really cheap also!

A thread here on this subject.

John Smedley merino wool ones are the best in my opinion.

Edit: Sorry, I misread this as a 'search for' post. This is a very innovative idea.

It's called a seam ripper.

Ah. I was gonna go with "thread- ripper- outer."

I don't know... there must be an easier way to get these shirts without paying an arm and a leg. Besides I don't think the polo shirts have the wide sleeve ends that the vintage undershirts do. I'm not doubting that your shirt looks great and serves the purpose but isn't there a better option? I started wanting some since LVC issues them a year or so ago... but the price is rediculous.
