Preferred t-shirt model/brand under jacket

[tweedydon]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned striped sailor shirts for wearing under leather jackets. It's a traditional biker look going back to the '60's: you see it a lot in old biker movies. Armor-lux are my favorites, but St. James are also nice if you get the full-sleeve ones. Also, there are a couple of shops on Etsy that sell Russian military clothing and have them for about $15.00. These are close fitting and would be perfect for wearing under a sweater while bike riding. They look great under a denim shirt as well.

Could you point me to the Etsy stores, please? Thanks!

I also actually prefer 3 or 4 button Henley’s (long and short sleeve) over standard Ts these days.

I have a variety in long and short sleeve but my favourites are from Gustin and recommend them if you can stand the wait.

If this is the style you are looking for (shorter body, sleeves, and wide collar) then you should try Big Hop. I have been wearing this particular shirt for more than a year, and it has been machine washed and dried at least 30 times. It fits exactly the way it did the first time I put it on, and the price is reasonable.

Can I get a link?

Yes and no. It strikes me that one should spend the most on clothing items that one wears the most often. My top quality tuxedo was a complete waste of money and, in retrospect, I should have purchased something far less stellar. In contrast, my top quality sneakers are great investments because I wear them often.

Well the Tuxedo is a bit of a special case, these are used for "special occasions", so most people will spend inordinate amounts of money just for these few occasions (sometimes only one time). I certainly agree with you on the fact that too often too much money gets spent on these types of clothes. This also applies to the whole outfit, so dress shoes included as well as all relevant accessories.

I guess people prefer to spend more on the special occasion over the day to day. It takes quite a bit of experience and thinking to overcome this instinct.

The shop is called "telnyashechka". I think I got it right. They were surprisingly quick and were great to deal with.

Russian paratrooper/naval striped vests are sold on Amazon. Buy a size up- they are underclothes.

Yip, I love them for that purpose, but you do need to go a size up if you want to wear them over anything.

Nice range of stripes available - black, navy, sky blue, red or green.... all correspond to different branches of the Russian armed forces.

£290 for a T-shirt??? That just reinforces my belief that some people have more money than brains. I wouldn't pay that much for a shirt even if I could afford it.
