I don't have a lot of clothes but what I do have I like to last. Can anyone recommend a purveyor of T-shirts etc that last (I've looked at Howies but don't like the designs).

Thanks in advance.

Well the longest lasting I have ever come across are Howies - but I've not found a design I like from them for years now. Still wearing 10 year old ones which are in great nick....

Not tried them but these are organic cotton, not bad price and some fun designs:

Finisterre do stuff of a similar quality to Howies but don't have a great selection of T-shirts at the moment. Or what about Rapanui?

+1 Rapanui, great homegrown business.

Otherwise I just get a pack of three plain organic Ts from American Apparel. Can't go wrong. Unless you're a bit chubby.

Much as I like Last Exit to Nowhere (I have about 10 of them), they're not long lasting....

All I want is some which are -
a) made well.
b) designed to fit the shape of a human, not a marquee tent.
c) come in some nice plain colours.

Wouldn't have thought it was asking too much, but apparently I am.

Finisterre have a discount on at the moment of £10 off anything. The code to use is, ATHANKYOU

I have Finisterre and Howies but prefer Finisterre as Howies are mental with their sizing and the stock accuracy is dubious at best.

If you can hang on a few days my new web store will be open and there will be an introductory offer for the STW dwellers. ^ are both on the product list along with a load of other stuff.
I'm hoping to be open in 1 week.

Glad i'm not the only one. I wish they'd bring back some old designs - if you're listening Howies, the banana 'ready meal' one would be nice.

CaptJon - I suspect we're too old now and no longer fit their target demographic, hence all their T shirt designs just look pants to us. They had loads of great designs in the olden days...

Get on Amazon and search Fruit of The Loom. Loads of different designs and colours. Really well made.

Some can be had for £3-£4

A bit pointless saying but I had a 20% off voucher for chemical records that expired yesterday. 😥 Any other clothing addicts on here?

From their photos I suspect their target demographic is 20 ish, so even at the young age of 30, you're still too old 😉

20 year olds can't afford Howies...

Sold a few old Stussy bits that didn't fit/never wore anymore on ebay a few weeks ago, got £65 for a sweatshirt and £42 for a 'Bhudda blunts and old skool stunts, minus the fronts' tee, wise investments lol. Skate shoes and selvedge jeans are my real weakness though.

There's a good sale on at Addict at the mo, 70% off all last seasons gear, have picked up a few bits but tempted to buy a nice winter coat for £45.

If you want plain quality T shirts then try Sunspel, they are expensive but beautifully made.

Rapha and Abercrombie & Fitch are pretty bombproof if a little pricey. Just bought some Morvelo ones which don't feel great quality tbh but are cheap enough not to matter.

GAP or Phatface.
GAP have some great discounted stuff in their factory outlets, and they last for ages. 😀
