The j crew version is nice but too thick for layering in summer: great shape and neckline and holds up to washing

That looks great! Is this a good option for a white tee to be worn on its own without being too sheer yet breathable for summer?

I don't have a white one but the ones I do have (navy and black) are a nice weight, so they're not sheer at all.

Gap has stopped making it's "perfect tee!!!" And it was! Fit slim but not tight, 100% cotton, good neckline... I am desperately in need of some new teeshirts. They need, as above to be 100% or near 100% cotton. Can be 3/4 or long sleeved. Good neckline and nice fit, not shleppy; able to be worn with a shabbos skirt or to work. And not too expensive.

In the jewish stores you will find Should be able to find the T-shirt called - 24/7. Well priced an made in many different colors

I just bought a bunch of the gap featherlight t's as my stash of 5+ year old perfect t's that I have worn every single day since I bought them were getting threadbare. I was pretty disappointed by how thin and flimsy they felt but now that I have worn one, put it through the wash, and wore it a second time, it actually felt really nice and somehow more substantial that second time. Perhaps it shrunk a bit and became more compact? Anyway, I am really happy with them and glad I bought a bunch and not just one.

Just wanted to update for those following this thread. The J Crew tee didn't work out for me. The white was see through and the sizing is way way narrow.
If you're looking for another color and willing to go up a few sizes it's a pretty good tee.

OP here. I also have an update. I ordered the Gap "modern tee." It's WAY too long (even in a petite) and WAY too heavy. Almost like a lightweight sweater or sweatshirt. The search continues.

How was the neckline and sizing? Maybe it would be good in white if it's cotton.

I remember their tees usually run big. This one runs small?

R_a, the neckline was good. It's pretty true to size. Also, I actually am fairly petite 5'2. If you are a few inches taller, you could order the petite and probably it would be the right length.

Gap also discontinued their Purebody tees and tanks, which I've lived in for years. I wear them under everything because I have sensory issues with a lot of fabrics. I usually replace them once or twice a year because they get stained/worn out/small holes, which I need to do now, but no clue what I'm going to buy instead. I'm hoping if I can hold out for another season, they'll bring them back. There's been a lot of comments on the site of ppl who feel like I do.

Thanks! I don't mind hemming a tee.

I know, I'm going crazy. I have like 5 of the light gray that I stocked up on a few years ago. But the charcoal is frayed beyond repair. Hoping the j crew one will work out for me.

A friend of mine buys the j crew but orders a few different sizes to try and returns the rest.

Me too! My light greys are still ok but my blacks are dying.

Go to ebay and type in women's long sleeve te e. There are tons of super cheap options that look perfect.
