So not quite fashion but didn't know where to place this.
My 14 year old outgrew his wee muffin xl sleeveless undershirts. Like really outgrew. It's tiny on him and extremely stretched. Their biggest size is xxl which will definitely be too small.
I ordered a men's small fruit of the loom ribbed undershirt. It's extremely narrow and very long. He literally couldn't get it over his body. I doubt a bigger size would help as it was way too long as it is.
He's not husky but not skinny slim.
What brand makes a normal stretchy fabric that's not too slim? He loved the feel and stretch of the wee muffin.
Any recommendations?

My son likes boys Fruit of the Loom. He’s 17, about 5’5” and 125 lbs or so. He wears XL. Check out their size chart and see what works for you. They’re not tight fitting.

Is it stretchy? Do you think the boys size run wider than the men's?

Sleeveless undershirts are not “in” anymore

Who sees them?!
What are the other options?
That's what my son wants. He doesn't want the short sleeve ones.

Yes, most boys now wear the short sleeves, from what I hear

He gets hot quickly, he doesn't want it.

Who cares if it's not "in" or other boys wear something different?

I've heard good things about Hanes and Fruit of the Loom, I'm pretty sure Hanes is stretchy

The Jack & Jill brand goes up to size 20 children's and they have men's sizes as well. They're flat, not ribbed knit. Excellent quality.

Too expensive. I don't want to deal with washing tzitzis strings.

Jockey only has men's. And it looks like the same ribbed one as Fruit of the Loom for double the price.
Thanks anyway.

Ordered the Jack and Jill (I probably overpaid because it's Amazon, but hey free returns!)

Wow! I dont have a teenage son yet, seem to be tough. Getting 17 responses where to get an undershirt. I thought teenage girls were the hard ones? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
