BEST COTTON TOPS ONLINE?

[ Edited ]

I'm usually pretty good at finding what I want, but not this time.    

 

I wanted a couple cotton V neck sleeveless tops in black and a second color, probably blue.   Just basic wear around the house tops.  You'd think I was asking for the moon!   

 

This all started when I bought this style from Isaac's line and the armholes practically went down to my waist!

 

After QVC, I've been to Macys, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Ross and even Target .... nada.    Actually, I DID find a couple, but with one the armholes were gigantic, and with the other one, the material was just too flimsy.   

 

So .....   shopping experts ......  which online stores have good cotton tops?    It's easy to determine quality when shopping in the B&M stores, but you can't touch the material when shopping online!  

 

Any suggestions?  ....  TIA!  Woman LOL

Lands End has some nice tanks, modestly cut.

Re: BEST COTTON TOPS ONLINE?

I'm with you on this quest, Tink!!   The only one I would recommend...based on experience from years ago, tho, not current...would be Fresh Produce.  If they still have the beefy 100% cotton tees of old in lush, saturated colors, they are fabulous.  I've owned one (wish I had bought more!!) for about 17 years...still wear it...still looks great.  No other tee ever has matched this quality.   I refuse to buy anymore tees that have the word "slub" in the description!!  LOL!

I have to agree with Catlady, hands down landsend are the best t-shirts. The pima cotton ones are awesome. Tons of colors, sign up for email and you will get notice of sales also. Great company. Good luck in your quest.

At the stores you mentioned in your post, go to the mens/boys department & check out v neck sleeveless tees by:

 

Fruit Of The Loom

 

Jockey (best bang for your $$$-3 in a pack)

 

Michael Jordan (he also has a womans line of cotten v neck sleeveless tees)

 

Male tees are made better than tees made just for females.

I love Christopher and  Banks tee's.  I have a few of their sleeveless tops to layer and they are great. I only wear 100% cotton. They fit well and last forever.

 

Right now they are on sale for $9.99 each.  That's a bargain.

 

i have Lands End too, really nice, but more expensive for same quality as CB.

Duluth Trading Co. has several  styles of good quality t-shirts. I don't know if they have exactly what you are lookig for, but it might be worth a look.
