Recommendation high-quality T-Shirts

Hi folks

I would be happy if someone could give me a recommendation for (high-) quality T-Shirts they are not 'slim fit' and not too long. I want to wear them open / untucked (overt the pants) together with Jeans and Leather Jackets.
Monochrome colors like white, gray, black without print.

Background to my question: 20 years ago, I was able to buy high-quality i.e. Levi's T-Shirts that lasted 10 years or more and still looked good after countless washes. They did not deform or lose size, and the fabric looked great for years.
Today I can no longer find this quality.

Thank you!

Best regards
Roman

Whitesville (made by Sugar Cane) and Mister Freedom B-Stock Stanley tees are relatively short. My multiple-washed whitesville tee in Large measures 22" length. MF B-Stock Stanley in Medium (new) is listed with 24" length.

Its my opinion that high end high shirts and specifically T-shirts are a waste of money 99% of the time.. ive had a bunch from a lot of the well known brands and can say that a random shirt from Target, Uniqlo or just a plain white T is just as good and often more wearable than stuff for $100

that said I heard some good things about Wonder Looper recently..

I'd second the Wonder Looper & Whitesville recommendations - another one I've tried that I haven't seen mentioned is Lady White Co. Starts out with a fairly crisp hand.

Edit: Also a fan of the UES No. 8 Slub Nep for something with a bit of texture / heft that still breathes quite well.

I bought a t-shirt from The Flathead and it’s really nice quality and fits well. I also have one from Freenote and it’s great too.

Does anyone have any experience with Bronson MFG shirts? I’ve been curious, and they’re much more affordable.
