Best-fitting t-shirt necks?

[jack miranda]

When I was a teen-ager back in the Paleozoic, the best-fitting, i.e., non-sagging t-shirts were Penny's Towncraft. Long since gone. Any thoughts on t-shirts with a close-fitting neck that don't sag like a hound's jowls after a few washes? Gibbs on NCIS has great t-shirts, by way of a reference.

I got some decent undershirts from Marks & Spencers, though I would prefer the neck a little more close-fitting. Still, they haven't pulled out of shape and the fabric's very good.

I go through t-shirts like crazy. I'm 6'4" so shrinkage is my problem most of the time. I wash in cold water and hang dry, but eventually they shrink and I have to pass them on down the line.

I have been having good luck with Dickies brand shirts though. They seem to take longer to shrink, and are sturdy enough to take some abuse. They have an elastic neck though...so while it is close-fitting around the neck, some people may not like the feeling and I will admit they don't have a truly vintage look to them (more so because Dickies insists on having a small patch with their logo sewn to the left hand side near the bottom...)

But, when you are as sasquatch'ish as I am you must take what you can get!
