Introduction

This is without a doubt the heaviest t-shirt in the world. This is the only one in the world. This is a one of one prototype from the brand Wonder Looper.

At one point in your life you probably thought, “I’m going to buy a nice t-shirt, which one should I get?” The internet recommended about 15 of them, and today we’re going over those 15.

Instead of saying what’s best and worst depending on who you are, superlatives are given to the different t-shirts.

What the Topic Means

The video goes over different t-shirts that were recommended on the internet and looks at their price, fit, softness, construction, collars, materials, weight, shrinkage, and overall qualities.

Four of these shirts were given for free, and they were not included in the final ranking because everything being talked about was paid for except those shirts.

About $420 was spent on the shirts.

Main Points

Kirkland Six-Pack

The Kirkland six-pack goes for $25. It is quite long, so you always have to tuck it in.

For $4.20, it is a fantastic t-shirt. It is incredibly soft, the fit is good, and it is not too tight on the sleeves. The collar withstands the microphone test.

The collar is constructed with sewing, making it tough and durable. It does not wiggle and bend. It still has a good look and a nice tight neckline.

Kirkland shrink test: 4% in width and 2% in length.

Uniqlo Heavyweight Crew Neck

This is a heavyweight, coarse-feeling t-shirt with a bound collar with ribbing.

The fit is really good. If you’re looking for the best bargain t-shirt, this may be it.

Uniqlo Supima Cotton T-Shirt

Supima cotton is extra-long-staple cotton fiber. Some cotton fibers are shorter while others are longer. The benefit of being long is that it is soft, silky, durable, and feels really nice and premium.

The collar does sag because it is not a bound collar and ribbing.

If you want a Supima t-shirt for under 30 bucks, this is one of the best shirts that you can get.

Uniqlo 1 shrink test: 2.3% in width and 2% in length.

Uniqlo 2 shrink test: 2.5% in width and 2% in length.

Whitesville

This is from a Japanese company that is riffing on Old Americana underwear. The shirt is cut like vintage t-shirts were, which is to be underwear.

It is one of the softest t-shirts on the list and feels great for the price.

The collar uses a type of construction with tape and binding tape over the collar, allowing it not to stretch a lot over time and helping it hold its shape.

Whitesville shrink test: 5.4% in width and 3% in length.

Vishine

Vishine has the same idea as Whitesville but with very different execution.

Whitesville is very soft and fluffy and has a plush feeling, while Vishine has sleeves that are a little bit longer.

Vishine is doing the same thing and is more authentic. Vishine was a company in Cincinnati in the 1930s. They went out of business, a Japanese company bought them, and basically said, “make it again.”

The shirt is made how things used to be made in the ’40s. It feels like an underwear shirt and has an old-viby aesthetic look.

Vishine shrink test: 2.3% in width and 0% in length.

Asket

The knit is called compact. It is so compact that it does not feel like a knit product. It feels like you’re running your hands down glass.

This is an unbelievably cool shirt.

Asket shrink test: 0% in width and 0% in length, pre-washed.

Buck Mason Y Hemp

The Buck Mason t-shirt was picked specifically because of its blend. It is partially hemp.

Hemp is described as super eco-friendly, growing super fast, being much stronger than cotton, and having cooling properties like linen.

The material does not stretch over the head as easily and wrinkles a little bit easier. It is expected to hold up for a very long time.

Buck Mason Y Hemp shrink test: 2.5% in width and 1% in length.

Dehen 1920

Dehen 1920 is one of the favorite U.S. brands.

The t-shirts and graphics are liked, although the collar would be preferred as a ribbed collar at $58.

It is a mediumweight t-shirt with a blind stitch hem on the shoulders.

Dehen 1920: 0% shrink, pre-washed.

A New Medium / Iron Shop Provisions

This is a loop-wheeled t-shirt. It is made very slowly and has some nice subtle texture.

It is very plush and soft, feels heavy, fits great, and is from Iron Shop Provisions.

The shirt was received for free, so it could not be put in the ranking.

It is described as a quality t-shirt and might be the most affordable loop wheel t-shirt out there.

The Real McCoys

In the niche of nerdy Japanese overclothing, The Real McCoys is described as top dog level.

The fabric is dense but not silky smooth. It has a little coarse texture and feels very dense and almost tough to bend.

The collar passes the SAG test and has diagonal ribbing.

The Real McCoys shrink test: 2.5% in width and 2% in length.

MSB 215 / Wonder Looper

This is the Bear shirt, associated with Jeremy Allen White.

The shirt falls in the middle among the loop wheel shirts discussed.

The heaviest loop wheel shirt is dramatically softer than this. This shirt is pretty rough and feels like an old-school t-shirt. It is flowy and smooth, but not compared to Ultimate Pima from Wonder Looper.

It is a middleweight shirt with more of a classic dry shirt feel.

There is a triangle gusset under both sleeves so you can move your arm easier and have more range of motion with a tighter sleeve.

MSB 215 shrink test: 3% in length and 5% in width.

Lady White

Lady White is described as one of the greatest t-shirt brands and one of the greatest knitwear brands.

The shirt shown is a size small with a funky mesh fabric.

Lady White shrink test: 0% shrink.

Wonder Looper Fox Fiber

Fox Fiber is naturally colored cotton. It is not dyed, is organic cotton, all-natural, pesticide-free, fire-resistant when being grown, and disease-resistant.

Sally Fox is described as a cotton pioneer and a legend in the cotton world because colored cotton was such a short-staple cotton that it was very difficult to spin it into yarns and make it into t-shirts.

She made it possible to make it into shirts, fibers, and wovens.

Wonder Looper Fox Fiber shrink test: 7.69% in width and 6% in length.

Wonder Looper Ultimate Pima

Ultimate Pima is organic cotton. 1% of the cotton in the world is Ultimate Pima, with 11 tons only per year.

It takes about a year to make these shirts because the fabric is so hard to get.

It feels like a mix between The Real McCoys, Asket, and Supima. It is not perfectly glass but has little ridges that can be felt, while also being super soft.

Wonder Looper Triple Heavyweight

This is the heaviest t-shirt.

It is far heavier than a Champion Reverse Weave and is 69% heavier.

It is described as an absolute tank. If you want an indestructible t-shirt, you get this one.
