Best Men's Tees

Nothing beats wearing a favorite pair of blue jeans and a plain white tee shirt.  If you are looking to get rid of your grungy old graying t-shirts that you've been using for lawn mowing, running, and the occassional undershirt, I recommend picking up a fresh premium t-shirt from Costco.  The Kirkland Signature Men's Premium T-shirt is a great shirt, and the quality by far outshines that of the Gap, Old Navy, Hanes, or any of the store brands offered by Target, Walmart or Fred Meyer to name a few.

The Kirkland Signature Premium Tee is 100% Pima Cotton, which is considered to be one of the superior blends of cotton and is extremely durable and absorbent according to WiseGeek.com.  All aspects of these shirts indicate quality from the thread count down to the stitching.  As with most cotton clothing, it is recommended to wash in cold water and dry on low heat in order to increase the overall life and reduce the harsh wear caused by the washing cycle.  The shirts at Costco run approximately $12 each, which is about 3 times the cost of your Hanes shirt at Walmart, though I say after buying many Hanes tees, you get what you pay for.

To reduce your cost, locate a liquidation center that specializes in obtaining returned items or items that are unsold at Costco warehouses.  In Spokane, you will find Spokane Discount, where you can purchase the Kirkland Tees for up to 70-80% off the listed price, bringing your total each shirt closer to $3-4, which for the quality is a great deal.  Be careful when searching through that you don't pick up an item that is permanently stained or has a hole, which can happen in the large quantity of liquidated products.

All-in-all, the Kirkland Signature Premium T-shirt is a great product that is highly recommended.  A follow up will be written after a few months to address the overall wear and any discoloration that may be seen, in order to provide additional information to the reader on the lasting quality of the product.

    I have been using Kirkland Signature t-shirts for years. One thing to consider it the thickness of the shirt. If you are just wearing the t-shirt you are good to go. My problem is I am always hot and if I wear a Costco t-shirt under a dress shirt I sweat like a pig. I only wear my Costco t-shirts in the winter as they are thick and warm and still look good after 3 years of use.

    1. I agree after wearing them for a couple of weeks. They are thicker and are great to wear standalone, but as an undershirt during the warmer months, it could be way too hot!

  3. Concur that this is an excellent shirt for the money--far superior to Lands End and many other competitors. It is not an undershirt, but a true t-shirt meant to be worn solo. Also cut well, in that it is not too baggy. I am a 42L and the medium fits just about perfect.

  4. I wore Stafford JCP for years. The quality went to hell around 2000.
    Kirkland is the real deal. Perfect neck and material thickness.
    Can't find Large Size on web site.
