DAVID ARCHY Men Undershirt

Finding good form-fitting shirts is a nightmare! They're either woefully expensive or they aren't made of the right materials (a cotton shirt isn't form-fitting, it's just tight). I've been rocking a men's shirt from REGNA for the past years and would have bought more of theirs if they still manufactured it. So instead I had to find a new brand, and I stumbled onto David Archy. The investment price was a little high but I took the leap a month or two ago. These have a completely different feel to other form-fitting shirts I've worn. These are much "softer" and stretchier. It took me a while to get used to the sensation. The good thing is that they vent your skin a lot better. I've found that I sweat less egregiously while wearing this shirt which is great as I have poor temperature regulation and tolerance. If you wear this as a primary shirt, you will have to regularly "pull it down" just for ease of mind, but it typically fits well and should stand up to the rigors of physical exertion. The v-neck is also modest. Other shirts often have really deep v-necks that put all of your chest hair on display. These are more reserved and presentable. The sleeves are admittedly really short, at least on me. Not a huge deal.

Fit so great, super soft- best tees I have ever worn- even better than Tommy John’s

I have been wearing Calvin Klein’s micro modal v-neck and crew neck t-shirts for years as both undershirts and casual lounging shirts / pajama shirts, and was willing to pay the premium price tag because I was never able to find anything better; they’re soft, fit nicely and have just the right amount of stretch. And then I decided to go out on a limb and try these David Archy v-necks, fully expecting to regret the decision and deal with the annoyance of returning them but figured it was worth the risk given the significantly lower price point. I’m glad I took the risk. Much to my surprise, I found the David Archy product to be superior in every respect notwithstanding the lower price. Specifically: (1) The David Archy shirts stay feeling softer / newer for longer thank the CK shirts, which seem to loose some of their ultra comfortable feel after a few weeks of wear. (2) The shirts feel slightly thicker and higher quality than their CK counterparts and as a result are more durable through numerous wash cycles. Not only does the fabric itself hold up better but the whites stay whiter and blacks stay blacker longer. (3) They don’t have any annoying tags sewn into the inside of the shirt that wind up being scratchy against your skin. (4) The “v” in the v-neck generally holds up better than the CK version, which seems to get a big crinkly and not as crisp after a few washes. (5) I find that the shirts just generally drape better over my body (athletic build) than the CK shirts. In my view, the only drawback of these David Archy shirts is that they only come in a v-neck version (at least at the time of this review); I wish they also made a crew neck version. If you’ve got a drawer full of CK micro modal t-shirts like I once had and are considering taking a chance on this David Archy product as an alternative, I’d strongly encourage you to do so. You won’t be disappointed. Never mind the lower price — it is simply a superior product.

These are very nice micromodal undershirts with a noticeably more tapered fit than most alternatives. They sit closer to the body, which works well under dress shirts and avoids excess fabric bunching. The material is soft, lightweight, and performs well in terms of comfort and moisture handling. Overall, they feel like a premium product. The reason for the 4/5 rating is value. There are other micromodal options available at less than half the price that come very close in terms of performance and feel. If you prioritize fit and are willing to pay a bit more, these are a strong choice. But from a pure value perspective, there are comparable alternatives.

Awesome undershirts! Incredibly comfortable and no micro plastics.
