Thursday, February 25th, 2010Ribbed Tees Review
Monday, February 22nd, 2010Ribbed Tee sent along a couple shirts for me to try out. I received the grey, v-neck undershirt and the white, crew-neck undershirt. It’s hard to review an undershirt, but I’ve long been unhappy with what’s available, so I’m very happy to see someone take on developing something more form fitting.
I have a long torso and like to wear my pants with a little room in the waste (it’s all the rap I grew up listening to), so my shirts rarely stay tucked in. The Ribbed Tee(s) are longer than a traditional shirt, so I was able to keep them tucked in quite easily.
The ribbed fabric keeps the shirt from bunching up under a button-front shirt and keeps you conscious of sucking in your gut. The necks on both are a bit too big for my liking – I prefer a tighter neck.
Give them a try if you’re as fickle about the fit of your clothes as I am.
I’ll end with pointing out the RIPT FUSION, ”a body-sculpting undershirt designed to support your core, shave inches off your midsection and enhance your posture”.
I want.
