Finding the perfect fitting tee-shirt has become something of an obsession here at The Established Man towers, from the very expensive to the ridiculously affordable we've pounded the pavements, or in this instance, sidewalks, over and over again in hunt of simple tee's, the colour usually black, white or grey, hey it's a basic item after all but the way it fits is of paramount importance. An afternoon of gallery overload checking out the shows in Chelsea yesterday meant that we happened to chance upon an American Apparel on the way home, not difficult in this city as they have become as commonplace as a Duane Reade. But it seemed the ideal opportunity to just check what basics were in and if we might chance upon some sterling buys. What with it about to get cold soon here the rails were jam-packed with jersey and fleece and heavier fabric for those chilly times ahead but we just stocked up on a very basic grey and white v-neck tee, simple and fits like a glove. The ombre 'sunset' t-shirt might be added to our luggage too for the return to London town.
What American Apparel do right is to offer such amazing choice in its range of colours and fit, if we'd wanted to we could have gone for a deep v-neck tee shirt in a vibrant purple or a hooded top with spots on....actually we've got that already. Oooops.
