Finding high-quality t-shirts that you can buy in bulk can be a bit of a pain. There are plenty of options out there that'll either shrink when washing or simply deteriorate after a handful of uses. Thankfully, there are also a number of excellent manufacturers out there making affordable, premium t-shirts, one of which is Fruit of the Loom. If you're on the hunt for a batch of t-shirts, then let's take a look at their 10 best options.

original t
The original t-shirt is a classic option, sporting a crew neck and short sleeves. It's made from 100% cotton, making it a comfortable option to wear next to the skin, and it has a fine knit gauge, which means the fabric feels great and will support a wide range of different printing techniques. It comes in a wide variety of different colours, from olive green to royal blue - the coloured t-shirts have a weight of 145gsm, while the white option is a little lighter, at 140gsm.

value T-shirt
While the term 'value' t-shirt might make you think it's lower quality, that's not the case at all. The t-shirt itself is 100% cotton, although some of the colours are 50% cotton and 50% polyester; if you really want a cotton t-shirt, it's important to check which colour you're getting. The weight is slightly heavier than the original, at 160 to 165gsm, and the taped neck and tubular body really lend it a great cut.

LADY FIT VALUE T-SHIRT
For a t-shirt to look good, it needs to fit well, and the standard t-shirt shape can look very 'boxy' on a lot of bodies. The Lady Fit Value T-shirt is made from 100% cotton at a weight of between 160-165gsm, depending on if you get a white or coloured option, and the longer body length has more of a shape to it. This means it shouldn't hang as loosely on women's bodies, making it look more intentionally well-made.

ICONIC 150 T-SHIRT
Now, not all cotton is of the same quality, and for some uses, you'll want something that's just slightly nicer than your normal options. The Iconic 150 t-shirt is made from 100% ringpun combed cotton, making it incredibly soft to the touch. It has a slim, fashionable fit that looks good on a wide range of different bodies, and comes in at a weight of between 140 to 150gsm, depending on which colour you get.

ICONIC 195 PREMIUM T-SHIRT
Except in the heat of summer, most people prefer the feel of a heavier weave of cotton. It just feels better against your skin, and it lasts longer! The Iconic 195 Premium is made from a heavier blend than the 150, weighing in at between 190-195gsm. It's made from that same, high-quality ringspun combed cotton, giving it a softness that really makes the t-shirt feel great against the skin. This would be a great option in many situations, but perhaps especially if the t-shirt is going to get a lot of heavy usage. 

SUPER PREMIUM T-SHIRT
For those who want an even thicker fabric than the Iconic 195, the Super Premium might be just the right option. It comes in at a slightly heavier, 205gsm for coloured fabric and 190gsm for white, and again, it's made from 100% cotton. It's designed to withstand heavy usage, making it a good option for workwear. With shoulder-to-shoulder taping, it also holds its shape well and shouldn't just drape like some other thick t-shirts are prone to doing.

CONTRAST RINGER T-SHIRT
While all the t-shirts we've looked at so far have been a single, uniform colour, this option mixes things up a little bit. It features a ribbed collar and cuffs in a contrasting colour to that of the torso, a combination that can work well when integrated into a printed design. It might not be appropriate for all use, but it can be a nice, subtle way of adding a little aesthetic variation. It's also made from 100% cotton and comes in at a solid 160gsm for white, and 165gsm for colours.

ORIGINAL V-NECK T-SHIRT
V-necks can be another nice way of adding a bit of variety to your choice of t-shirt. This great option has a ribbed v-neckline and is made from high-quality 100% cotton. It's a light fabric, at between 140-145gsm, depending on the colour, and can be worn all year round in suitable environments.

LADIES ICONIC 195 PREMIUM T-SHIRT
There's no point getting a high-quality, well-made t-shirt if it isn't going to fit the end user well. The Ladies Iconic 195 Premium t-shirt is a great solution for women, with shaped side seams that lend the garment a perfect feminine fit. It comes in a wide range of sizes, from XS to XXL, meaning that it should fit bodies of all shapes and sizes. The t-shirt comes in a good range of different colours, and we're sure you'll be able to find an option that suits your organisation to a T.

KIDS ORIGINAL T-SHIRT
Last but definitely not least, if you're going to be buying for kids, you need to get a high-quality kids option. This t-shirt is made to the same high standards as the men's original T-shirt, but is available in a variety of age-range-based sizes, from 3-4 years to 14-15 years. Obviously, all kids grow at different speeds, so you'll need to take the accuracy of the sizes with a pinch of salt. Made from high-quality cotton, the t-shirt should remain comfortable and durable for a long time to come.

As is clear from the list of t-shirts above, there are plenty of different options to choose between depending on what it is you're looking for. It's important to think about what the wearer will appreciate, how well the t-shirt might represent your brand, and how long it will last when used in a specific environment. Based on these factors, you should be able to come up with a perfect solution to your needs.
