I havent tried the t-shirts specifically, but the stuff ive gotten from quince has been great and held up well. They have great modern basics at great prices.

Asked for aluminum bottom stainless steel insides and sides Farberware as a wedding gift 46 years ago.
We lost a handle on one 8qt pot but otherwise all are going strong. Going strong as in, I have left multiple ones on burners and scorched things, let them boil dry, etc., and they were ugly inside, some for a while and they cleaned back up and some still discolored. #MyBad
My husband cooks a single hamburger in our smallest fry pan. He cooks it at a high heat and kind of burns it onto the pan. He doesn't want to fuss with our heavy cast iron pans. We soak his frypan over night and the burned on black clumps scrap right off in the morning.
I'm tempted to try their non-stick but haven't. I don't really care for non-stick bc of safety concerns but we do use non-stick for scrambled eggs.
Not sure if I am allowed to insert a link but this is the website. https://farberwarecookware.com/collections/stainless-steel-cookware

If you want a tight fit like that, some of Lands End’s supination cotton shirts are fitted. LL Bean are also nice. Eddie Bauer’s fabric hasn’t held up quite as well.

Check out Fair Indigo. Sustainable brand, well made, and don’t pill or fade. The only time I’ve had to buy a new one in the past decade is when I want a new color.

Superdry, Uniqlo and Joules have lasted well for me.

The one I used was eshakti, but if you search custom made dresses you will see others who do the same thing.

Gap Modern Tee(s) have been my standby for ages.
You can also get them in 1/2 or long sleeve, if you want. V-necks, turtleneck, and mockneck, are available at varying times.
Fit might look and seem a little loose, but they do shrink just a bit. They do not run quite as long as your example, but they're not short either unless you get a crop style. Hit at the hip.
They're on sale right now.

This seems like a very simple request but I have been searching SO long for quality shirts similar to this picture. I like the cut of this shirt (higher on the chest, but form fitting, sleeves not too long) but most women's shirts are made with the thinnest and cheapest material, and/or are boxy. Any recommendations? Would just like a few staples.

Reply to comment by allegedlydm in Slim, high-quality leather laptop bag with a zipper? (no buckles) by Fiveby21
The zipper is not a hard requirement, I just don't want it to have belt buckles. The one you linked does.

Love my Nicks. I think they are the Roberts (the taller heel one). They have a much slimmer profile than Wolverines or Red Wing which looked like clown shoes on me. These boots are far and away my most complemented article of clothing.

Thanks :) What were the company called?

Not sure how slim you’re looking for, but this is a medium brown and meets your other requirements except the zipper: (Portland Leather Goods messenger bag). They also have other bags that will fit that laptop but may not hit all your other points - the crossbody comes to mind, and it DOES zip, but may or may not read as more feminine to you.

The US made ones specifically use their highest quality leather, and are manufactured at higher standards.

Yeah got a full Le Creuset set + a 12" US cast iron, should be fine, you're right.

For that price you should get it commissioned

I'm a fan of the Eddie Bauer t-shirts. They're super soft, tagless and they hold their shape pretty well over time. I have uber-sensitive skin and love them.

I'm wearing a fitted black t-shirt exactly like this. It's Everlane's ribbed t-shirt. And I don't usually buy t-shirts that are this price but I bought two on sale and loved them...and they disappeared. Probably in the bottom of my teenage daughter's closet or got snagged by one of her friends...so I had to reorder. Worth it!
