    Time Out New York / Issue 651 : Mar 19–25, 2008

    NYC’s best: T-shirt stores and sites

    You've gotta wear something under your $500 spring coats.

    By Kai Ma

    SOHO  |  EAST VILLAGE  |  WEST VILLAGE  |  MIDTOWN  |  UPPER EAST SIDE  |  BROOKLYN  |  WEBSITES

    West Village

    American Apparel
    Despite its sleazebag rep, this antisweatshop chain is synonymous with ultracomfy, frill-free staples, and is the largest T-shirt manufacturer in the U.S. Stop into its obscenely lit outposts to scoop up fine-jersey short-sleeve styles ($15) in more than 30 colors, and unisex track shirts ($18) that blend cotton and rayon to skim your silhouette. 712 Broadway at Washington Pl (646-383-2257); 121 Spring St between Greene and Mercer Sts (212-226-4880); 142 Fifth Ave between 19th and 20th Sts (212-620-4960); go to americanapparel.net for more locations.

    James Perse
    The casualwear cognoscenti have long worshipped this L.A. designer for his minimalist essentials that are as soft as a newborn’s bum. Upgrade from your ratty, holey numbers with lightweight jersey crews and V-necks ($40–$46) for guys, and women’s short-sleeve numbers ($39–$55) that are ideal for layering. >Men’s store: between Charles and W 10th Sts (212-255-5801). Women’s store: 411 Bleecker St at 11th St (212-620-9991).

      I LOVE ALPHABETS!!!!! There are two sides of the store each with a great selection of T-shirts and other great and unique finds. It's the best one shop stop on Ave A and in the whole city.

      GAP, H&M, American App? There are so many really great real t-shirt stores in NYC. Expected more from Time Out, don't know why.

      Crooked Monkey (crookedmonkey.com) have original tshirts- they are also pretty comfy. i've seen them worn in NY and LA and becoming more popular in London.
