I need some undershirts for the upcoming sweat season.

I'm 6'2", so it's not easy to find what I need. And I'm picky.

Korean size is 110. I prefer v-neck, 100% cotton, with sleeves.

Giordano used to do me right, but they don't carry the v-necks anymore.

I've looked around at 10 or so places and am ready to give up. Help a brother out. Thanks.

order from a catalog that ships overseas, or give up on your affect. you have to make some concessions sometimes to your particulars.


Brings back memories of my old man's obsession with vnecks.... he'd keep those thing 'til the pitstains started to turn into puffy stickers... or some sort of bacteria culture. never quite figured that one out.... and glad. Wink

Oh shit I am the same size. I've been here for about a year and have had such a hard time finding things that fit. Size 300 shoes are actually easier to find than shirts that will fit. Gmarket has some things that might work... try this:

Those are the best t-shirts I have ever found, but I am in excellent shape. I don't know what kind of body type you are. This could also work:

Undershirts... blah... they look simple. It's hard to find things that would fit someone our size though.

Was gonna go wild buying tshirts on that site but then noticed that their XXLs are 46cm at the shoulders, when I'm over 50...

everywhere?
I bought some 110s with sleeves at Emart.
There is also a chain underwear store called..uhm.. BYC I think. I got a couple there, but I found them a bit long for me, you're taller than me, so maybe they're fine for you.

Yeah, I'm a 125 (little tight) I should have stocked up in the states. Even their 4X here is too tight for my liking. I've been to Itaewon and didn't find t-shirts big enough for my liking.

I bought some wifebeaters from Uniqlo and I saw they had an assortment of other undershirts. They feel good, but are a bit short at a size medium and my height of 6'.

I'm disappointed I can't wear Giordano shirts because the chests are waaaaaayy too tight.
