    Tight Underwear(s)

    I need some advice with clothing.

    I have been buying my shirts lately one size (half size) too small because I like the feeling of having them tight around my waist. This sometimes leaves them to be a tad short on the waist, so I am seeing if there are any nice tight-tank-top underwears that I could wear underneath to layer with the short shirts.

    I am intrested in these all:

    1 - Nice boxer briefs (tight, but flexible) http://store.americanapparel.net/4443.html
    2 - Tight/comfortable crew-cut shirts
    http://store.americanapparel.net/2001.html
    or
    http://store.americanapparel.net/bb401.html (I think a tighter fit)
    3 - Tight tank tops
    4 - Tight undies (not briefs) http://store.americanapparel.net/4415.html

    I saw some nice stuff at American Apparell, anyone try them?

    I have one t-shirt from American Apparel, the nice cotton one and I don't love the fit. My best friend wears their underwear almost exclusively because he thinks it looks good but he tells me that it's certainly not very comfortable. Are you willing to make comfort sacrifices for "fashion"?

    Since you're considering AA, and they're not cheap, here are my suggestions for better looking and, just as importantly, great feeling underwear:

    From 2(x)ist:

    Briefs (these are HOT) http://www.freshpair.com/2xist-Contr...ief-3103C.html

    More awesome briefs: http://www.freshpair.com/2xist-Conto...rief-3103.html

    Trunks: http://www.freshpair.com/2xist-No-Show-Trunk-3133.html

    T-shirts: http://www.freshpair.com/2xist-3-Pac...hirt-3134.html

    From CK: (their official site is kinda stupid, you have to scroll waaaay down to see the item you're searching for)

    Undershirts (these come in colors and seem to be currently on sale) http://www.cku.com/index.cfm/fuseact...-cbfb84a67df8/

    Trunks: http://www.cku.com/index.cfm/fuseact...-527cd37e1480/

    Hip Briefs: http://www.cku.com/index.cfm/fuseact...-4e2250ff0c42/

    All of the above are essential parts of my underwear selection.

    Thanks a lot, Twilo Mike.

    I am really needing to invest in some nice underwear. I think the Calvin Klein and 2exist ones are very nice.

    I was thinking of going into AA and trying on their shirts. I will also go to CK too then.

    You're welcome. Based on experience I will not buy another AA t-shirt again. They're too straight cut- total skinny boy ****.

    Yeah, I know they are into the "skinny boy" look, but because of that it helps my shirts fit tight on me.

    I only have one shirt of theirs that I doesn't fit too well, but this one looks like a really nice shirt: http://store.americanapparel.net/tr401.html

    I just need to fit nice, relatively tight fitting clothes because I hate "bagage."

    Get something that's pima cotton. Might be more expensive but they're a lot more comfortable and last longer.

    Under Armour boxer briefs (actually I think they're called boxer jocks now) are the best. I won't get anything else now. Unfortunately they're kind of expensive for underwear.

    Something wrong with FTL or Hanes boxer-briefs? I have those and a few pair of Underarmour Heatgear Compression boxer-briefs for running/marching.

    I have stuff I lift in/wear everyday and nice stuff too. There's no point in wearing a pair of 25 dollar boxer briefs to deadlift in.

    I need underwear at the gym. Don't like my balls getting jammed between my thighs. Ever.

    Errr... that still won't prevent what I'm talking about. I don't want to get too technical.

    No. I know what you mean. I actually used to sit on my balls all the time. Ever since my legs have had their stretch marks and my groin got way bigger, the inner thigh doesn't let them pass without my permission.

    Paint em on. Rubber latex.
    Out of the night that covers me,Black as the Pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In The fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate how charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
