Before I get started with the review, I have to tell you that a quality undershirt is key to my wardrobe.  Without a decent undershirt, it doesn’t matter how good my shirt or suit is.  If you’ve read the Veritas blog, you certainly know the importance of an undershirt under a dress shirt.  

1. Neckband and arm bands must lay flat and not be bulky
2. Neckband must be of a comfortable material to avoid an itchy collar
3. Seems must lay flat to avoid bulk
4. Shirt must be long enough to stay tucked in!!  This means the shirt should come down to where your buttocks meet your legs – long enough to stay touched in without the bump across the rear. This will stop the “blousing” or fake love handles.  Really, what guy want’s to look like they have love handles when they don’t or bigger ones than they already have!
5. Thin material to avoid adding bulk, but be of quality to not wear out too soon.
6. Price must be doable -this varies for everyone.

There are a few stay-tucked undershirts on the market today.  As of this writing, and in my opinion, I’d rank RibbedTee at the top of the list of stay-tucked undershirts for it’s quality, comfort MicroModal/Pima Cotton blend, function, and value.  At $29 it is an expensive undershirt – considering you can buy a pack of Hanes for much less.  


Before trying a stay-tucked undershirt there was no way I thought I’d pay close to $30 for an undershirt; after trying stay-tucked undershirts there’s no way I’d buy a regular undershirt – no matter how cheap it is.  With RibbedTee, you’re definitely getting what you pay for!  If you’re still not sure about $30 for an undershirt, you can always try RibbedTee’s Classic undershirt at two for $18.50 – also a stay-tucked design (see my review).  The MicroModal is definitely a luxury undershirt, but aren’t you worth it?  Either way, MicroModal or Classic, you can’t go wrong!
