    Pack of 3 Calvin Klein off of Amazon, less than 30 quid and they are very good quality, soft cotton. No visible logos.

    Their underwear is good too. That does have the logo writ large around the waist band but no-one can see it unless you wear your pants half way down your arse, ghetto style.

    Have you got a Matalan near you, Geoff? If so, pop in there, as they sell exactly the t-shirts you're looking for (in both round and V-neck styles), in various different colours, for about £4!

    Lol... I get ya, but trust me, their t-shirts are just fine, if you're looking for 100% thick cotton, in plain colours, such as black, white, grey and blue. I wouldn't wear them otherwise

    They even sell CK undies, and without built-in nappies....

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I looked in there not long ago Marco and I couldn't find anything I liked. Might have another look though. It's only round the corner.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Check it out, mate. They're usually folded up in big piles in the menswear section. I wouldn't buy anything else from Matalan, but I find their plain t-shirts pretty good, and mostly use them as 'vests' for underneath shirts or jumpers. They wash and hold their shape well, too.

    This is what I'm talking about, and they come in a variety of colours: https://www.matalan.co.uk/product/de...k-t-shirt-navy

    If it's just a plain t-shirt you want, you can't go wrong for £4!
