Roundtree And Yorke

In Search of Old Fashioned Roundtree & Yorke Tank Top | Undershirt ...

Hi Tug-

I am an old fashioned guy (76 years) and am looking for an old fashioned undershirt. Several years ago, I bought eight of the perfect undershirt at Dillard’s department store. The brand was Roundtree and Yorke. But, they are wearing out now and I have not been able to find them again. Not at Dillard’s store or website or even with a lot of Google searching. Can you help me find an equivalent?

Here is what I need. The undershirt is sleeveless (but not a “muscle shirt”) and looks like the usual ribbed undershirt. But, this material was NOT ribbed. Also, there is no seam down either side. The 100 percent cotton material was soft, like a Jockey sleeved tee undershirt. The material was very heavy compared to a typical ribbed undershirt.

I found and order three Anvil undershirts that were advertised as 100 percent cotton with a weight of 6.1 oz. The undershirt were of the proper shape and did not have a seam down the side. But, the cotton was very rough and agressive feeling, not smooth like the Roundtree and Yorke shirts (or the Jockey tee shirt). Also, the material might have been a little heavier than standard, but it was not what I would have considered to be “Heavy”.

I don’t want tight fitting, moisture wicking, self cleaning or whatever. Just an old fashioned soft and heavy cotton undershirt with seams down the side.

Any help would be appreciated.

i did a quick scan of the recommended products, and found some of them might meet most of your criteria, but not all. also, i recalled a couple other options that might be suitable as well. below you will find a series of suggestions to take a look at. the main thing i couldn’t find are tanks with no side seams (“seamless” or “tubular” body):
