Mossimo Athletic Fit T-Shirt – $7.00 Solid | $7.00 Heathered

We all have that one t-shirt.  The one that fails to disintegrate, it fits perfectly, and best of all you found it at a thrift store twelve years ago for $3.50.  (Mine is a 50/50 cotton-poly blend City of Watertown WI Park and Rec Softball T-shirt I found at a Goodwill) It’s our favorite t-shirt and nothing will ever match it.

But these get pretty close.

Mossimo’s Athletic Fit T-shirts have it all.  Smooth and light fabric, a fit that stays close to your body, and a collar that’s neither too thick or ribbon thin.  Perfect for layering, or by themselves with jeans or shorts.

Plenty of options in the color department.  Black, white, and the terrific Agate Gray for the pure solids, the entire color spectrum available in their heathered option.  Both, just $7.00.  Or twice the cost of that used thrift store tee you bought more than a decade ago.

  2. I also like the American Apparel T-shirts, but the one’s I’ve always had seemed a little too… thick? They seem to be like a sponge, drawing out whatever sweat you might have in your pits. And I’m not that sweaty of a guy. But its also been awhile since I’ve had one on. At $17.00 yhey’re also more than twice the cost, which… when you consider they ARE made in the US, it’s probably well worth it.

  3. The Arizona v-necks and crew neck at J.C. Penny come in a bunch of colors. They’re super comfortable, hold up really well to wear, and are usually on sale for 6.99. I’ve got bunches. I need to try these from Target though.

  4. Mossimo and American Apparel are both excellent. Mossimo is cheaper, sometimes only $2.50 on sale at Target, and it’s also more “athletic” in cut. I love the AA crew t-shirt too, especially for the color selection.

  5. The Mossimo shirts have changed. About 5 years ago I bought them up like hotcakes because they fit perfect and were durable, I still wear a few of them! But, I went to Target to ‘resupply’ and wass very disappointed. They are super thin now, the large fits much smaller than the old ones. In fact, after just 1 wash, 3 of the 6 I bought looked like they would fit a child. Somthing has happened to the Mossimo quality, I agree they used to be great though. Check out the V-Neck, Pima cotton t-shirts at Banana Republic, great fit, super soft.. my girlfriends fav on me. Good luck..

  6. I gotta disagree Steve. Bought three Mossimo tees from target just over a year ago. Wearing one right now. I’ve never had a problem with them shrinking. Cold wash, every time. Is everyone washing their t-shirts on warm or even hot? I don’t get the shrinking problems…

  7. You can buy American Apparels in bulk from 3rd party sellers via Amazon… if you buy eight or so at a time, the price after shipping goes down to $8 or $9. You have to look around for the cheapest sellers. Ya know… I have a lot of AA shirts and I like them a lot, but I really treasure my Mossimo Heather shirts!

  10. how do i buy mossimo bulk? ive googled and googled but nothing?!?! the tees are great especially the plains ones perfect fit and style

  11. Unfortunately Target has changed the fabric. They still appear to be the same cut, but since several months ago they are now not as soft, not as breathable, and altogether cheaper feeling (and itchy to boot). 

    Very bad move Target. I thought I had found THE t-shirt I would be buying, well, forever. Increase the price if you have to. But as they are now I won’t be buying more.

  12. I agree 100%.  I love the fit of these shirts – I am an avid weight lifter, but not really big enough to notice when wearing regular fitting shirts.  I wear these shirts and people think I’m stacked….It is just the way they fit – tight around the neck and biceps and just under the pecs.  My wife bought 6 of them from target at about $5 a shirt.
