Patagonia Workwear line has one. I bought it and absolutely love it. Will last my lifetime and comes with their "ironclad guarantee" ...

Lady White tees. They’re a bit pricey, but they’re made in Los Angeles from cotton sourced from NC farms. I’ve bought a few of the 2 packs to make the price a bit more palatable.

The hand feel is crisp and you can tell the quality of the fabric. They’re a little stiff at first, but break in really nicely and feel even better at the end of the day than when you first put it on. Really high quality stuff.

Another point is the stitching on these is next level. I’m not really one for details on things like a tee shirt but once someone mentioned it to me I couldn’t stop noticing the little details that set these shirts apart from most of the mass market stuff.

These shirts are thick, heavy, last much longer than most other t shirts.

Are you familiar with linen-blends? I had a cotton-linen blend dress that felt like canvas. It was incredible. Turned out, the feeling came from the linen.

Interesting! No I’m not. Any specific brands you recommend? Sounds like a great option

linen wrinkles pretty badly fwiw

Unfortunately, that’s where I’m stuck, too. Linen feels great, but wrinkles. I seem to find blends by “chance” rather than by going to a specific brand or store.

That said…Quince seems to be highly recommended for cashmere, linen, silk options at a reasonable price. Just not sure how “blended” the linen is.

I LOVE linen. I hang dry and toss it in the dryer with a damp washcloth to kind of give it some love, or if it needs to look nicer I steam it out--but it just wrinkles and holds a wrinkle. it is what it is. it's an awesome fabric. I haven't ordered from quince but that's just because the looser cashmere cuts I like are more expensive there. several of my linen things are from j.crew recently, but i've gotten it from many places and as long as it's a certain gsm, it tends to be pretty universally good if it's 100% linen.

Never owned a hemp shirt, are they pretty soft feeling or more of a linen feel?

hemp is kind of rough at first, similar to linen, but it softens over time.

Duluth Trading. My wife bought me a couple of t-shirts recently, and they are thick and well-made.

Carhartt heavy weight T-shirts and long sleeve shirts fit the bill here as well.

Los Angeles Apparel. They have many different "weights" of cotton shirts with different necks. Made in America by people paid fair wages using American cotton. I've been buying their "boxes" of clothes that do not meet their quality standards to save money. It's only been the past couple years but they all have been holding up great.

Patagonia Fitz Roy line is very substantial, as is their work wear line. Pendelton is also very substantial (though not as thick as the Patagonia stuff).

Comfort colors from Amazon. Heavy weight. Just wash by themselves first

Just to add, most clothing items longevity depends on how you mantain them. I have some really old t shirts and pants, but I air dry and iron them as a rule.
