Which is better for the gym?

The Athletic Works tee. It wicks moisture and dries fast, and it is lighter and much cheaper at $7.98.

The Greystone. Its 6.1oz heavyweight cotton and taped neck hold up better than a thin tri-blend knit.

Is the Greystone worth the extra $17?

Yes if you need sizes above 4XLT, extra body length or a heavy cotton feel. Otherwise the Athletic Works tee covers the basics for far less.

Which fits taller guys better?

The Greystone. It is cut big and tall with extra length to prevent riding up. The Athletic Works tall sizes stop at 4XLT.

Does the Athletic Works tee come in big and tall sizes?

Yes. It runs from XS to 4XLT, including 3XB and 3XLT, but it uses standard tall length rather than extra length.

Which is cooler in summer?

The Athletic Works tee. The lightweight tri-blend breathes better than 6.1oz cotton.
