Sunspel Long Sleeve Classic T-Shirt vs H&M Long Sleeve Jersey T-Shirt

Buy the Sunspel if you want a long-sleeve tee that holds its shape and survives years of washing; its two-fold Supima cotton and English construction are why reviewers call it the gold standard. The H&M is the sensible pick if you want a plain long-sleeve tee to wear hard and replace without thought. On build, fabric and fit consistency the Sunspel is clearly the better garment; the H&M wins only on how little you have to think about it.

• Choose the Sunspel Long Sleeve Classic T-Shirt if you want one well-made long-sleeve tee that works alone or as a base layer and will outlast several cheap ones.
• Choose the H&M Long Sleeve Jersey T-Shirt if you need a basic long-sleeve tee for layering, gym bags or everyday rotation and don't want to baby it.
