  • Hi guys today.

  • I'm doing something much different than I've ever done before.

  • I really want to review something very basic and compare it with all different brands.

  • I've got a whole bunch of white teas for you guys today.

  • They are all crew.

  • Next, they're all 100% cotton.

  • They're all different price ranges, so one of them is like 15 bucks.

  • The last one is almost $200 I want to see if it's actually worth spending that kind of money on such a basic white tea.

  • For the record, I don't plan on keeping all of them.

  • Some of them still have their tags attached, and that's just a chance for me to be able to keep the ones that are the most distinct from the the pack and anything else that I feel is a little maybe subpar.

  • I will be returning, and none of this is sponsored or gifted.

  • Everything is something that I purchased myself, so I will leave everything linked down.

  • In the description below, I will list my sizes that I bought as well as my own measurements of my body so you can kind of compare and make a judgment on which size that you would get.

  • The 1st 1 is from made well, this one's 15 bucks on sale.

  • Right now, I have to say it is very similar to a more expensive one that I have in a few minutes.

  • So keep watching.

  • What I want to talk about with this one is that the fit is really beautiful.

  • I like the fact that the shoulder is a drop shoulder, which means that the sleeve isn't very long, but it looks longer on me.

  • That's a preference of mine.

  • I like for my sleeves to be a little bit longer.

  • I also think that this shirt, this fabric is very much more on the sea, through side of things.

  • It's less opaque, so it looks more like you would see a white bra through it.

  • So I think that that's another preference.

  • If you like to have your shirts be, maybe more breathe herbal and you don't mind if your bra shows a little bit, then this would be a good option.

  • I like all sorts of tease.

  • I've like, really thick ones.

  • I like thin ones.

  • It just depends on the outfit, of course, with $15.

  • You're not getting as much as you could be with things like their ethical standards.

  • Some other companies that I want a future today are, you know, five stars on that room, but this one is just made well, so they're making strides on fair trade, but really just in their denim department so far, another factor to the fact that it's a see through shirt it's It's a very thin material this shirt wouldn't last for, you know, several years, like some of them will.

  • That's also something that he'd been a consideration.

  • Maybe you aren't looking to invest in a white T because the T shirt will become stained over time, especially if it's a thin material.

  • This next one is from ever Lane.

  • It runs $18.

  • Right now, it again is a very thin material, But it's not as been as the maid.

  • Well, one was the fit of it, I think is a dream.

  • I like the fact that it has, like more of a longer sleeves, what is not incredibly long.

  • I also like the fact that the sleeves are a little bit tighter, and that's just again everything that I mentioned here is preference.

  • So judge for yourself on what you like.

  • If you like things to have a tighter sleeve, Worsley vets up higher.

  • I prefer them to be longer, no matter really how wide they are.

  • But I like the look of this one, I think, because the sleeves are tighter compared to the body.

  • That's a really flattering look.

  • When I was comparing the feel of each one of these shirts, this one was one of the highest rink ones on how comfy it is.

  • It's very soft.

  • It's bat pema cotton that makes it so soft.

  • There's nothing like that.

  • You know it.

  • Compared to a regular regular cotton of any form, this one is so super soft as far as durability, like how long it will last.

  • I don't think that it will last like a month.

  • I think it will last much longer than that, but I don't think it will last for a couple of years just because it's a thinner material and that already will make it more prone to stains and rips in that type of thing.

  • I've had plenty of every lane shirts that are made of this Pema cotton material and I find that, like my turtlenecks, especially, they will last about a year.

  • And when you think of a turtleneck, you're wearing it through several seasons and same with a T shirt.

  • You're gonna wear that spring summer fall, at least.

  • So those air things to consider, I would say that this is a really fair price, considered all that I've read about with the good trade.

  • They have shown a lot about whatever leans ethics are, and I can link that again.

  • Down below.

  • Next is alternative apparel, and this one runs about $24.

  • It's a much thinner material, just like the other ones were.

  • But this one has a very loose fit s Oh, this one's a small on me, and I would say that the sleeves have the biggest difference there.

  • A shorter sleeve.

  • Not my preference, not my thing.

  • It's almost the way that a cap sleeve looks, you know, when it's just up and angled a little bit more s Oh, this one is not really one that I prefer the fit of myself.

  • The really redeeming qualities about it is that I think that is the most comfortable thing.

  • It's not the most comfortable out of this pack.

  • But this one is right up there with the best of them.

  • And I will say to that this one is much more on the, you know, ethical and sustainable route.

  • If you want to go that route than this one would be a nop shin for you to look into this one I'm quite shocked about.

  • So this is J.

  • Crew.

  • It's about 30 bucks.

  • I would say that it is so incredibly similar to the maid.

  • Well, one, the 1st 1 But you know what's so interesting is the fit is a little bit different.

  • The sleeves don't have that.

  • You know you don't have that drop shoulder that's making the sleeves look more flattering.

  • I really don't care for the fit of this one at all, and I was looking closely, and it's already starting to have a hole in it, and all I've done is put it on a hanger and wary around just for this video, and it still has the tag on it, like I haven't worn this out at all.

  • It's an extra extra small.

  • It's got that same fabric from made well, so it's thinner But I have to say that I think it's just the way that made well has created.

  • There's I don't know exactly what they've done.

  • But this one is so much more fragile than that one is and the fit of it again.

  • Not my favorite.

  • This is me, not Zach.

  • Like I made Zach feel both of these shirts.

  • He thinks they feel exactly the same, But to me, this one just feels just a little bit scratchy.

  • Er, in this case, I'm just really surprised because this one is back ordered, I think through July or anyways, for months.

  • Not only that, but it's a best seller.

  • I'm just kind of shocked at this one.

  • It's much different than what I would assume.

  • It's double the price of the maid.

  • Well, one, if you are torn between the maid while on the J crew one.

  • Because they are so similar.

  • Ah, 100% I would say.

  • Go with the cheaper The maid.

  • Well, one.

  • Before reviewing the tape on all of these, I thought this next one was going to be my absolute favorite, and I haven't ruled that out yet, but I have to say the feel of this one is just like heaven.

  • It is so dreamy and comfortable and soft.

  • It's so much softer than any of the other ones.

  • And so this one is from Chiana.

  • It runs about $45.

  • Thesis leaves on it are very interesting because they're cuffed and they're sewn to be cuffed.

  • So you can't uncuff them unless you take a little, you know, ditch remover and get that off.

  • But I love the look of this.

  • It's beautiful, you know, when you're thinking of the complete opposite and you buy a pack of T shirts.

  • You know, in a Hanes bag, you wouldn't get something like this.

  • Like this looks like something hanging up in a really nice shop.

  • So that's what I appreciate about this.

  • It's very, extremely drapey and loose again.

  • I'm such a fan of longer sleeves, though that one's hitting that box forming.

  • It's not extremely long, but it's somewhere in the middle.

  • It almost has a shine on me, too, and when I was wearing its acts like, you know, that has, like, a sheen to it.

  • I found that to be really interesting note about their ethics there more of, ah slow fashion brand.

  • They're very fair trade, and I actually, even though it's a thinner shirt, I don't think it's gonna fall apart very quickly.

  • It's very tightly knit, and I think that that will give it a little bit more life to it.

  • But I do think that it could stain kind of easily Next is redone, and this one runs about $78.

  • About a year ago, read Ayn gave me a shirt and it was the exact same one.

  • It just I wore it to death.

  • And so I wanted to buy a new one myself and put it in with this list and just kind of compare it and hold it up against the others.

  • So one thing to note is that similarly to the maid well, and J crew ones, it's got this sort of pattern to it.

  • If you look closely, it's It's not an even pattern.

  • It almost looks like it's this heather color.

  • You know, the way that it's knit together.

  • It's significantly different than the maid.

  • Well, J crew option.

  • It seems softer and yet heavier.

  • It has detail in the way that they did this together in the back or sewed it together.

  • It looks like it's going to stand up the test of time much longer than some other options.

  • I just love the look of how vintage this looks.

  • It's just so inspired by that, and I feel like I just have a different look about me when I'm wearing this shirt.

  • I also think it's great that they're using recycled or up cycled materials, which redone is just known for.

  • I do think that there is just a couple other shirts in this pack that I prefer more than this one.

  • I will say that this one is a dream.

  • It's durable, It's got up, cycled products that is using fabrics.

  • But then also just the fit of is is gorgeous.

  • I would say that probably the way that how long it lasted me.

  • The last time was about ah year.

  • But that was when it started to fade, and I wanted something that was just bright white that I could compare against these.

  • And honestly, I could still return this one and still keep going with my old one, just kind of judge that for yourself how heavily you'd use this.

  • But I am really incredibly happy with this one.

  • This last one is somewhere in between really, really expensive and affordable, and I know that that's different for everybody.

  • But what I mean is, is luxury.

  • Definitely.

  • It's not should Nell expensive, But it's not, you know, much more affordable, like the $15 option.

  • So this is Jesse Cam, and it runs about $195.

  • There are some really redeeming qualities about it where I am very tempted to keep it, so I will just review those with you.

  • First of all, it's more of an antique white.

  • It's not like a starch crisp, clean white, and I think that that will make it last a little bit longer because I don't have to try to maintain that brightness.

  • If you look closely, the stitching on it is a very starch queen, Bright white, which I think is a really unique detail to it when they put extra detail around here where it's like double stitched and the material is extremely pick.

  • It is so incredibly thick that I would say that you could definitely wear in like spring and fall or, you know, if you're indoors.

  • But if you're gonna wear this outside in 90 100 degrees, you get pretty warm, which might make you sweat and maybe staying the shirt, so just kind of think about that.

  • But reviewing the tape, I would say that this I was just blown away at how different this shirt was cut to make it look on me versus the other shirts.

  • The other shirts look more standard, you know, and that's what you get for for what you pay when you wear something like this.

  • I was really surprised to see how much different I felt like it looked on me because I wasn't expecting that much of a difference for a basic white tea, which is why I want it.

  • I was curious and wanting to try this example, and I do love how long the sleeves are.

  • That's like automatically.

  • I'm gonna fall in love with anything that has that.

  • It's got a really wide cuff on the sleeves, and I feel like that's another win like it looks really flattering there, and then I because it's such a thick shirt and it's just made with such detail and quality and extra stitching everywhere.

  • This shirt is not going to disappear in a few months, like some of the more like see through or cheaper options are going toe only last.

  • Maybe, you know, a season where, as this one's going to last, I could see if you took care of it.

  • Maybe Scotch guarded.

  • At first it would last me, you know, a couple years at least maybe three years.

  • So you are paying for that.

  • And if you're more trying to buy less and just like, consume less, then something like this would be a good option, because you're gonna have it forever, you know, as faras white teas air concerned.

  • And there's such a staple that I could see that that would be a really great benefit.

  • So Jesse Cam is more small business.

  • I think she has, like three employees.

  • It's made locally in a lay, and those are reasons where it goes more into the costs of what you're paying for.

  • So looking all of that judge for yourself and just see where each one of these companies aligns with where your values are in those realms.

  • But this shirt overall, it's five stars on how long it will last.

  • The fit of it.

  • I am absolutely in love with very tempted to keep it.

  • The feel of it, I would say, is the only thing holding me back friends giving it like five stars because it isn't super soft.

  • But I love the feeling of having, ah, thick shirt sometimes, you know, so going into the ones that will be like keeping and returning.

  • I love love the Quijano one.

  • That one is my favorite.

  • I think that it's just such a great price range.

  • And I also think that the fit in the feel we're absolutely amazing.

  • So I definitely want to keep that one.

  • I'm also very tempted with the Jesse camera and even though it's a much higher price, I could see in the footage the difference of how it's cut compared to any of the others, where I feel like okay, it's a designer shirt like this one has reason for the price because it's just such a beautifully designed shirt and then the quality of it is right up there.

  • So no disappointments there.

  • I just you know, maybe with time it will get even a little bit softer.

  • I wish that was just a little bit softer.

  • If it was, it would have been my favorite out of the affordable options.

  • Definitely the ever Lane one was my favorite $18 you get an incredible shirt and it's just beautifully cut.

  • The design of it was flattering.

  • It's very light weight, and it's something that I could wear every single day.

  • As for the ones I'll definitely be returning the alternative apparel one just really didn't amaze me enough to keep it.

  • You just the way that it fit really was a little bit awkward to me.

  • And so it's just really not my preference.

  • I do think that their ethics are just amazing what it stands for.

  • So those are qualities that you might want to invest in and make up your own mind on that.

  • My least favorite and the one I'll definitely be returning was the J Crew option.

  • I just don't think that it was a good fit.

  • I feel like it was poorly put together.

  • It was double the price of the maid while option and it's, you know, same company, everything.

  • So I would rather just go with a maid.

  • Well, one.

  • If I was choosing between them, I think that the maid, well, one had a much better sleeve length as faras having that drop shoulder.

  • And this one just doesn't have that.

  • So definitely not a fan of this one, And that's it.

  • Hopefully, you found a shirt that meets exactly what you love.

  • Maybe there's a certain fit you love or a brand, or you know that it's standards behind it.

  • Or maybe it's just a price point thing for you, and all of those things are something to judge for yourself.

  • But I definitely have my winners and losers in this pack for my own personal taste, and hopefully it just gives you guys in sight.

  • If you like this sort of video, then let me know, because I could definitely do this more frequently with different types, like maybe jeans or or shoes.

  • Or there's just so many options.

  • So give this video thumbs up If you like it, don't forget to subscribe, and I'll see you guys next time.

  • Love you never know.

  • Cloudy day.

  • Make the world a better place.

Hi guys today.
