The Best T-Shirts Under $50

Six t-shirts under $50, scored and ranked by the Loopwheel index. Buck Mason takes the top spot by a clear margin, with the Venice Wash Slub Classic Tee earning an 8.8 largely because the texture and neckline construction do what most basics at this price don't. Reigning Champ and Mack Weldon hold their own in the middle of the pack; the three Cuts Clothing entries cluster at the bottom, which tells you something about how much of that brand's appeal is marketing rather than the shirt itself.
