About the original
The Hanes ComfortSoft Tagless A-Shirt is a ribbed cotton undershirt tank with banded neck and armholes, cut from 100% combed ring-spun cotton and finished with Hanes's heat-transfer Tagless neck print in place of a sewn label. The A-shirt is the most common undershirt cut in U.S. menswear, a basic that has been in continuous production at Hanes since at least the 1950s, and it sells through every major retailer in three-packs at roughly $10 to $15. Hanes was founded in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1901 and is now a subsidiary of HanesBrands Inc. The SS23 Supreme version is the same three-pack with a small stamped box logo on the lower front; it retailed for $28.
