Are there any well-engineered, non-synthetic, t-shirts?

Over the years I've accumulated a messy collection of various old cotton t-shirts. Each with its own quirks. Some small, some uncomfortable, some not breathable, some with a weird smell after lying not-used for too long in the closet.

I just want to buy 10-15 identical t-shirts, and not have to think which one to wear for what occasion.

Are there any t-shirts which fulfill all, or most, of the following requirements?

- comfortable

- long-lasting (does not stretch/shrink too much over time)

- not staining other clothes during washing (so, probably some neutral color)

- breathable

- easy to wash and dry (30-40*C machine-washable, ok for tumble-drying)

- non-synthetic (e.g. cotton, linen, wool)

Purpose:

- wearing at home through the day as base layer

- running/gym

- sleeping (as pyjamas)

Color/brand doesn't matter, but eco-friendly manufacturing process as whole would be a good bonus.

Try cheapestees.com. They sell most brands at discount prices. They include "organic" and "natural" selections. You may have to experiment with different brands to find your favorite. I've been buying from them for years with much satisfaction.

I personally like marino wool based products. Breathable, wicking, resilient, tend to be more sustainable oriented manufacturers.
