Black Friday is over, but a lot of retailers like True Classic Tees keep trotting out a rolling cascade of deals. But sometimes you've got to hunt for them.
WIRED's favorite dad-bod shirt, the classic crew neck from True Classic Tees, is on a very nice flash deal right now. A six-pack of shirts is $75, the lowest price we've seen in months. The deal is only accessible from True Classic's rotating “flash deals” page, but for now, you can get the shirts for 25 percent off the expected price ($99) elsewhere on the site, and lower than the discount price ($85) on Amazon.

Wait, is that three different deals in three different places? Yeah—life is confusing now. But the merits of the T-shirt are pretty straightforward: It's designed to flatter the classic dad-bod shape popularized by off-role Leonardo DiCaprio. This means it's tight about the arms and chest, to showcase your man-muscles and stout heart, but relaxed a little (but not too much!) about the middle to allow for the passage of time and the love of a hearty meal.
You don't have to trust just us. Instead, trust a Savile Row tailor. WIRED took a host of other very-online T-shirt brands to a Savile Row tailor for objective assessment, to determine which self-avowed “perfect-fit” T-shirts actually lived up to their name. The True Classic came out the winner for teddy-bear shaped men—the shirt that most flatters the form of men who've lived with gusto.
