I often hear, "You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc.." but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?

This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.

To my eye the sleeves are the same length on Bella Canvas and Next Level. The only difference I can tell is the Next Level shirts are about an inch longer, not the sleeves but the body.

That said, I’m 6 ft - 145lbs and wear a small in both shirts. They’re both long enough to fit perfectly.

If you done mind one e question: Which one’s softer? Thank you!

They’re both 100% cotton, same weight. I believe they’re the same material and feel it.

Next Level: 4.3 oz. 100% combed ring spun cotton.
Bella Canvas: 4.2 oz. 100% Airlume combed and ring spun cotton

The “combed” bit means you should expect them both to be soft.
