Default Looking for white and black tee that is a little taller than usual

Ok I have tried manny different blank tshirt brands and have still not come across one that fits me right. First of all, they all shrink...too much. I have some Gildans and Anvil slim fit at my house which I haven't been able to try yet since I'm out of town. Shirts I have tried are regular hanes from walmart, Hanes Heavyweight, Hanes beefy t, Jerzees 50/50, Jerzees from target(not sure what kind but its 100% cotton)

Anyway I'm 5'10, kinda skinny. I'm tired of my shirts being either the right width but too short, or too wide but a good length. I have a size large DC shirt (with design, not blank) and it seems like the perfect fit. Not too wide and the length comes to the middle of my palm, about an inch above the bottom of my thumbs when my arms are down. The sleeves are about 3-4 inches above my elbow.
I'm looking for blank white and black tees with a similar fit to that. Any help appreciated.

Have you tried American Apparel? They are a bit more expensive but they are slimmer fitting, and do have a longer length. I use the style 2001 and love them.

The website I usually order from, Short Sleeve T-shirts: Blank Hanes, American Apparel, Anvil, Gildan, Champion T-Shirts - Cheapestees.com

has two kinds of American Apparel, organic cotton and fine jersey. Which kind do you recommend?

I have not tried the organic cotton ones yet, they are still on my list I usually just get the regular ring spun cotton. They are super comfy too

If they are for yourself and you want some quality white t's and you dont want to go online to get them i would try jc pennys the brand is "stafford" and they have tall sizes in the same brand they dont shrink and thick plus the comfort is crazy. Just my 2cents. There pricey but worth it if the shirts are for yourself.

I'll check out the JC Pennys one. I hate ordering shirts online since I can't try them on so being able to buy them at the store is way more practical. Thank you for all advice.

those AA organics are nice, ive printed on them alot - same overall fit at the 2001. i think they wash and wear better though. the 50/50 AA, i think BB401, is even taller than the 2001 and washes well, keeps its shape, great shirt.
