Next Level Apparel, in my opinion, has the best AA 2001 knock off with their 3600, and it has tear away labels. I switched to these during the second bankruptcy and Gildan buyout, and have been very happy with them.
An interesting aside. Have you noticed that sometimes an AA shirt of a given style and size will have side seams, and sometimes it won't? Same style, same size. WTF, right? NL always has side seams, which besides not being randomly weird, makes it easier to line shirts up on press.
ALso, NL 3600 should cost you a bit less than BC 3001 or AA 2001W.
