My kingdom for this exact shirt

Post date: 2021-04-12 13:06:49

I have a t-shirt that fits perfectly. It is on its last legs and, since it came from a fast fashion store that specializes in ephemera, they're no longer made. I'm getting desperate. Any last-ditch ideas to find more of this discontinued shirt?

This is a cheapy Old Navy black v-neck women's t-shirt, the "fitted" line. I bought three of them between 5-10 years ago and I should have bought 30 because it's PERFECT on me. Like, on a scale of 1-10, not only is this shirt a 10, it wrecked the curve so that all other shirts have been demoted to a 1-2. Two of the tees succumbed to everyday life, leaving the lone survivor. I have other black v-neck tees but this one is the best.

I've been trying to find more of these tees for years and am having zero luck. Over the last few years I've gone to Old Navy and tried on every black shirt they have, but they're not the same fit at all. I've searched for Old Navy "fitted" black tee -luxe -slub -perfect (to whittle out other styles) and have found just a few of them on ebay/mercari/poshmark: in the wrong size and in the wrong color. I can tell that they're the right shirt by the label - it's very specifically "fitted". I feel like a big dork because this shirt probably cost no more than $5 and it's from a store that I no longer patronize, but I have a hard time finding shirts that fit me well, so it's precious to me.

I feel like I'm at the end of the line in my search for this ephemeral shirt. Does anybody have any suggestions? Is there an Old Navy Deadstock Shop somewhere? Do they sell to overseas markets at a five year style delay so that I could buy online and have them ship it back to me? Do they do special orders? Anything?

Any help on this ridiculous quest is greatly appreciated.
