recent change in T-Shirt style

I hope someone here can help me. I don't know squat about textiles, but I've noticed in the last few years the major t-shirt manufacturers have started making the shirt lengths a few inches longer (so they fall below the waist). I talked to a Hanes rep who described this as their "roomier fit" and said everyone makes them this way now. The problem is they now look silly unless they are tucked in, which I hate. I suppose this change is to accomodate the expanding belly of the american male, but my god doesn't anyone make t-shirts that just go to the waist anymore? Anyone?

That's what I do to most t-shirts now. I try each of them on first[one shirt can be shorter or longer by almost an inch even if they are the same size from the same manufacturer] decide where it looks best, add 1 inch for the hem and go from there. Emily

I have a friend who has alot of work just taking up hems in t-shirts for wealthy clients who like their shirts at a specific length. Now, the one change the manufacturers have done that I DO like is removing the scratchy label and printing it in instead. Joy
