Oh, and Diamond Dave did some USAAF t-shirts years ago, where you could customize the base/field and have a name & service number on the back. I got one for Salt Lake Army Air Base with my grandfather's name and enlisted service number and wore the hell out of it.

Some of mine...
Tri-City Atoms is new, Tahiti is NOS 1990s, TN High School is NOS 1978, and Champion Spark Plugs and orange striped are made by a Chinese company called Non-Stock (very satisfied with their wonderful heavyweight cotton)

And my personal favorite -- 490th Bomb Squadron, 341st Bomb Group, 10th Air Force "Burma Bridge Busters" 1980s t-shirt. The back has an awesome design featuring a B-25H destroying the Myittha River Bridge in January 1944. The pilot's name is Capt. A.J. Boutselis, and after some digging, I found this:

From Yank Magazine, April 1, 1945:
"Two weeks after Maj. Erdin's discovery, the 490th got sweet revenge when Capt. Angelo J. Boutselis of Dracut, Mass., destroyed the Myittha River bridge - the target which the entire squadron had missed before - with only two bombs, using the new hop technique. Boutselis was so happy he conducted prayer-meeting hymns over the interphone and twirled his 10-inch mustache all the way back to the field."

Captain Boutselis may have had the most impressive 'stache in the entire CBI (sorry couldn't find a higher resolution picture)

Non-Stock does have some quite nice, heavy cotton tees.. Great graphics which do not crack, or fade with washing. :) Most who read my posts here know that I'm on a tight budget, and picked these up from AliExpress last spring for between $15-25.00 USD a pop:

I also have a few Buzz Rickson and Sugar Cane Tees & sweatshirts from when I had disposable income, for those occasions when I want to really impress myself... :p:D

Love Non Stock too. I have one of their striped pocketed t-shirt (see the topic about the jeans), and it's really great. Cheap price, but keeps its shape well and is well put together. I'll dig some more soon!

Edit: Here's the one I'm wearing today:
