Default Ask your DHs.... smooth fitting undershirt recs

So, DH's birthday is tomorrow and my online order for him won't be here until later. I'm a practical gift giver, and I know he wants to try some different undershirts to wear under work clothes. He's tried some polyster/spandex athletic shirts that he likes a lot, and that's what I'm getting online. Do your or your DHs have any recommendations for undershirts that I could get IRL?

DH is looking for something that fits very smoothly, is very breathable, and allows the dress shirt to glide easily over the underlayer. His cotton Tshirts tend to get stretched out and dingy very fast, plus he doesn't find cotton as breathable as performance athletic gear. I don't think it matters if the undershirt is compression/tight or just smooth.

I found this but don't know what brick-and-mortar store would have it.

DH loves his Underarmour undershirts. They help keep him cool as his staff like it much warmer than he does so the thermostat is never as cold as he likes.

DH loves the Nordstrom undershirts! They are extra long but lightweight for summer.

My DH likes the Calvin Klein ones at Costco. They are 100% cotton, but very thin and very smooth - nothing at all like Hanes which are thicker and tend to start roughing up. His other favorite (and he only has 1 of these) is a plain j crew white t-shirt, also 100% cotton but very thin and smooth.

DH loves Jockey undershirts. They are super soft and slim fit. Kohls usually carries them.
