Need an undershirt you can put on more easily? Check out these zip-up undershirts and button-up models.
Hi,
I am recovering from shoulder rotator cuff surgery.
Looking for a zip up undershirt, or button up, or Velcro front closure men’s t-shirts.
My US size is XL (I am 5′ 11″ and 200 lbs).
Do you know a source where I can buy these online?

Zip-Up Undershirts: Adaptive & Compression
Heya Charles,
Good to hear from you buddy and thanks for your question!
If you’re looking for a zip, velcro closer, or button-up undershirts, I’d recommend seeking out “adaptive” clothing.
Here’s an article I wrote a while back about adaptive undershirts.
I don’t know if any of them close in the front, but you can poke around and see if some of them do.
Besides that, the only other undershirts with zippers that I know are compression undershirts.
Most of them are tank top style, though.
They either have a zipper on the front or the side in order to zip them up the side to the armhole opening.

Here is one compression tank top undershirt with a zipper in the front (link), also pictured below.
You can easily google “compression shirt zipper”, without the quotes, and you should find some options if you’re ok with a compression zip-up undershirts.
Last but not least, you could likely get a seamstress to install a zipper in a couple of your undershirts.
That is – if you can’t find anything that meets your exact needs. (:

If you’re looking for a regular (outer) shirt, like a button-up shirt, you should check out this men’s dress shirt, called MagnaReady (link).
It looks like a regular button-up dress shirt. However, it uses magnets to close the shirt.
Hope it helps buddy!
