Fabric for men's tee?

I want to make my husband a metro tee but I am unsure what fabric to use. I am a cotton/lycra jersey loyalist when it comes to myself and the kids, but none of my husband's tees are made with a lycra blend. I am not necessarily looking for that beefy, non-stretchy jersey that many men's tees are made of. And I guess recovery isn't that important for a man's shirt. Anyway ... what have you used and where did you buy it?
