I constantly have a heck of a time finding under scrub tees that have a crew neck that actually covers my chest. I have a lot of a tattoos so I always wear long sleeves under my scrubs, but the arms are not the difficult part. The difficulty is the neckline - I have tattoos on my chest as well, and invariably the "crew neck" is really more revealing than I want it to be. Who has a good under scrub shirt that really comes up to my neck area? Not a turtle neck, but you know. Something that goes over my collar bones! I love the softness of the WonderWink shirts, but they don't come up high enough.
Check champion g9 shirts. Capilene like, have mock turtlenecks that are probably what you're looking for. Target carries the line & walmart too i think.
I've found some variability in how far up crew neck shirts fit in the neck area. I'd think it would be hard to compare without taking them out of the package (since they seem to usually come several in a bag), but still.
It's always worth checking out the religious clothing websites. Islamic and Jewish clothing websites nearly always carry tight lycra layering tees which come down to the wrist and should cover your collar bone.
Pixie...perfect solution but kind of expensive. Find a Rallph Lauren Polo Store and look at their men's tees. Mine cover from the top of neck down to a few inches lower than waste. Not the button up Polo shirts, just the classic Tees
