Pickwick & Weller T-shirts

In 2012, I bought two women’s T shirts from Pickwick & Weller. They are starting to show signs of wear so time for replacements, but learned the company is out of business. Does anyone have any recommendations for T-shirts that are long lasting, well styled (classic, but nice details like tapered bottom or double stitching), and not too thin or not too thick?
Thank you !

Forgive me if I’m not using the right terms or my understanding is incorrect. From googling I’ve seen that a p trap should be 2-4 inches below a shower drain. Then this creates some standing water that acts like a seal to keep odors or stuff coming up. My questions are -

What is normally the distance between the standing water and the shower drain? In one shower I have it seems very close to drain and in another I can barely see the top of the standing water.

Is there mold that can grow because of the standing water? There is also a hair trap and the bottom of it is just a fraction of an inch above the standing water. I have a child who is extremely sensitive to mold and when she uses the shower with the high standing water - or honestly is just near it for a while - she has her typical mold reaction. Flushed cheeks, excess saliva production. The problem is this is the en-suite bathroom for her.
If this is mold from the drain (I have scrubbed every inch of her shower), then is there anyway to kill it on a regular basis?

Thank you in advance

I've lived in this apartment/condo (I own) for 6 years and never had an issue with slow drains, but I had my two bathrooms re-done and now less than 9 months later there are issues. In my children's it is completely blocked even after removing the hairtrap - as in standing water up to brim. In mine, I cleaned the hairtrap but see that the pipes seem calcified. I know NYC has hard water and I've used shower filters on the showers from day one - then.

Help - what do I do? I've tried snaking with the orange barbs, and then with the hand augers - I just feel/hear the scraping on the side of the pipe but I don't seem to be making a dent. In the completely blocked one, the auger does stop about 1 foot plus in. I'm about to call a plumber - but so expensive in NYC.
