Undershirts with your N.Peal Spectre sweaters?

Am I the only one who thinks the Spectre sweaters don't look right when worn with undershirts? The lines look bunched and wrong at the sleeves. And the mock neck looks particularly wrong. But I'm not crazy about sweating into a $450 silk and cashmere sweater. I find this conundrum annoying. I'm going to keep going undershirt-less. But what do you guys do?

Just bought a couple of Airism’s the other day and they seem great. The lack of any seams at the collar and sleeves is amazing and perfect for wearing under something like a thin business shirt...or a sweater. Had to return (for exchange) the ones I bought though because I went by their inaccurate size chart and they’re far too big.
Regarding the N.Peals though, I wear regular tees under the roll neck and I haven’t had issues with bulging or anything like that. I don’t own the mock neck but for that a proper undershirt would be the way to go...and that doesn’t mean a tshirt being worn as an undershirt, but a proper undershirt (made to be worn under something and not by itself) like the Airism or one of those ones from the many companies online that make the “perfect undershirt”.
It means a lot of handwashing my sweaters at the sink, alas.

The ToKiTo is a killer.
Barbour, at least, recognizes this problem and offers other jackets with underarm gussets or zips. I have the black version of this one (with zips). If I didn't already own the ToKiTo I would have gone with this color.

A henley wouldn't work under a sweater like the SP mock neck—the buttons would be far too obvious under it.
