The only way to do it consistently is to use studio lights. For the shot below, I used one studio flash fitted with a large softbox (not to be confused with a light box). I used this one, although I'd use an even bigger one for men's size t-shirts.
To set it up, I taped my background on the floor (53" seamless white paper), laid the shirt out flat and used a step stool to get myself up high enough. I set my softbox up directly over the shirt, at a slight angle to create some shadows for texture. It was a little awkward trying to shoot around the huge softbox, but it can be done. I chose a 35mm prime lens because it gives me a wide angle with out any distortion.
It's not perfect (ignore the wrinkles), but it's just a quick snap I did this morning without any editing....
