T-shirts
T-shirts picks, all in one place: who this category suits, what to double-check before ordering, which part of the QC photos deserves a close look, and the trap newcomers fall for most. Read this page first, then shortlist with confidence.
T-shirts · Quick checks
Good for: Composition is stated and the collar and hem are shot close.
Confirm: Composition and GSM, not merely what the row costs.
QC focus: Ask for a collar close-up.
Trap: A lone distant photo at a price that hides the fabric.
Plain blanks versus graphic shirts
Plain blanks live or die entirely on fabric and construction, because there is nothing else to judge. Graphic shirts add print quality to the list of things that can go wrong, but they also hide minor fabric inconsistencies. If you want something that will last, buy a heavier blank with no print; if you want something expressive, budget for the print ageing faster than the shirt.
Seller signals worth trusting
A seller who publishes fabric composition, weight and full measurements is a seller who knows what they are shipping. A listing with only studio photographs and a size letter is a gamble no matter how good the pictures look. Transaction history for the specific item carries more weight than overall shop rating, which can be accumulated on completely different products.
Print quality checks
Ask for a close frame of the print edge, because lifting and cracking always start at the boundary rather than the centre. Screen prints sit thicker and last longer, while direct-to-garment prints feel softer initially and fade faster. A print that looks perfect flat on a table can still crack across the chest after a few washes, so the edge photo is where the truth is.
