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, with collar and hem stitching photographed close.

Confirm: Composition and weight, not simply the price on the row.

QC focus: Ask for a collar close-up.

Trap: One distant photograph at a price that seems too cheap.

Fabric weight and how it drapes

T-shirts in this market range from thin promotional-weight cotton to heavy fabrics that hold their shape for years, and the difference is invisible in product photographs. Weight also decides whether a shirt is see-through in daylight, whether it clings, and how it behaves after ten washes. If the listing does not state grams per square metre, ask before ordering rather than inferring from price.

Colour fastness and the first wash

Dark and saturated colours release dye in the first wash, which is normal and not a defect, but it means shirts should not be washed with light colours that day. Wash cold and inside out to slow fading significantly. If a shirt arrives with an uneven shade across the panels, that is a genuine defect worth raising while the parcel is still at the warehouse.

When a shirt is not worth claiming

Slight colour variation from the screen, minor loose threads at the hem, and a soft crease from packing are all normal and not worth an exchange. Structural problems — a seam that has come apart, a collar that is visibly off-centre, or a print that is badly misaligned — are worth raising immediately. Knowing the difference saves a lot of time on both sides.
