Quality Control

What to Watch

These are the checkpoints that separate a solid purchase from a return headache.

QC Photo Priorities

  • Feel the blank GSM — 200g+ is the comfort threshold
  • Check print cracking by looking at fold lines in QC
  • Compare neck label stitching and tag placement

Sizing & Fit

  • Measure shoulder-to-shoulder for boxy fits
  • Compare measurements to a garment you already own
  • Size up if you plan to layer underneath

Material & Build

  • Inspect hemline for even stitching tension
  • Verify stitching density and thread color
  • Check for loose threads or skipped stitches

Common Questions

T-Shirts Buying Guide FAQ

What GSM should a good rep t-shirt be?

200g/m² is the baseline. Premium blanks hit 240g–280g. Below 180g, the shirt will feel cheap and lose shape quickly.

Will the print crack?

Plastisol prints are more prone to cracking. Water-based and DTG prints age better. Ask the seller which method they use.

How do I know if the fit is oversized?

Check the size chart against a t-shirt you already own. Oversized reps often add 4-6cm to the chest width compared to standard retail sizing.

Are vintage wash tees worth it?

Vintage washes add character and hide minor inconsistencies. They are a safe bet if you want a worn-in look from day one.
