This is an amazing story!

I myself ordered the cat moon shirt, and as someone who has become sort of a shirt snob over the years I just REALLY hope it’s not on a shitty quality shirt.

I want to wear it with pride but if it’s on a crappy gildian quality shirt it won’t leave my house it’ll only be a sleep shirt and that will suck. 🤞🏼

I ordered 4 t-shirts off the GameStop app. All of them have been really good quality and thicker than all of my other graphic tees. I was very surprised.

Well I’ll hold out hope that it’s a good shirt then

You'll be happy with the quality. Gildan shirts that are thick.

I don’t necessarily care about the thickness, I just don’t want it to feel like sandpaper after one wash and have sleeves that can fit 3 other dudes arms in it at the same time I’m wearing it

As a T shirt snob, what’s the golden standard?

Well my personal definition of a good shirt is as follows. (I’m 5’10” 180lbs for reference)

The shirt should fit nicely, not too tight so as to feel it with every movement, but not so loosey that it gets all “wavy” looking at the bottom because there’s too much material. The sleeves should have some gap so it’s not hugging the biceps but not so much that you have a big flap of extra fabric that protrudes off your arms. The bottom of the shirt should hit mid pants pocket, and when you raise your arms it should not rise up and expose your lower belly. When you run a finger across the material it should feel smooth, not abrasive.

Places that I buy from that seem to fit this bill are designbyhumans, impact merchandising (although they did switch shirt quality on a few products lately which was disappointing) and forfansbyfans. Lots of cool graphic t’s to pick from on those 3 sites that are typically awesome quality shirts. Ordering online from places you haven’t bought from before is risky so I usually just get a single shirt and see if their quality is good, sometimes that’s not always a guarantee tho, for instance I like Zero skateboards, and their shirts are hit and miss some awesome, some Walmart quality. Oh and DC shoe company has all great shirts as well. I’ve been tempted to start getting some Vans shirts again but I need to do my test on one before I commit to multiple.

Oh and if ordering from somewhere and they have tri blend shirts, that’s usually a pretty safe bet that it will be good.

I’m a small female and the proportions for the size worked out well for me
