Not my pic but the same shirt, got compliments from randos on the street and it came with a steel ring that had the Lord's prayer in Spanish (???)

weeb

how do you search for tshirts?

im worried that chinese tees will be printed on the absolute cheapest blanks

i already dislike cheap gildan blanks that people use for promotional shirts

excuse my retardation but u can wear bluetooth headsets on both ears right?

@Cad Here's the original shirt, won't turn to shit like a chinese copy would and isn't just copied off the thumbnail airt

i think i know the guy who made this

well i mean i follow him somewhere

hey gildan blanks aren't bad

ive had two different types of gildan blanks, one i got ~7 years ago that was pretty decent and one i got ~3 years ago that was absolutely awful; unbreathable and almost sandpaper-like on the skin

the latest in shirt autism ive tried was the next level 3600 which was super soft but not very durable

has a couple of holes in it after 2 years

2 years is durable enough

i've had better

they've also expanded a bit from all the wash cycles i think

or because i just shove them into a drawer

2 years is when my 3 buck plain shirts start crooking

There still wearable after that

next level 3600 is a ~$7 blank so id expected 'premium' in the world of cheap blanks

My chink Gildan is doing fine now about a year after I bought it btw

Print is getting bad

i also have some hanes beefy tees, they're pretty bad but i think you have to know what you want before you buy a beefy tee

they're thick and unbreathable

@Windatica so it's not just me thinking that gildan quality went down a lot?

I could swear I used to have a gildan shirt several years ago and it was really pretty good

but recently I bought some joke t-shirt and it's gildan too, and it's awful

I think the joke was how much I paid for it

yeah that's why im always worried about buying non-blank tees online

im confident if i buy "next level" on ebay its actually next level, but if i buy any graphic tee i can't be sure it isn't a fuckin $2 gildan blank with a $28 markup

I pretty much don't buy any apparel online anymore unless I can
- return it with no extra fees (no return shipping)
- find information on the site about what materials/brands they use

I go to turkey once a season and get my clothes there but that is mostly because I don't mind traveling 200km there and back

do you haggle for the price

no

I mostly buy from regular stores

its just cheaper there

so I don't really feel like to

its like 40% of the price of the same store here

My Oney shirts have all been Gildan, and they're pretty good

I mean, I'm also not a snob, so maybe they're shit and I just don't known it

there are multiple blends, its not that they make bad shirts, its just that often times people will resort to their absolute cheapest blends to make prints or to give out and those are the worst ones
