I guess figuring out the difference between a good T-shirt and a bad one seems pretty obvious for most people. “A T-shirt that doesn’t shrink a couple of sizes after I’ve put it in the washing machine.” -or- “Something that won’t crack and fade after only a month or two of wearing it.” Ever got angry because that overpriced $35.00 Prince or Tupac T-shirt you bought back in the day didn’t last? That’s because there are LOTS of T-shirt vendors out here; almost anybody can make a T-shirt now-a-days. But only a few choose to do it correctly - using something other than cheap, poorly constructed T-shirts with bad ink that rubs off between your finger and thumb. And this was done, quite simply, to save some money.
Identifying bad T-shirts really isn’t that hard. Most informed shoppers can usually tell the difference. And those that may not be able to tell must trust the person or company they buy from, and hope that their stuff is quality.
Since I make and sell T-shirts for a living, I thought I would go into a little more detail about common T-shirt concerns:
