T-Shirts on Litbuy
T-shirts are the most purchased category and also the easiest to get wrong. The difference between a 200g cotton tee and a 300g+ heavyweight version is dramatic in both drape and durability. The full catalog includes blanks, vintage-wash graphics, and collaborative drops. Pay attention to the neckline construction: a ribbed collar with reinforced stitching will hold its shape through dozens of washes, while a cheap binding will stretch out within weeks.
Buying Tips for T-Shirts
Neckline ribbing width and stitch count determine long-term shape retention
Shoulder-to-shoulder taping prevents the neckline from stretching and adds durability
Single-stitch hems on vintage styles are intentional; double-stitch on modern fits
Print method matters: screen print is more breathable than thick plastisol
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Buying a graphic tee without checking the print placement against a reference
Assuming 'oversized' means the same thing across every brand
Ignoring the difference between ring-spun and open-end cotton
Not checking the garment length for your body type
QC Checklist
Neck ribbing is straight and lies flat when worn
Shoulder seam sits at the shoulder edge, not drooping down the arm
Print edges are clean, no cracking or peeling in the preview
Hem is even all the way around; no wavy stitching
Fabric weight matches the stated GSM on the listing
Color is consistent across the whole garment in the QC photos
Style Guide
For a clean rotation, own at least one heavyweight blank in white, black, and a seasonal color. Graphic tees should represent no more than 40% of your total tee collection so they stay special. Vintage-wash tees pair well with raw denim and sneakers. For a smarter look, tuck a fitted blank tee into structured trousers.
Sizing Notes
Standard T-shirts are measured by chest width and length. If you have broader shoulders, check the shoulder width measurement first. Oversized tees add 6-10cm to chest width and 3-5cm to length. Always cross-reference with a tee you already own.
Material Tips
Ring-spun cotton is softer and holds print better than carded open-end cotton. Slub cotton adds texture and a vintage feel. For hot climates, look for cotton-linen blends or lightweight jersey. Avoid 100% polyester unless you need moisture-wicking properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent the print from cracking?
Wash inside-out on a cold cycle. Avoid tumble drying on high heat. Air drying is the best method for preserving print integrity. If the listing mentions a specific print method, follow the care instructions attached to that listing.
What is the difference between vintage wash and pigment dye?
Vintage wash is a post-garment wash that softens the fabric and fades the color slightly. Pigment dye sits on top of the fabric fibers and will continue to fade with each wash, creating a unique patina over time. Both are intentional effects.
