T-Shirts SuperBuy Spreadsheet

Replica t-shirts may seem simple, but quality varies dramatically. The fabric weight (GSM) determines how the shirt drapes and holds up over time — budget tees use 160-180 GSM cotton that feels thin and shrinks easily, while premium replicas use 220-280 GSM that matches or exceeds retail quality. Check the close-up fabric texture in QC photos for an even, tight weave.

Print quality is the second critical factor. Screen prints should be sharp with no pixelation, cracking, or uneven ink distribution. DTG (direct-to-garment) prints should look integrated into the fabric, not sitting on top like a sticker. For embroidery, check thread density and clean edges — loose threads or uneven stitching are red flags. The neck ribbing should be tight and elastic — sloppy necklines are a common budget batch issue.

T-shirt sizing is generally more forgiving than shoes or jackets, but still varies. Asian sizing runs 1-2 sizes smaller than US sizing — always size up at least once, sometimes twice. Request measurement photos showing chest width and length. T-shirts are light for shipping (typically 200-300g each), making them great for padding out a haul without significantly increasing freight costs.
