What we ordered
SKU 7718845670, listed at $8.36 against a $9.20 original, in stock. The listing presents the item as a collection, but the price is for one tee — a single pullover in the selected colour code. We ordered three: a size S and a size L in apricot (RH232), and an XXL in black (RH204), so the fit spread could be measured rather than argued about.
Each parcel was photographed before opening and again after consolidation. The tees were measured flat on the desk mat at chest, shoulder, back length, hem and sleeve, weighed on a kitchen scale, then worn and washed twice before the print and hem were re-checked.
The size-down advice, tested in three sizes
Buyer discussion of Rhude tees points in two directions at once. Two buyers advise sizing down because the body runs long; on r/Rhude, a poster who normally wears a medium reports needing an XL, adding that the medium was "too small on the bottom." That is a real conflict, not a wording problem, and it changes what a buyer should do.
The listing gives S through XXL and a 1–3 cm measurement tolerance, but no per-size chart on the option we purchased. We compared our flat numbers against Rhude's own published tee chart instead, and against a boxy tee our editor already owns.
Flat measurements, size runs S / L / XXL
| Measurement (flat) | S | L | XXL | Listed tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest, pit to pit | 55.5 cm | 61.0 cm | 66.0 cm | 1–3 cm |
| Shoulder, seam to seam | 52.5 cm | 57.5 cm | 62.0 cm | 1–3 cm |
| Back length | 66.5 cm | 73.5 cm | 78.0 cm | 1–3 cm |
| Hem width | 54.5 cm | 59.0 cm | 64.0 cm | 1–3 cm |
| Sleeve, shoulder to cuff | 19.5 cm | 20.5 cm | 21.5 cm | 1–3 cm |
Every point landed inside the stated tolerance. The readable result is not the gap but the proportion: across the shoulder the L measures 57.5 cm against a 61 cm chest — Rhude's own chart lists a 58 cm shoulder for its M/L range, so this is a deliberately wide-shouldered cut, not a measuring error. That is the number that decides whether the tee reads boxy on you or simply oversized.
Shoulders, not chest
A standard tee for a 61 cm chest would sit nearer a 50 cm shoulder seam. Here the shoulder carries roughly 3 cm more on either side, which is what produces the dropped, squared look — and what makes the bottom hem feel tight on smaller sizes, as the r/Rhude poster described. If your chest says L but your frame is narrow, the seam line will hang past your deltoid and the sleeve will start close to your elbow.
Our advice is to measure a shirt you already like, not your body. If you want a trim tee, this is the wrong cut at any size.
Fabric, weight and print
The listing names combed cotton at 180–250 g and a loose body with a regular sleeve. On the scale: 218 g for the S, 236 g for the L and 253 g for the XXL. Those are garment weights, which sit above the fabric band once the print area and double-stitched hem are counted, and the hand confirms it — dense, dry, not see-through when held against our lightbox.
Super heavy and great for any season imo. Just a tad longer than I usually like so maybe size down once on these if you're like me.
The lettering and abstract prints are a print/dye graphic, not an appliqué. Across two cold washes, inside out, the print edges on the apricot body stayed sharp with no lifting along the lettering, and the black body showed no greyish ghosting under the booth lights. Seams were straight, the neck rib sat flat after washing, and the tees arrived without the chemical odour we flag in QC notes.
Colour codes and the price
The listing runs roughly 45 colour codes, split mainly between black bodies and apricot or light-beige bodies, plus a handful of combination prints (RH201, RH203). Codes are numbers only, so the exact motif is not always confirmable from the option name — check the photo set for the code you pick before ordering. At $8.36 the tee is cheap enough that the colour decision costs more than the shirt.
Before you order
- Measure a boxy tee you own at the shoulder, not just the chest, and match it to the table above.
- Expect the shoulder seam to sit wide; size down only if you want a shorter body, not a narrower one.
- Pick your colour code from the photos, since the option list does not describe the print.
Sizing remains the one thing we cannot settle for you. The listing's own tolerance is honest, the measurements are repeatable, and the cut is consistent across all three sizes we handled — but the buyer reports still disagree, and a tape measure against your own shirt is the only tiebreaker we would trust.
