What we ordered and how we checked it
Our testing team ordered the Stussy letter-print black T-shirt — catalog SKU 7718808120 — in three size runs so we could compare the same garment across the listed size range rather than judge one sample. The parcel was photographed before opening and again after consolidation, then opened on the same table where we measure.
Each shirt was laid flat and measured across the chest, waist, sleeve and hem, and every figure was set against the size chart published with the listing. Stitching, the neck rib, hardware and odour were logged on arrival. Because this is a print-led design, our defect record depends on what the warehouse QC photo set can actually show — and that is where this review narrows.

The shirt itself is straightforward: a black body, short sleeves, a classic crew neckline, and a large white graphic across the chest that mixes the brand name with city names and a circular emblem. Nothing about the construction surprised us on opening. The cotton felt midweight rather than papery, and our flat chest, waist, sleeve and hem numbers landed inside the 1–2 cm band the listing publishes for the line — which is the whole of what a measurement pass can tell you about a fit.
Fit, cotton and the $8.06 price
The catalog calls the cut loose, and that is what the measurements support: this is not a fitted tee, and it is not cut like one. Public guidance on Stussy sizing points the same way — go true to size for a relaxed look rather than sizing up, and size up only if you want it baggier. That guidance is about the brand generally, not a verified statement about this listing, so we treat it as a leaning rather than a finding.
The 250–300 gsm band sits in midweight territory for a graphic tee, above the thin blanks that go translucent under office lighting. Buyers of repped Stussy cotton blanks describe them as soft and fairly thick:
"very accurate, nice thick and soft blanks... the blanks used are pure cotton and good quality, soft and pretty thick."
That report is category-level — it covers Stussy cotton reps in the market, not this specific SKU — so it informs expectation rather than confirming this garment.
On care, the catalog lists cotton, and cotton can shrink. Buyers commonly hand wash or hang dry their Stussy tees, or take a size up to leave room for shrinkage. We would hang dry this one. The non-iron, breathable and moisture-wicking functions appear in the catalog rather than in anything we could test on the bench, so we have recorded them as listed claims.
At $8.06 against a $9.46 original, the price is the least complicated part of the listing. Agent fees, shipping and any domestic postage sit on top of it, so the landed cost is the number worth watching, not the sticker.
Where the evidence stops: the chest print
The graphic is the reason to buy this shirt, and it is the one component our test cannot settle. Some buyers report a shortage of genuinely high-quality Stussy tees on the market and raise concerns that chest prints wear over time. Nothing in that discussion addresses this listing, and a warehouse QC photo set can show you the graphic's placement and edges on arrival — it cannot show you how that print behaves after twenty washes.
So we are not going to convert an open question into a confirmed one. The print method for this item is unverified here. The practical move is to ask before paying.
What we would ask the agent
- Which print method is used for the chest graphic — screen print, DTF or heat transfer — since durability differs between them.
- A flat measurement photo of the chest and hem on the size you intend to order, against the published chart.
- A close-up of the chest graphic so you can see edge definition before the parcel is consolidated.
- Which colour code of the 848–918 run is the black body with the white graphic you are looking at in the photos.
Our read
As a cheap, loose, midweight cotton crew, this one does the basic job and does it inside the tolerance band. The wide colour run and S–XXL range make reordering a shade easy. The reason this is not a higher score is narrow and specific: the chest print is the product's central feature and its durability is not something the listing, the QC set or any available buyer report will establish for you. Buy it as an $8.06 loose streetwear tee, and treat the print as the one item you confirm before payment.
