T-Shirts FAQ
How do I know if a T-shirt print will crack?
Water-based prints generally age better than thick plastisol layers. Ask the seller for print type details, or look for close-up photos showing ink penetration into the fabric rather than sitting on top.
Are oversized T-shirts worth the extra cost?
Oversized blanks often use heavier fabric and better construction. If you plan to wear the piece regularly, the upgrade is usually worth it for longevity and fit consistency.
