CSSBuy T-Shirts Guide
T-shirt buying guide covering print quality, blank selection, and fit assessment.
T-shirts might seem simple, but in the replica space they are where factories cut the most corners. Print cracking, off-center placements, and paper-thin blanks are the top complaints in 2026. This guide focuses on the details that matter: blank weight, print method, and neckline construction.
Popular Directions in T-Shirts
Graphic Prints
Large designs where print texture and color saturation matter.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Buying on Design Alone
Ignoring blank quality leads to shirts that twist and lose shape.
Wrong Print Expectation
Expecting puff or 3D print when the listing shows flat screenprint.
Size & Fit Guide
T-shirts typically run TTS to slightly smaller than US sizing. Oversized drops add 2-4cm in length and width. Check shoulder seam placement in factory photos.
Material Guide
200-240gsm cotton is standard. Ringspun cotton feels softer and drapes better. Carded open-end cotton is rougher but holds print well.

How do I know if a print is screenprinted?
Screenprint has a slightly raised texture and crisp edges. DTG feels flatter and softer but fades faster. Ask your agent to confirm.
Why does my replica tee neck bacon?
Baconing happens when the neck rib is low-quality or attached with loose stitching. It's a sign of a cheap blank.
