T-Shirts on GTBuy

Blank quality, neck labels, and print durability decoded.

T-shirts are the entry point for most GTBuy users because the barrier is low and the spreadsheet has hundreds of rows. But low price does not mean low standards. Neck label accuracy, shoulder-to-shoulder stitching, and hem curve are the silent quality signals. This category guide explains how to read the spreadsheet columns that matter — blank weight, print method, and shoulder width — so you can spot the difference between a disposable tee and a daily driver that survives dozens of washes without twisting or fading.

Buying Tips

200–230 GSM is the sweet spot for drape and durability.

Double-stitched hems last longer but single-stitch gives a vintage look.

Check if the collar is ribbed or self-fabric — ribbed holds shape better.

Puff prints need to feel slightly raised; flat puff is a sign of low curing.

QC Checkpoints

Collar rib width and recovery

Shoulder seam alignment (should sit on the shoulder edge)

Print centering from side seams

Hem stitching consistency and thread color match

Common Mistakes

Buying the cheapest tee assuming "it is just a shirt"

Not checking if the blank is tubular (no side seams) vs. cut-and-sew

Ignoring shoulder width and ending up with a draped or tight fit

Ordering white tees without checking fabric opacity

T-Shirts FAQ

What GSM should I look for?
200–230 GSM offers the best balance. Below 180 feels flimsy. Above 250 is great but can feel stiff until broken in.
Will the neck label itch?
Most sellers use printed or tear-away labels now. If the listing mentions a woven tag, check QC photos for scratchiness.
Do these tees shrink?
Expect 3–4% shrink on the first wash for 100% cotton. Pre-shrunk blends minimize this but read the fabric column carefully.
