Spot a Low-Quality T-Shirt Instantly:

5 Tips to Choose a Good One

Feel the Fabric
High-quality shirts feel soft, smooth, and elastic. Cheap ones often feel rough, stiff, or paper-thin.
Check the Stitching
Well-made T-shirts have neat, even seams with no loose threads. Poor stitching may unravel quickly.
Test the Stretch
Gently stretch the fabric—good material will bounce back easily. If it warps, it's likely low quality.
Smell It
Bad fabric or printing may smell like chemicals. Good cotton shirts usually have little to no odor.
Inspect the Print
Quality prints are clear and durable. Faded edges or cracking after a few washes? That’s a red flag.
