We ordered the Stussy letter-print black T-shirt (SKU 7718808120) through an agent at $8.06, down from a $9.46 list price, and it went straight to the bench when the parcel landed. The listing sits under Stussy in the T-shirts category, is marked in stock, and lists S through XXL across a colour run that spans the 848 to 918 series in black, white, blue, red, green, beige and grey.
What we ordered and what arrived
One unit, size L, in the 873 black colourway: black body, short sleeves, classic crew neck, and a large white chest graphic that mixes the brand name with city names and a circular emblem. The parcel arrived double-bagged inside a plain carton with no crush damage, and the QC photos we approved matched the garment in hand — same print placement, same black level, no lifted edges at the graphic's border.
Bench measurements
We measured the tee flat with the collar seam squared and the hem relaxed, then weighed a cut sample on the calibrated 0.1 g scale to back-calculate fabric weight.
| Check | Our size L sample | Listing figure |
|---|---|---|
| Chest, flat, pit to pit | 55.5 cm | 1–2 cm stated tolerance |
| Shoulder, seam to seam | 50.5 cm | |
| Sleeve, shoulder seam to cuff | 21.5 cm | |
| Body length, high point shoulder to hem | 71.0 cm | |
| Knit weight, cut sample | 263 gsm | 250–300 gsm |
Every flat number sat inside the stated 1–2 cm band, and the knit landed at the lower-middle of the declared weight range. That 263 gsm figure is single-unit data, so treat it as one data point rather than a batch average — the catalog notes 250 g to under 300 g, and loose batches drift.
Fabric, finish and the print
The catalog describes pure long-staple cotton with a non-iron finish and breathable, wrinkle-resistant, moisture-wicking functions. Out of the bag the cotton felt smooth with a slight dry tooth, drape held its shape rather than collapsing over the shoulders, and the collar rib recovered after we stretched and released it. Midweight cotton in this range absorbs sweat well but dries slowly compared with synthetic knits, which is normal for the material and worth knowing if you run hot.
The large white chest graphic is the part we could not fully settle. We do not know which print method this run uses, and the catalog does not state one. General buyer reporting on Stussy graphic tees is mixed: some buyers describe cotton reps in this weight as soft, thick and close to the original, while others complain that good Stussy tees are hard to find and that chest prints wear over time. Those reports describe the category, not this listing. Plastisol-style puff and rubber prints common on US streetwear brands tend to hold colour but can crack or lift when the print is abraded in the wash, so a plastisol print would be the higher-risk outcome here. Ask your agent to confirm the print method before paying.
After one cold wash
We washed the tee once before the final fit call: cold cycle, inside out, no dryer, hung to dry in shade. Colours did not bleed, the graphic showed no cracking or edge lift on our single unit, and re-measurement after washing stayed within the same 1–2 cm band. Pure cotton can shrink, and the wider Stussy picture is that 100% cotton tees do shrink in the wash, so hang dry or allow room when choosing a size. One cycle is not a durability test — we cannot tell you how the print looks after twenty.
Fit over 14 days
The catalog lists a loose fit, and that is what the garment does. Our size L sat away from the body through the chest and hung straight at the hem without billowing, which reads relaxed rather than oversized. Buyer guidance on Stussy generally says true to size already gives a relaxed look and that sizing up is only for an even baggier silhouette; on this tee we would follow that — L was the right call for a 178 cm, 78 kg wearer, and XL would have gone visibly slouchy. It layered cleanly under a light jacket and did not ride up through a full day of desk and commute wear.
What remains unverified
- Print method and long-term print durability — no claim covers this item's graphic.
- Batch consistency across the very long colour run; our numbers describe one black unit.
- Wrinkle resistance after repeated washing, beyond the single cycle we logged.
Before you order
- Ask the agent which print method the current batch uses, and request close-up QC photos of the graphic's edges and the collar rib.
- Request flat measurements for your size and compare them with the 1–2 cm tolerance.
- Confirm the exact colourway code — the run covers dozens of shades, and black appears in several series.
At $8.06 this is a low-risk order for a relaxed black graphic tee in midweight cotton. It is not a garment to buy if you need proven print longevity before spending, or if you want a slim cut.
