nice design, comfortable
I recently bought a small fruit still life t-shirt with the citron color. That picture/t-shirt color combo works well together and it looks the same in person as the picture. Would recommend
I love the shirt! And love that people look at it and scratch their heads a bit thinking about what it means.
The shirt fits true to size and the quality is great. I was a little worried that the large screen print would lead to a rigid shirt but it’s not all. It feels as though it’s a blank tee but has great designs, front and back. It’s been through the wash a few times so far with zero signs of wearing.
Very happy.
As a T-Shirt snob this T-Shirt is one of my best. Its design is spot on unique, its material is very nice and comfortable. And it fits. Looking forward to seeing more from this brand.
I love how unique this is! It looks great hanging in my kitchen.
As a fan of all things dance, I could not resist and I love my t-shirt! It is soft and a perfect fit. So far, it has held up in the wash. The company website made ordering easy and I was kept informed of delivery dates. I love the variety of products and expect to order something new in the future.
I have gotten SO MANY comments on this shirt. It’s a hit!
Great gift for my boyfriend
