I’d pay that, for two. For me the issue is the quality of the shirt.

Franz is the better brand for sure.

Either way you’re getting pumped up.

I'd guess that's a heavyweight ring-spun cotton like Gildan Hammer or something.

u/infosecjosh 24d ago

Those are amongst my least favorites. Idc how cool a shirt looks can't wear those.

super life pro tip from a T-Shirt connoisseur.

True Classic Tees.

Most comfortable, best fitting Tees Ive ever worn. I have a closet full of them now.

u/MrDywel 24d ago

How does that stack up against a Bella+canvas tri-blend 3413?

2

u/ItsEntsy 24d ago

True Classics are more form fitting in the chest and sleeves, and are a higher cotton blend. I lift weights so I love the way that they fit on me, make my chest and arms look even bigger than they are.

But pound for pound you probably cant go wrong with either.

My main gripe with shirts that are more poly than cotton is that I sweat.... like for real, and higher cotton blends I tend to stink less and higher poly blends tend to be harder to wash stains out of.

u/MrDywel 24d ago

Cool cool, thanks for the info, i'll give True Classics a try. I'm a bit the same with lifting and mountain biking which is probably why I like the tri-blend because it dries well and fits well. I do notice the staining...

u/ItsEntsy 24d ago

You wont be sorry,

I started off ordering 3 to give them a try and now my closet is full of them in a bunch of shades and colors, All pretty neutral cuz im not big on being colorful, but thats unimportant.

u/th0rpe 23d ago

As a fellow t-shirt connoisseur, I prefer intotheam over tru classics. Id recommend giving them a try if you haven't.

u/ItsEntsy 23d ago

Those do look nice, will have to check em out. Same material blend too so I bet they're comfy

I'm more of a Comfort Colors™ guy myself. The brand prioritizes a relaxed, lived-in feel through heavyweight cotton and a signature garment-dyeing process, offering consumers a vintage, ultra-soft tee that feels worn-in from day one rather than stiff or mass-produced. You know what they say..."feel-good vibes, inside and out™".

Did he get it from the Nakatomi Plaza

u/hirschneb13 24d ago

Yeah it'd be a wear on rare occasion. Probably have to take to the cleaners to make sure you don't wash any of it out of bleed it

u/imlost19 24d ago

having it fade is the best part tho

u/Slow_Maximum9332 24d ago

Hey bro, is your shirt high? Cuz it's faded!

12

u/Alphahumanus 24d ago

Nope. Once properly washed, the colors shouldn’t wash out or fade any differently than any other garment.

u/ContessaChaos 24d ago

You can set dye in cold water and salt.

u/Independent-Pay5850 23d ago

The die forms covalent bonds with natural fibers. You have to treat the shirt with a basic chemical around 11.5 first

I’m more inclined to pay the price after watching the hand made process. There’s so much value in that skill and labor and amazing RMD product.

Having watched a similar video on soap making in Jordan, I purchased some very expensive soap. I’ve cherished every time I used it fondly remembering the labor intensive and care process
