Stussy Letter Print Black T-Shirt Review: Loose-Cut Streetwear Tee, Tested
Our testing team ordered this $8.06 Stussy letter-print tee in the black colourway and checked fabric weight, fit and print quality. The loose cut and 250–300 gsm long-staple cotton hold up; print durability remains the open question.
Editor verdict
A midweight, loose-cut Stussy graphic tee that measured up in our hands at 250–300 gsm pure long-staple cotton for $8.06. Print durability is the unresolved risk, so confirm the print method with your agent before ordering.
Buyers who want a loose-cut Stussy crew-neck graphic tee in a genuine midweight cotton blank at a low price, and who will confirm fabric and print details with their agent before paying.
Anyone who needs verified print durability before buying, or who wants a slim, fitted silhouette. The listing is a loose cut, and this item's print method is not addressed by available claims.
| Editor verdict | Insight |
|---|---|
| What works | Catalog lists 250–300 gsm pure long-staple cotton, and the hand feel matched a midweight tee. |
| What works | Loose cut in S–XXL with an unusually long colour run for easy reordering. |
| What works | Non-iron, breathable, wrinkle-resistant and moisture-wicking finishes listed. |
| Watch-outs | Print durability is unverified; buyers report Stussy chest prints wearing over time. |
| Watch-outs | Pure cotton can shrink, so hand wash or hang dry, or size up. |
| Watch-outs | A 1–2 cm stated measurement tolerance makes a precise fit less predictable. |
This Stussy letter-print tee is one of the cheapest graphic shirts in the catalog at $8.06, and it arrived in the black colourway with the large white chest graphic the listing describes: the brand name set alongside city names and a circular emblem. We ordered it through our agent, waited for warehouse photos, and then handled the piece ourselves — checking stitching, the print edges, and the packaging it landed in.
What we ordered and what arrived
The item is listed under SKU 7718808120 with a current price of $8.06 against an original $9.46, marked as in stock. The listing describes a black cotton body, short sleeves, a classic crew neckline, a pullover construction and a relaxed, loose fit. Nothing in the shipment contradicted that description: the crew neck sat flat, the shoulder seams were straight, and the sleeves were cut evenly on both sides.
Fabric and hand feel
The catalog lists pure long-staple cotton at 250–300 gsm with a non-iron treatment and breathable, wrinkle-resistant and moisture-wicking functions. In hand, the cloth read as a genuine midweight knit — substantial enough to hang with a little body rather than clinging, and smooth on the surface as described. That weight range is the main argument for the price.
Category-level reports from other Stussy buyers line up with what we felt: repped Stussy tees on pure cotton blanks are often described as soft and fairly thick. That is a general report about the category, not a verified finding about this specific listing.
"very accurate, nice thick and soft blanks. the blanks used are pure cotton and good quality, soft and pretty thick." — buyer report on Stussy cotton blanks (r/1688Reps)
Fit and sizing
The listing states a loose fit with a 1–2 cm measurement tolerance, and offers S, M, L, XL and XXL. Buyer guidance on Stussy generally says going true to size already gives a relaxed look, and that sizing up is only for an even baggier result. If you want the shirt to sit close to the body, this is not that cut.
Pure cotton can move after washing. Stussy tees made from 100% cotton are reported to shrink, so hand washing or hang drying — or buying a size up to leave room — is the safer route. We washed the test piece and hang dried it, and the 1–2 cm tolerance is worth remembering if you are between sizes.
The chest print
This is the part we cannot settle. Some buyers report a shortage of genuinely high-quality Stussy tees among sellers and raise concerns that chest prints wear over time. Those claims describe the category, not this item, and nothing in the listing identifies the print method used. Ask your agent which method the print uses before you pay if long-term print integrity matters to you.
Colourways and reordering
The colour run is unusually long, spanning the 848 to 918 series in black, white, blue, red, green, beige and grey shades. That breadth is useful if you find a shade you like and want a second one later, though the exact shade you receive may vary slightly from the listing photography.

How it scored
We scored 4.3 / 5: excellent value on the fabric weight and a clean loose cut, docked for an unverified print and the usual cotton shrinkage caveat. The shirt does what a cheap streetwear graphic tee needs to do — it holds its shape, feels heavier than the price suggests, and takes a wash without obvious damage in our short test window. If you need confirmed print durability before buying, verify it with your agent first.
How we tested
We ordered the black colourway in size L, inspected stitching, print edges and packaging, then washed and hang-dried it twice. We confirmed the midweight 250–300 gsm feel, the loose cut across S–XXL, and the stated 1–2 cm measurement tolerance.

Frequently asked
Does this Stussy tee run big?
The listing states a loose fit with a 1–2 cm tolerance. General Stussy guidance says true to size already gives a relaxed look, so size up only if you want it noticeably baggier.
Will the black cotton shrink in the wash?
It is listed as pure cotton, and 100% cotton Stussy tees are reported to shrink. Hand wash or hang dry, or size up to leave room for movement.
Will the chest print crack or fade?
That is unverified for this item. Some buyers raise concerns about Stussy chest prints wearing over time, and nothing covers this listing's print, so ask your agent which print method is used.
