An $80 t-shirt? Maybe I'm out of touch, but fashion is getting way too pretentious. It's looks like a great fitting top, and I do like the stretch sleeve and hem, but I can't wear this out of sheer principle. It's cotton. It was prepared on a special loom? So what. Tell me how this shirt changes my life next to other brands costing 50% less.

amdee1979This actually more of a short-sleeve lightweight sweatshirt than a t-shirt really; made in french terry material (french terry offers superior comfort, keeps you cool and dry, and has great flexibility/stretch) which is more expensive than your regular jersey knit. As you mentioned it does have a great fit and stretch sleeve/hem. We believe this is a good value for a great layering piece that'd be great in the spring and wanted to offer it to our community members at a good discount.
There's always going to be cheaper alternatives to just about everything that's out there, and ultimately it's a matter of weighing in the features/benefits of the product added value and decide whether is right for us or not.

TomasVA picture showing the inside knit of the shirt would I think be pretty helpful here, its very hard to tell it's terry from the pictures and that was my initial reaction as well to what I though was just a thin raglan shirt for $50. It's definitely a good deal once you manage to figure Out that it it's essentially a short sleeve sweatshirt.

Alee.GFair enough. Although this is mentioned in the copy, I definitely get your point and I wish we had a close-up image of the back of the fabric so you could see the french terry knit. I'll try reaching out to the vendor to see if they can provide us with one. Thanks for your feedback!

TomasVSo Tomas. You get product for a shoot then immediately have to send it back?
Why not keep it during the drops duration just in case you do need to provide your customers with more photos?
If companies can't give you a few units to keep, specifically for this kind of thing. Honestly it's not a company I want to support.
If I'm all wrong. Tell me.

BrainFlushYou’re not wrong. We actually do just that, when we have in-house samples we keep them during the entire duration of a drop in case we have to answer questions that were not addressed in the main copy or are specific enough that wouldn’t have been included so we keep it as reference material.
In some instances like in this case, we don’t receive an in-house sample. We review samples at the vendor’s showroom and maintain close contact with them throughout the drop. French terry loop knit is a fairly standard fabric so we thought there was enough photography to properly convey the garment on our site and kind of overlooked the need for additional photos.
