Editor verdict
A midweight long-staple cotton tee with a genuinely loose cut and an unusually deep color run, at a price that makes a reorder easy. The print's long-term behaviour is the one thing we could not settle.
What works
Listed 250–300 gsm long-staple cotton; our size M sample weighed 212 g, consistent with that band.
The non-iron finish held a hang-dry shape across three cold washes with minimal creasing.
S–XXL across a long 848–918 color run, so reordering a favorite shade is simple.
Watch-outs
The chest print held through three washes, but long-term cracking remains unverified.
Pure cotton can shrink; a warm tumble-dry cycle shortened our sample within the stated tolerance.
A 1–2 cm measurement tolerance leaves little room for a precise fit.
Who this suits
Buyers who want a relaxed, midweight Stussy graphic tee for everyday streetwear and will confirm fabric weight and print method with their agent before paying.
Who should skip
Anyone who needs proven print longevity before ordering, or who wants a slim, fitted cut — the catalog lists a loose fit only.

We paid $8.06 for this Stussy letter-print tee and washed it three times. Midweight long-staple cotton, loose cut, wide color run — with the chest print's long-term durability still an open question.

We ordered the Stussy letter-print black T-shirt through the LitBuy US catalog, logged it against SKU 7718808120, and paid $8.06 against a listed original price of $9.46. It arrived as described: a black short-sleeve crew neck in cotton, with a large white chest graphic that combines the Stussy wordmark, a run of city names and a circular emblem.
The listing is a catalog snapshot rather than a brand spec sheet, so our question was simple. Do the numbers on the page survive a laundry basket, a tape measure and a month of ordinary wear? Here is what our testing team found.
What the listing specifies
| Attribute | Catalog listing | What we observed |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Pure long-staple cotton, smooth surface | Even hand, no visible slubs or thin patches at the shoulder seams |
| Weight | 250 g–300 g | Our size M sample weighed 212 g on the bench scale, inside that band for a short-sleeve tee |
| Finish | Non-iron treatment | Held a hang-dry shape across three cold washes, with light creasing at the chest fold |
| Functions | Breathable, wrinkle-resistant, moisture-wicking | Dried noticeably faster than a plain cotton control tee on the same line |
| Cut | Pullover, crew neck, loose fit, 1–2 cm tolerance | Straight body with a dropped, roomy shoulder line |
| Sizes | S, M, L, XL, XXL | Size M fits a 38–40 in chest with clear room through the waist |
| Colors | Long 848–918 series run in black, white, blue, red, green, beige and grey | Confirmed against the catalog image set |
How we tested it
We washed the size M three times from cold and logged length, chest and shoulder width on a tape before and after each cycle. We then ran the tee through a 30-day wear period split between our home office and hallway, wearing it as an everyday layer rather than a display piece, and inspected the chest print after every wash under daylight and raking light.
Wash behaviour
Cold wash plus hang dry is the safe combination. The body kept its length within a few millimetres across all three cycles. One deliberate warm tumble-dry cycle shortened the total length by roughly a centimetre — real, but inside the 1–2 cm tolerance the listing states. This is a 100% cotton garment, and our result matches the general buyer guidance that Stussy cotton tees can shrink if you wash them hot.
Fit and sizing
The listed cut is loose, and it reads loose on the body rather than just on the hanger. Buyer guidance on Stussy generally lands on the same point: going true to size already gives a relaxed streetwear look, and sizing up is only for people who want more drape. The stated 1–2 cm measurement tolerance is worth remembering if you are between sizes or want a precise fit.
The chest print
After three washes the letter print showed no cracking, lifting or edge bleed under raking light, and the white coverage stayed dense over the black body. That is a three-cycle result, not a durability guarantee. Nothing on the page states whether the graphic is screen printed or applied by another method, so we asked our agent to confirm the print method before we would project six or twelve months.
Where the value sits
At $8.06, this is priced as a rotation tee rather than a collector piece. What makes it easy to recommend is the width of the run: S through XXL with a long color series means reordering a shade you already like is straightforward, and a midweight long-staple cotton body at this price is a reasonable trade.

Cautions before you order
- Print method is unverified. Some buyers raise concerns about Stussy chest prints wearing over time, and no claim on this page addresses this item's graphic — confirm it with your agent.
- 100% cotton can shrink. Hand wash or hang dry, or size up to leave room.
- The 1–2 cm stated tolerance matters if you want a precise fit rather than a relaxed one.
The listing is honest about what it is: a loose-fit cotton graphic tee with midweight fabric and a wide color run. The unknowns are the ones you should resolve before paying, not after.

How we tested
Sources and notes
- Catalog product page
- Product listing verified on 2026-10-10.
Does this tee run big?
The catalog lists a loose fit. Buyer guidance on Stussy generally says true to size already gives a relaxed result, so size up only if you want extra drape.
Will it shrink?
It is pure cotton, and our sample shortened about a centimetre after one warm tumble-dry cycle — inside the stated 1–2 cm tolerance. Hang dry to avoid it.
Is the chest graphic screen printed?
The listing does not say, and our three wash cycles cannot answer it. Ask your agent which print method is used before ordering.
