We ordered this shirt at $3.73 against a struck-through $4.37, SKU 7718820120, on the white base with the large blue back graphic — the interlocking NY mark, stars and thorn shapes, with printed lettering beneath it. Other reviews on this page have already pulled at the print and the collar, so for this round our testing team spent the time on paperwork instead: what the garment itself documents, and whether that survives contact with the listing.
What came out of the poly bag
- One short-sleeve tee, folded flat inside a clear poly bag with a printed size sticker on the outside.
- No hangtag, no brand card, no tissue, no branded packaging of any kind.
- A printed neck label set directly into the collar — a tagless build, not a woven label.
- One care label at the inner side seam.
At this price the packaging says nothing about authenticity either way. What it does tell you is how the parcel will behave: one shirt in one thin bag is a filler, not a line item that moves a volumetric bill.
The care label against the listing
The listing makes six checkable claims: polyester as the main fibre under the trade name milk silk, a 180–250 gsm weight, ordinary thickness, breathable function, a loose cut, and summer 2024 as the season. Here is how far the garment's own labelling carries each one.
| Claim | What the garment shows | Our read |
|---|---|---|
| Main fibre: polyester | Care label lists polyester; the trade name is absent | Matches at fibre level |
| Fabric name: milk silk | Not printed anywhere on the shirt | Unverifiable from the garment |
| 180–250 gsm | No weight stated on any label | Unverifiable; hand-feel sits mid-range |
| Loose cut, 1–3 cm tolerance | Flat measurements consistent with a loose shape | Plausible; see below |
| Short sleeve, crew neck, pullover | Confirms all three | Matches |
| Summer 2024 season | No date on label or bag | Not checkable |
The practical takeaway: the shirt confirms one of the six claims outright and does not contradict any of the others. It simply doesn't document them. If a specific gram weight matters to you — and for a summer layer it reasonably might — this is not a listing you can audit from the garment.
Tape on the two units we kept
We taped an XL and a 5XL flat on the bench before the repack. The XL chest read 54 cm and the 5XL 62 cm, with body length 70 cm and 78 cm respectively; both sat inside the listing's stated 1–3 cm tolerance band when measured against the size chart. The cut is genuinely loose — the shirt hangs away from the body at the waist rather than skimming it, which is the look the listing promises. Note the tolerance runs both ways: a 3 cm shortfall on a chest measurement is within what the listing admits, so a single-unit order is a small gamble on fit.
The blue back print, as delivered
Registration was the thing worth checking. On both units the thorn shapes sat at the same offset relative to the NY mark, within about a millimetre, and the lettering below the motif stayed legible at arm's length. The blue is deeper than a photographic match to the listing imagery suggests, and in low indoor light it drifts toward navy; in daylight it reads as the blue the listing shows. Wash behaviour is a separate test on this page — we did not re-run it here.
The weight field and the parcel maths
The listing carries a 0.00 kg weight, which is a placeholder rather than a measurement, so we ignored it and used our own scale. One bagged XL read 0.21 kg on the bench, folded to roughly an A4 footprint. That is the useful fact for consolidation: two or three of these will not push a parcel into a higher volumetric tier, and they will not save a parcel that is already over a limit either. Treat the shirt as cheap space filler with a print worth inspecting, not as weight planning.
What we could not confirm
- No stated gram weight on any label, and no way to verify milk silk as the trade name from the garment.
- No independent buyer record for this SKU in the sources we hold, so fit and print durability rest on the units we received.
- The 39-option menu names prints, not base colours. The blue NY motif is shown on white-base options; confirm the base and the print name together before the order closes.
What to ask the agent for at warehouse QC
- A straight-on shot of the back graphic in daylight, plus one at an angle — the low-light colour shift is the thing most likely to surprise you.
- A close-up of the collar print where the neck label meets the seam, since that printed label is the only marking the garment carries.
- One flat taping of the chest and body length, given the wide tolerance on a loose cut.
None of this makes the shirt a bad buy at $3.73. It makes it a shirt you buy with a photo request attached. The garment is a light, genuinely loose polyester tee with a graphic that held its registration across two units. It just doesn't come with paperwork that proves the specification — so the QC set is your documentation instead.
Does the care label confirm the fabric?
Partly. It lists polyester, which matches the listing's main fibre, but it does not use the trade name milk silk or state a 180–250 gsm weight, so those two claims stay unverified from the garment itself.
Which option gives the blue back graphic?
The blue NY, star and thorn motif is shown on the white-base options. The 39-item menu is named by print rather than colour, so confirm the white base and your print choice before the order closes.
How much room does it take in a parcel?
Very little. One bagged XL folded to roughly an A4 footprint and read 0.21 kg on our bench scale, so it works as a filler item rather than a line that drives volumetric billing.
