T-Shirts — ACBuy Spreadsheet Discovery & Guide
T-shirts are the entry-level category for most ACBuy spreadsheet users, but they also carry the highest "acceptable flaw" tolerance. In 2026, the conversation centers on print technique accuracy — DTG vs screen print vs heat transfer — and how each holds up after multiple washes. Neckline construction, shoulder seam alignment, and tag placement separate premium batches from budget tier options.
QC Checklist
- Front print sharpness and color match
- Neckline ribbing width
- Shoulder seam drop position
- Side seam alignment
- Tag text accuracy
- Hem stitching density
Sizing Tips
Boxy and oversized T-shirts measure differently than standard fits. Always compare chest width and total length to a T-shirt you already own. Asian sizing often runs one size smaller than US equivalents.
Material Guide
Premium graphic tees use 240-280 GSM ring-spun cotton. Budget batches use carded cotton that shrinks unevenly. Check fabric texture in QC close-ups.
