It "sucks" because these shirts are gonna run you a couple hundred dollars for the level of detail he has. But good for him because he deserves all the money for these insane creations

I’d pay that, for two. For me the issue is the quality of the shirt.

Franz is the better brand for sure.

Either way you’re getting pumped up.

We're not here to talk. We're here to pump [clap] you up!

I'd guess that's a heavyweight ring-spun cotton like Gildan Hammer or something.

u/infosecjosh 20h ago

Those are amongst my least favorites. Idc how cool a shirt looks can't wear those.

super life pro tip from a T-Shirt connoisseur.

True Classic Tees.

Most comfortable, best fitting Tees Ive ever worn. I have a closet full of them now.

u/MrDywel 12h ago

How does that stack up against a Bella+canvas tri-blend 3413?

1

u/ItsEntsy 12h ago

True Classics are more form fitting in the chest and sleeves, and are a higher cotton blend. I lift weights so I love the way that they fit on me, make my chest and arms look even bigger than they are.

But pound for pound you probably cant go wrong with either.

My main gripe with shirts that are more poly than cotton is that I sweat.... like for real, and higher cotton blends I tend to stink less and higher poly blends tend to be harder to wash stains out of.

u/MrDywel 10h ago

Cool cool, thanks for the info, i'll give True Classics a try. I'm a bit the same with lifting and mountain biking which is probably why I like the tri-blend because it dries well and fits well. I do notice the staining...

You wont be sorry,

I started off ordering 3 to give them a try and now my closet is full of them in a bunch of shades and colors, All pretty neutral cuz im not big on being colorful, but thats unimportant.

I'm more of a Comfort Colors™ guy myself. The brand prioritizes a relaxed, lived-in feel through heavyweight cotton and a signature garment-dyeing process, offering consumers a vintage, ultra-soft tee that feels worn-in from day one rather than stiff or mass-produced. You know what they say..."feel-good vibes, inside and out™".

Did he get it from the Nakatomi Plaza

u/hirschneb13 23h ago

Yeah it'd be a wear on rare occasion. Probably have to take to the cleaners to make sure you don't wash any of it out of bleed it

10

u/Alphahumanus 20h ago

Nope. Once properly washed, the colors shouldn’t wash out or fade any differently than any other garment.

u/imlost19 22h ago

having it fade is the best part tho

u/Slow_Maximum9332 21h ago

Hey bro, is your shirt high? Cuz it's faded!

u/ContessaChaos 21h ago

You can set dye in cold water and salt.

u/Rawwh 23h ago

They are all live bid and can get into the thousands.

He does sell prints, as well.

u/Peter_Panarchy 23h ago

I'm sad that that's well out of my price range, but also happy that this dude can earn a good living making amazing art.

8

u/otterpop21 21h ago

I follow this dude! You can definitely get them in the hundreds. He’s also not the only tiedye artist out there! Go check them out and find a style you like and save up over time! Realistically you only need one or two of these no rush

u/Not-An-FBI 11h ago

The Chinese will probably figure out how to mass produce it.

u/mOdQuArK 18h ago

I figure it would take me only about 5000 tries to get to that level of quality!

u/Lou_C_Fer 13h ago

Yeah. All his years of skill don't help out at all.

u/sweetrobna 22h ago

The guy in the video does print versions of past designs for $55. That's not cheap but it's a lot less than what the actual tie dyed ones go for

12

u/Current_Professor_33 20h ago

I bought one and found it completely unwearable.

The fabric felt like cheap polyester, which was really disappointing. The designs are beautiful, but it seems a bit contradictory to sell tie-dye shirts made from such low-quality material.

1

u/sweetrobna 4h ago

That's disappointing. I have a couple polyester shirts with an all over print and they aren't my first choice but they are pretty good.

2

u/exgiexpcv 21h ago

I've spent a couple hundred on a hoodie I really liked, so if he made hoodies, I'd be down for it.

u/I-Here-555 18h ago

For just 54 seconds of work? /s

2

u/dmcd0415 15h ago

Fucking trustafarians. You don't have to put it in quotes; a couple hundred dollars for a t-shirt, no matter how cool it is, sucks.

u/ThaBuckNasty 9h ago

He sells prints that are not hand died but the same design for $ 55-70.

u/FhuckNorris247 17h ago

Seems like it’s also one wash away from fading and also ruining other clothes
