@Michaelforman I did not notice that. Unless they have moved to a higher quality blank then these are not worth the extra money. Next Level shirt blanks are notorious for the seams not holding up. They are a far cry from the American Apparel blanks that were originally used by Meh.
@Michaelforman Since they’re screen printed, at least you won’t have the peeling problem going on right now with Woot’s shirts. They went from screen printing to basically iron-ons, and the images aren’t holding up at all. I have 10+ year-old shirts that look better than my 1-year-old shirts.

@yakkoTDI Alas, that American Apparel is gone; the LA factory has even been redeveloped. It’s moreso been Central American Apparel since 2017 when Gildan took over.
(There is Los Angeles Apparel, which emerged out of some former folks at AA, but their production and distribution is much more limited.)
I haven’t had any seam issues in myself. My oldest NLA shirts would be ones from old Design-by-humans (before they went 100% DTG) and Goodjoe (RIP ). The ones with the most abuse would be from Teeturtle as they were slobber magnets to my late doggie so they were always washed hot and dried high.
@lisagd Shirt.woot went 100% DTG printing in mid-2016 as Amazon basically took over their printing department.

I would love a cat version of these shirts.
@yakkoTDI same!
I almost purchased and saw the price went up to $20. Is this the new minimum? I feel it’s a bit high, however I might still be adjusting to inflation.

@Michaelforman @yakkoTDI @lisagd22 Yes, we did need to increase the price, based on a few changes:
