What we ordered and what arrived
We bought two tees from this Rhude T-shirt collection through Litbuy AI: code 5018 in black and code 5017 in apricot, both in size L, at $8.51 each against a listed original price of $10.14. The SKU on the listing is 7718829942, and the item was in stock when we ordered.
Before the parcel left the warehouse we asked for QC images of the neck label, the print at full width, the hem, the side seam and a flat-lay with all four corners visible. Both tees cleared that set, so we approved shipment. Our parcels are weighed on arrival on a 0.5 g scale; both tees came in within the expected band for a listed 220g knit, and both were photographed on the grey card before being worn.
Fabric, weight and the no-iron claim
The listing is specific about the body: long-staple cotton as the main fabric, 220g weight, pull-over construction, moisture-wicking function and a no-iron (anti-crease) finish, with a collarless neckline and short sleeves. What we can speak to is the hand feel and the behaviour of the cloth across three two-hour wear sessions and two 30 °C machine washes.
| Listing states | What our testing team found |
|---|---|
| Long-staple cotton, 220g | Dense, dry-hand jersey with a low sheen. It holds a fold rather than flopping flat. |
| No-iron / anti-crease finish | Both tees hung out of the wash with light creasing; a short hang in steam removed most of it. |
| Moisture-wicking function | Cannot be verified on a bench. The cloth breathed normally indoors and did not turn clingy in warm weather. |
| Collarless neckline, short sleeve | Neck trim sits flat and kept its shape after both washes; sleeve openings did not flare. |
Where cheap graphic tees usually give themselves away is the join between print and cloth. On both of our samples the graphic sat in the knit rather than on top of it, the hem stitching ran straight, and we found no loose threads at the shoulder seams or the neck trim after washing.
Fit: the one thing to confirm before you pay
This is where the listing carries real risk, and where our own measurements agree with the wider record. Both size-L samples measured generously across the chest and dropped well below a standard men's large in the body. Rhude's own retail partners describe the cut plainly: MR PORTER lists an oversized Rhude logo tee as "intended to be oversized; we recommend sizing down if you prefer a closer fit", and stockists such as Averlo tag Rhude tees as "oversize fit (size down from true to size)".
Buyer threads on r/Rhude lean toward a full size down from your normal size, and one r/streetwear buyer went from a usual large to a small. Others keep their normal size in certain Rhude cuts.
Because the listing groups roughly a hundred colour codes under one product page, and because Rhude sizing is not uniform across silhouettes, we would not order this tee blind. Ask your agent for flat measurements of the exact code you want — pit-to-pit, shoulder, body length and sleeve opening — and compare those numbers with a tee you already own. That single step removes almost all of the guesswork.
Prints, colourways and how to compare them
The range runs across black, white and apricot, in S, M, L and XL, with letter and brand-logo graphics. The grouped presentation is convenient for browsing but easy to misread: the studio photography is shared across many codes, so the graphic you see in position one may not be the graphic attached to 5017.
- Match the code to the picture before ordering, not the other way around.
- The apricot reads warmer and less pale in daylight than on the listing's white background.
- Black and white are the safer first buys if you are unsure how the print scales on your frame.
Value, and what is still unconfirmed
At $8.51 before agent fees and shipping, the construction we received is priced far below what the fabric weight and print quality would suggest. The catch is evidence: we found no buyer-written reviews attached to this specific SKU. The only seller-service claim we located refers to a different Weidian Rhude-print listing, where buyers praise fast dispatch and repeat-purchase at each drop — encouraging, but not about this tee.
So treat the fabric, weight, finish and fit as our own hands-on findings, and treat long-term durability past two washes and three wear sessions as unknown. Six months from now the desk will re-order this collection, re-weigh the parcel and update this review if the cloth, the prints or the sizing band change.
Where it lands
A well-built, genuinely oversized cotton tee with a clean print and a wide colour run, undermined only by a size label you should not trust on its own. Confirm flat measurements, pick the code carefully, and this is easy value.
