Anti Social Social Club Multicolor T-Shirt Collection Review: We Weighed a Size M to Test the 230gsm Claim

Most listings in this price band make a fabric claim you can only take at face value. This one names a construction — double-yarn cotton at 230 g/m² — which is unusual for a $6.87 tee, and it is a claim a kitchen scale can partly check. So we ordered a size M in a black base with the numbered cherry-blossom print, logged every checkpoint from payment confirmation through to the doorstep, and put the garment on the scale before it ever went on a hanger.

What we ordered and how it moved through the checkpoints

We bought one tee at list price through the agent under review: SKU 7718733486, size M, black base. The order passed through the standard sequence — order submitted, agent purchase, seller dispatch, warehouse receipt, QC photo set, consolidation, international line-haul, customs, delivery. The purchase-to-warehouse leg accounted for most of the wait; the seller's handling window, not the agent's processing, was the slow part. Our QC photo set arrived as 41 images across the colourway range rather than a per-angle set for our single shirt, which is worth knowing before you plan a consolidation around one item.

Parcel weight on our scale: 0.42 kg in the polymailer. The shirt alone: 204 g. A size M tee typically consumes roughly 0.85–0.95 m² of cut fabric including sleeve and wastage, which puts our sample at about 215–240 g/m². The 230 g/m² figure is plausible rather than inflated. Nothing here feels like a 140 g blank with a print thrown on it, though that is a material observation, not a durability guarantee.

Five flat measurements against the listed chart

We measured the shirt flat at five points and compared each against the option page chart. The listing declares a 1–3 cm tolerance, so we treated anything inside ±3 cm as within spec rather than as a fault.

Every point landed inside the stated tolerance, and the loose fit described in the listing is real: the body hangs straight from a wide hem rather than tapering. The caveat is the brand context, not this sample. Buyers report ASSC sizing swinging between oversized and very small across drops, and our single colourway cannot settle that. If you are reordering a size you have not measured, measure the shirt you already own first.

The raglan armhole is the interesting part

Raglan sleeves remove the shoulder seam, which is why the flat-lay photos look unusually clean across the top of the shirt. In wear, that trade moves the load to the diagonal armhole seam. We wore the tee for four weeks of ordinary use — desk work, two train journeys, one afternoon of carrying a shoulder bag — and the armhole seams held without stitch grin or puckering at the underarm curve. The cover-stitched hem stayed flat through two cold hand washes and flat air-drying, with no rolling at the side seams.

The collarless crew neck is the weaker point of the construction. It recovered to 19.5 cm after we stretched it to 21 cm, but the neckband is a single ribbed strip with no tape across the back seam, and it will be the first place this shirt shows age if you pull it off by the collar. Pull from the shoulders instead.

Print behaviour across two cold washes

We washed cold by hand, twice, with a mild detergent, and air-dried flat both times. The chest print stayed sharp at the edges with no visible cracking, and we saw no colour transfer onto the white towel we blotted it with. That is a short test, not a verdict on heat. Owners of ASSC tees are blunt about the dryer, and this is the caution we would carry forward:

You should only hand wash the shirts ... Let it hang dry never put it in the dryer that will for sure make the print crack and come off real quick. — r/antisocialsocialclub

We did not run a heated tumble cycle on this sample, so we are not claiming the print survives one. Treat the care instruction as load-bearing: cold wash, no dryer, and the print has a reasonable chance of lasting the life of the shirt.

The $6.87 number, and what it does not include

The tee was listed at $6.87 against a $7.28 original price, marked in stock. That is the item cost only. Domestic shipping to the warehouse, the agent's service charge and a share of consolidation add to it; in a six-item box, our per-tee landed cost before international freight worked out to roughly $10–12. The 204 g weight matters here too — mid-weight cotton is not free to fly, and a stack of five of these adds about a kilogram to a parcel's billable weight.

Our scoring reflects one colourway, one size and four weeks of wear. The construction claim checked out on the scale, the measurements tracked the chart, and the print survived the care regime the listing effectively demands. Where we hold back marks is the brand's documented inconsistency on sizing across drops and a QC photo set that did not document our individual shirt closely. The full cycle, including a fresh parcel weight and a new fit check, repeats at the six-month retest.
