T-Shirts — Litbuy Spreadsheet Buying Guide

T-Shirts are the easiest entry point for new buyers. The catalog covers blanks, graphic prints, vintage-inspired designs, and heavyweight tees. In 2026, the most important metric is fabric weight. 240GSM+ shirts feel premium and hold their shape after washing. The second priority is print quality: screen-printed graphics last longer than heat transfers. Collar ribbing is also a key indicator of quality.
