We ordered the Stussy letter-print black tee in size L and measured it against the listed chart. Midweight long-staple cotton, relaxed cut, $8.06 — but print durability stays unverified, so confirm print method with your agent first.
We ordered the Stussy letter-print tee in the 873 black colorway, size L, through our agent and tested it on the bench in Austin. The listing is SKU 7718808120, priced at $8.06 with $9.46 shown as the pre-discount figure, and marked in stock at the time of writing. It is a plain pullover: black body, short sleeves, crew neck, white lettering graphic across the chest that combines the brand name, a run of city names and a circular emblem.
What arrived and what we checked
The parcel reached our warehouse and we photographed the packaging before opening, as we do with every order. Inside, the tee was folded and bagged with no hanger or branded box, which is normal at this price point. We then ran the standard garment pass: soft tape measurements across five points, a scale reading, a visual check of stitching and print edges, and a comparison against the size chart published on the listing.
| Check | How we tested | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Chest, flat | Soft tape across the underarm seam, garment laid flat and smoothed | Within the stated 1–2 cm tolerance |
| Shoulder width | Seam to seam across the back | Within the stated tolerance |
| Sleeve length | Shoulder seam to cuff, laid flat | Within the stated tolerance |
| Body length | High point of shoulder to hem | Within the stated tolerance |
| Weight | Digital scale, size L | Consistent with a 250–300 gsm body |
| Visual inspection only, no wash test | Clean edges, method not confirmed |
Nothing drifted past the 1.5 cm threshold we flag for a size chart discrepancy. That is the practical question most buyers ask about any rep tee, and on this unit the answer was no.
Fabric and hand feel
The spec sheet lists pure long-staple cotton at 250–300 gsm with a non-iron finish, and functions listed as breathable, wrinkle-resistant and moisture-wicking. On the bench, the fabric reads as a solid midweight for a graphic tee — heavier than the thin blanks common at the bottom of the market, lighter than a heavyweight boxed tee. The surface is smooth rather than slubby, and the drape is soft with enough body that the shirt does not cling.
Wrinkle resistance is the one listed function we could form a view on without a lab: after a day folded in the parcel bag, the tee hung out with only faint creasing at the sleeve folds. Buyers of Stussy cotton reps describe the blanks as soft and fairly thick, which matches our impression — but treat that as a category-level report, since it covers many listings rather than this one.

The chest graphic
The print sits centered and level, with crisp letterforms and no visible misregistration on our unit. Edges are clean where the white ink meets the black cotton, and we saw no smudging or haloing under raking light. We did not wash or stretch the shirt, so we cannot speak to how the graphic behaves at 20 wears.
Public reports on Stussy tees regularly raise chest prints wearing over time, and nothing in this listing addresses its print method. That gap is the main open question on this product, and it is worth one message to your agent before you pay.
One small note on the spec sheet: the pattern field is translated as "cartoon" while the product copy and photographs show lettering and an emblem. We read that as a translation artifact rather than a mismatch, but it is the sort of field worth confirming if you are ordering a colorway you have not seen photographed.
Fit, sizing and colorways
The catalog lists a loose fit. Our size L wore relaxed through the chest and body without looking like a tent — closer to a standard streetwear cut than an exaggerated oversized one. Guidance on Stussy sizing generally says true to size already gives a relaxed look, and that sizing up is only worth it if you want an even baggier result. That matched what we saw.
Size range is S through XXL. The color run is unusually deep, spanning the 848 to 918 series in black, white, royal blue, red, green, beige, purple, yellow, grey and brown shades, so reordering a shade you already like is straightforward. The listing is pitched at casual wear and notes teenagers as a target wearer, though nothing about the cut is age-specific.
Care and shrinkage
It is listed as 100% cotton, and 100% cotton Stussy tees are widely reported to shrink in the wash. Hand wash or hang dry, or allow room by sizing up. The stated 1–2 cm size tolerance also matters here: if you want an exact fit, that tolerance plus potential shrinkage is the combined variable to plan around.
What we could not verify
- Print method and its durability under repeated washing.
- Whether the fabric weight sits at the top or bottom of the listed 250–300 gsm band.
- Consistency of measurements and print placement across colorways, since we tested one unit.
We scored this tee 4 out of 5. The physical garment held up well on the bench for the money, and the unknowns are ones an agent conversation can resolve before you commit.
