Whitesville t shirt experience

Hi everyone! I'd like to know your opinions on the Whitesville t-shirts.

Do you recommend them? I'd particularly like to know your opinion after some time of use. Have they improved with use and aged well? After time do you think they're worth it? I'm looking for a 50's look, similar to Marlon Brando's look from that era. Also, is the collar of the t-shirt too restrictive? I particularly prefer more open and relaxed collars. If you have any insight, or any other data, it would be very helpful.

I just got it and really like it. However the neck may not be what u are looking for. I have a FreeNote shirt that feels more like the neckline.

This is new whitesville and am as curious in their aging aspect as well.

I've had them for a few months and they're great quality for the price. One thing to note is the fit of my black one is significantly more snug than my navy one. Curious to know if others here have the same experience.

My black fits a full size down from my white despite being the same size tag. I remember emailing HPA about it.

Very good T-shirts from this brand. Comfortable, soft 7 oz cotton. I have it in white. I wore it actively for a year and nothing happened to her. Keep in mind that after washing, it will shrink by about an inch in length.

I had them in black, gray, blue and white. The measurements are the same

I’ve noticed this is a somewhat common phenomenon - I believe reading that the dying and heating process required to produce the black will invariably lead it to be slightly smaller than its counterpart.

Interesting. If I ever get my hands on the white ones, I'll know to size accordingly.

Whitesville t-shirts are high quality and capture that 1950s Marlon Brando look. The fabric is thick, softens nicely over time, and holds up well after many washes. They age well without losing shape. However, the collar is quite snug and high, not very relaxed. If you prefer an open neckline, that might be a downside. Overall, they’re worth it for the vintage aesthetic and durability but not the best if you prioritize a looser collar.

Go away, ChatGPT.

Do you all think the Whitesville T-shirts sold on eBay are legit? I ordered some. I love the way they fit. I'm a bit surprised at how much thinner they are compared to my million-mile T-shirt from Iron and Resin (it was the 2 pack). I wish I had taken a picture of the package, which looked slightly different from what you see on Self Edge and other websites. It shipped from Japan. I was debating whether it is worth it to purchase directly from third-party websites like Self Edge or Redcast, etc.

I got a 2 pack from Japan for around $70 shipped and they are 100% legit. Great value shirts. Mister Freedom Stanley are my favorites, but Whitesville are a great everyday shirt at a good price
