I was expecting more of a softer feel for the vinyl instead it's hard and stiff and probably won't wear it much cool shirt just not worth the price

Brilliant product

Brilliant product. The tee shirt is really good quality. Delivery took a little while but that was down to passing through international customs etc, but don’t be put off by that. I think from ordering to delivery it was something like 14 days which is nothing really. Overall, really pleased. Would recommend.

Ill fitting and poorly made

Some of the illest fitting and poorly made t-shirts I’ve ever had. Weird stitching errors and inconsistent sizes. I bought 3 x XL shirts and one of them is at least 2 inches shorter than the other two. Another has an odd seam in the middle of what should be a round colour making it more like a v neck. Designs were all iron on plastic which will 100% crack and peel off after a few washes. All arrived crumpled together in one tiny bag from China ( took over a week to arrive). If I’d bought them from Temu for a fiver each I wouldn’t be complaining, but at £17 each I would not recommend at all.

The sizing is way off

The sizing is way off. I ordered a large and I usually wear medium tee shirts. It shrunk so bad in the wash it was smaller than a medium when it was done. It also was extremely baggy for a tee shirt. I would not purchase from here anymore. Unfortunately I do not have my order number but I ordered a large may the 4th be with you tee shirt with black sleeves

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your honest feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, even when it’s disappointing.

We’re really sorry to hear about the sizing issues and the significant shrinkage after washing. A T-shirt shouldn’t end up smaller than expected and feel overly baggy before washing—that inconsistency is frustrating, and we completely understand why this has left you hesitant to order from us again.

To help us investigate what went wrong (whether it’s a production variance, fabric issue, or care instructions that weren’t clear), could you please share your order number? If you could not find the order number, may we know the email under this order? So we can check further for you.

Your input is invaluable as we work to improve fit consistency and material quality.We respect your decision deeply, and we’re truly sorry we didn’t meet your expectations this time.

Best regards,

Size choice is an issue

Order process(ing) was OK - delivery time OK. Size, however, was not. I live in Europe and my size is XL, but the delivered items are the equivalent of an XXL in Europe. When I put on one of the 3 ordered T-shirts, it is as if I am wearing a tent. Way too wide and quite short to be honest. Not everyone is an American, you know...

No shrink warning

Consider ordering two sizes larger as the shirts do shrink. The cotton is not pre-shrunk. I did receive a refund for the shirts I ordered. I emailed them with no response. Once I left a negative review they were quick to contact me and refund my money. This is a genuine review. The retro tee seems to be trying to get the review removed because it is negative. Trust pilot asked to give more details or it may not be recognized as a real review so here are the details. I ordered 3 shirts at $29.99 a piece. The shirts took a long time to arrive. When I received them they had a chemical smell so I washed them and dried on low setting. The 3 shirts size XXL shrunk down to a large size and I could not wear. Reached out to their customer service team via email and received no response. I then in turn left a bad review here, on trust pilot, to which they responded, only after I left a bad review. Their customer service team member asked for proof of shrinkage, basically calling me a liar. Pretty insulting. After a back and forth they apologized and issued a refund. Then they asked for me to change my review stating the bad cotton material. All in all they accused me of lying then asked me to lie. Use caution when ordering through the retro tee. Also it was only a partial refund.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for reaching out—and we’re so sorry to hear about your experience. It’s incredibly disappointing to hear that all three XXL shirts shrank significantly after washing and that the fabric didn’t meet your expectations. That’s certainly not the quality or experience we aim to provide.

To help us investigate this issue thoroughly, please share your order number with us or email to support@theretrotee.com so we can check it further. We’d like to look into what happened and understand how we can make this right.

We truly appreciate your honesty, and we’re here to listen.

Utterly awful

Utterly awful, A heat press print that is way too big for the shirt, and makes the shirt uncomfortable. Cheap in every way.

(I will offer that they gave me a partial refund after this was posted).
