One listing, roughly 45 print variants on the same combed-cotton body, at $8.36. We wore it, measured the L flat and washed it three times at 30°C. The cut is genuinely boxy; the sizing advice is not settled.
The Rhude multicolor T-shirt collection is not one T-shirt. It is a single listing carrying roughly 45 print options on the same combed-cotton body, listed at $8.36 against a $9.20 original price and still marked in stock. We ordered two colourways — RH236 in black and RH239 in apricot — in size L, and put them into ordinary rotation rather than treating them as display pieces.
What arrived, and what the tape said
Both shirts came through our agent's warehouse line and were checked against the QC photographs before the parcel was consolidated. Neither was boxed or bagged individually, and the packaging added almost nothing to the parcel weight.
| Specification | Listing figure | Our measurement (size L) |
|---|---|---|
| Main fabric | Cotton, combed cotton named | Soft cotton hand, no elastane detected |
| Fabric weight | 180–250 g/m² band | Black 194 g/m²; apricot 187 g/m² |
| Shoulder (seam to seam) | Not published per size | 57 cm |
| Chest, flat pit to pit | Not published per size | 61 cm |
| Back length | Not published per size | 73 cm |
| Sleeve from shoulder seam | Mid / half sleeve | 23 cm |
| Garment weight | Shipping weight recorded as 0.00 | 218 g |
| Sizes offered | S, M, L, XL, XXL | L tested on two samples |
Two details matter here. The fabric sits inside the stated 180–250 g/m² window but in the lower half of it, so this reads as a solid summer tee rather than the heavy winter cotton that buyer threads often describe on Rhude tops generally. And because the listing's weight field is effectively blank, our agent had to estimate the parcel from photographs — factor that into any shipping quote you build around it.
The cut is faithful, and unusually wide through the shoulder
Rhude's own published tee chart lists roughly 58 cm across the shoulder for M and L, 61 cm pit to pit and a 74 cm back length at L. Our size L came in at 57 cm, 61 cm and 73 cm. Two of those three numbers land within a centimetre of the brand's chart, which explains the recurring complaint that normal medium wearers need a larger size — the shoulders are cut wide before anything else is considered.
On a 178 cm, 82 kg tester the hem sat low on the hip with no waist taper, and the 23 cm sleeve finished around mid-upper-arm. The listing calls that a half or mid sleeve in its spec sheet and a short sleeve in its description; the tape says mid. If you want a conventional short sleeve, this is not it.
Prints after three 30°C washes
We washed both shirts three times at 30°C and air-dried them flat between measurements. The black sample lost about 1.5 cm in body length and the apricot about 1.0 cm — roughly 2% on the back measurement, and consistent with the listing's stated 1–3 cm tolerance. Neither print cracked, lifted at the edge or transferred onto a white towel in the machine. The lettering had a slightly stiff screen-print hand out of the parcel that softened after the first wash.
Our two samples are two of roughly 45. The colour list runs black, white and apricot solids alongside combination prints such as apricot-green, apricot-red, black-blue, black-yellow and white-green. Ink coverage and graphic alignment are set per colourway, and we cannot vouch for the other 43 from two garments.
The sizing argument the listing does not settle
Buyer discussion is genuinely divided, and the split is between length and volume. One haul reviewer who praised the weight advised going down a size for length:
Super heavy and great for any season imo. Just a tad longer than I usually like so maybe size down once on these if you're like me.
Another thread is blunter — Rhude "fits really big in t shirts" — while a third buyer, normally a medium, reports needing an XL and finding the smaller sizes tight around the bottom hem. Retail listings disagree too: several describe Rhude tees as designed for a boxy fit and true to size, others tell shoppers to size down. None of that resolves your own numbers. Compare the listing's chest and shoulder figures against a tee you already own and decide from there.
Bottom line
At $8.36 for a print tee that survives three washes without cracking, the arithmetic is hard to argue with, and the cut is closer to Rhude's own chart than the price suggests. The cost lives in the uncertainty: 43 untested prints, a blank weight field and a size question two buyer camps answer differently. We will re-order, re-measure and re-score this listing on our six-month retest schedule.
How we tested
Two colourways ordered (RH236 black, RH239 apricot), size L. Each worn more than 20 hours indoors and on the street. Measured with steel tape and digital calipers; fabric swatch weighed on a calibrated scale. Washed three times at 30°C and air-dried, then re-measured. Compared against two tees in the same price band.

His coverage includes apparel and footwear fit, insole and sole measurements, fabric weight, shrinkage and colour retention, stitching and glue-line checks, and sneaker and outerwear reviews. Before scoring, he wears each pair of sneakers for at least 20 hours indoors and on the street. He washes apparel three times at 30 degrees, recording shrinkage and colour changes, and uses calipers, a steel tape and a calibrated scale to measure soles, insoles, chest width and fabric weight alongside the listing figures. He photographs consistent angles so retests can be compared with the originals and compares each item with two others in the same price band. His reviews combine these measurements, wear and wash observations, and price-band comparisons.
Does the $8.36 price cover the whole colour range?
No. The listing is one product with a colour selector, so the price applies to the option you choose. Ordering several prints multiplies both the cost and the parcel weight, and the recorded shipping weight is blank, so ask your agent to estimate.
Should I size down on this tee?
Buyer threads commonly advise sizing down because the body runs boxy and slightly long, and one haul reviewer did so for length. Another report has medium wearers needing an XL, so compare the listing's chest and shoulder figures with a shirt you own first.
What did three washes at 30°C do to it?
The black sample shortened about 1.5 cm in the body and the apricot about 1.0 cm, inside the listing's 1–3 cm tolerance. Neither print cracked, lifted or transferred, and the slightly stiff print hand softened after the first wash.
