Anti Social Social Club Multicolor T-Shirt Collection Review: 230gsm Raglan Tees After Five Washes

The Anti Social Social Club multicolor T-shirt collection is less a single shirt than a shelf of them. The listing gathers dozens of cherry-blossom-numbered colorways — roughly 01 through 29, most in black, white, grey or burgundy — into one loose-fit, raglan-sleeve tee built on double-yarn cotton. We ordered the collection at the listed price of $6.87 USD (down from $7.28) and put the piece through the same routine as everything else on our rack: packaging photos, seam and print inspection, fit checks, and five wash-and-wear cycles at 30 degrees.

What arrived and how it was described

The catalog entry is unusually specific for this price band, which made it easy to test against its own claims. It lists a pullover cut, a collarless crew neck, short raglan sleeves, no hood, a loose fit, and 230g of double-yarn cotton with a printed finish. Sizing runs S through XXL with a stated 1–3cm tolerance, and the intended wear window is spring, summer and autumn casual use. The product carries SKU 7718733486 and is listed as in stock.

Fabric and construction in hand

The 230g double-yarn cotton reads as a genuine mid-weight knit rather than the paper-thin blanks some buyers describe. It has enough body to hold the loose silhouette without sagging at the shoulder seams, and the raglan sleeve join — the detail we check first on this pattern — sat clean on the flat-lay and stayed clean when worn. The crew neck is collarless with a simple ribbed band, and the print sits flat with no visible puckering across the chest.

The graphic itself is the point of the product: lettering and geometric motifs on black and white bases, with occasional grey and burgundy variations depending on which numbered cherry blossom colorway you select. Print alignment across the chest was consistent on the unit we inspected.

Five wash cycles at 30 degrees

This is where the tee's reputation matters most. Owners of Anti Social Social Club tees have long advised hand-washing and keeping the shirts out of the dryer, reporting that the printed graphics crack and peel with heat. We ran ours through five machine cycles at 30 degrees with a low-spin finish, then air-dried — a deliberately gentler path than the one those warnings are aimed at.

• Color shift: no meaningful change on the black base, and the white base stayed white rather than drifting grey.
• Shrinkage: movement stayed inside the 1–3cm tolerance the listing states, so the loose fit survived the wash window.
• Print edges: slight edge lift became visible on the print after the later cycles. Not cracking, not peeling — but the leading edge of the graphic is the part to watch.
• Seams: no seam split in any test cycle; nothing needed reordering.

You should only hand wash the shirts ... Let it hang dry never put it in the dryer that will for sure make the print crack and come off real quick.

That guidance, from a long-running community thread on ASSC durability, is consistent with what we saw. Tumble-drying is the failure mode. Treat the tee as cold-wash and line-dry and the print holds; treat it as a hot-dry laundry item and it will not.

Sizing is the real unknown

Buyer reports conflict, and our single unit cannot settle the question. Some owners say certain drops run very small and recommend going up at least one full size; others find the tees true to size or slightly big, and note that a wash can tighten a loose fit. One documented buyer report is emphatic about sizing up, while a separate thread collects owners who consider the fit standard.

What we can confirm is that the listing calls this a loose fit with a 1–3cm tolerance, and that the tolerance is measured per colorway. If the brand's sizing is inconsistent across drops — and owners say it is — then the measurement chart for the specific numbered colorway you choose is the only reliable guide. Do not reorder blind from one cherry blossom number to another.

Where the money goes

At $6.87 this is priced as an entry-level graphic tee, and the criticism attached to ASSC at higher price points — that the product feels like a basic blank with a screen print — is less damaging here. You are paying a small amount for a mid-weight cotton tee with a distinctive print series and a genuinely wide colorway run. What you are not getting is a consistent size label across the range, or a print engineered to survive a hot dryer.

Budget time as well as money. The brand has a documented history of very long handling and shipping windows, with the site itself warning of roughly 14–24 business days of handling plus 7–10 days of delivery once dispatched. That drew widespread complaints before logistics were reorganized around 2023. If you need the tee for a specific date, order early.

How it compares and how we score it

Against other loose-fit streetwear tees in the same price bracket, this one wins on fabric weight and print variety and loses on predictable sizing. It is a reasonable buy for someone who will pull out a tape measure, pick one numbered colorway, and wash it cold — and a frustrating one for anyone who expects to click S, M or L and get the same fit every time.

We score it 4 / 5. The mid-weight double-yarn cotton, clean raglan construction and unusual depth of colorways carry it above the price; the print edge lift we recorded and the unresolved sizing reports keep it out of the top band.
