| **Review — Ally (March 3, 2026)** | "I love this shirt! It's the perfect oversized fit to wear with leggings. It is great material also. If you want it more fitted I would get your normal size. I am very happy with my purchase!" |
| **Review — Ben (May 21, 2025)** | "This is a great design and the shirt feels great however the problem being is the neck area feels a bit snug almost like a dress up shirt. I would say to order a size up from what you normally wear. I ordered a 2x and the neck feels too snug for a tshirt. It almost feels like a turtleneck." |
| **Review — David Williams (October 26, 2024)** | "Great quality and design. Best band tee I've owned." |
