TumbleDryLow is the tee review section of the site. With these reviews i’m shooting for fully honest in-depth reviews of the products which i’m usually buying myself so if some element of the tee isn’t up to par I WILL talk about it. Transparency between you and your customer is huge in building a long term fanbase I think this should cross over onto this blog and how I review these tees. On with the show!

Casualty Classics - Halloween (glow in the dark) - $12.00


CC has been around for a little while now and i’ve been checking them out from time to time. With their newer stuff they’ve changed their style up a bit (you’ll see what i mean when you check out their store) this tee is from their original line. Pretty straightforward 2 color design that i’m sure you can make out from the picture. I’m not totally sure what kind of blank it’s printed but but I want to say Tultex? it’s got the thin, soft cotton feel of one of the many American Apparel substitutes, but with a more ‘classic’ boxy tee fit. The print is plastisol and fairly thick but for glow in the dark ink I don’t think they would have had a choice. The glow in the dark effect is subtle (my camera couldn’t pick it up at all!) which I actually think is a plus since I, personally, don’t want to walk around looking like a jack-o-lantern. No special labeling, but it did have a bobby pinned hang tag which was a nice touch. The only negative with experience was my order took about 2 weeks to show up, but they took notice of that and threw in a free shirt and note apologizing so all is well. Again, letting your customer know they’re dealing with real people goes a long way…had my tee shown up late with no note or freebie they probably would’ve lost a customer right? They did what they had to redeem themselves in the eye of a repeat buyer. The free tee thrown in the order is a (at the time of writing) unreleased collab with another NY based line Brooklyn Circus. The plastisol print here has a much softer hand feel so one could assume all their newer items are of a similar quality.

verdict: 3 out of 5
BUY!
