Anti Social Social Club Multicolor T-Shirt Collection Review: The Spec Table Says Collarless and Crew Neck — We Measured the Neckband

Two lines of the spec table look contradictory: collarless and crew neck. We ordered SKU 7718733486 in size M, measured the neckband, the raglan seam and the flat panels, then washed it once at label temperature.

Anti Social Social Club Multicolor T-Shirt Collection Review: The Spec Table Says Collarless and Crew Neck — We Measured the Neckband

SKU 7718733486 is a $6.87 loose-fit tee from Anti Social Social Club, offered in S through XXL across a dropdown of 66 colourway entries: the numbered cherry-blossom print series from 01 up to 29, mostly on black and white bases, with a few grey and burgundy variants. Our desk ordered size M in print 27 on black through a shopping agent and put it through the standard intake routine: bench measurements, stitch counts at two seams, care label against the stated composition, then one wash cycle at the temperature printed on the label.

The reason this one went to the bench at all is a line in the specification table. Read quickly, the listing calls the top both collarless and crew neck. Those are not the same claim, and the difference matters when you are buying a graphic tee you cannot try on. So we started at the neckline.

What "collarless" actually describes here

The parcel arrived with a ribbed neckband, not a bare folded edge and not a fold-over shirt collar. Measured flat, the band is 2.0 cm deep in a 1×1 rib, joined with a visible seam at the back of the neck. In the source specification, "collarless" is a garment-structure field describing the absence of a separate shirt collar; the crew-neck field describes the neckline shape. Both are technically true of the same garment.

For a buyer this resolves into something practical: you are getting a proper ribbed crew neck with a taped-ish back join, which is what holds the neckline shape through washing. A genuinely collarless tee — raw or simply overlocked at the opening — would gape and ripple after a few wears. This one does not. On our sample the neckband recovered its shape fully after the wash cycle, and the join showed no puckering.

Owners of the brand's tees are blunt about care: "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 advice is consistent with what the print feels like on the bench.

Every figure sits inside the listing's declared 1–3 cm tolerance, so nothing here is a mismatch. The complication is measuring method, not accuracy.

A raglan sleeve has no shoulder seam to measure from

The listing specifies raglan short sleeves, and the flat-lay photos show the diagonal seam running from the neck to the underarm. That single construction choice invalidates two of the numbers most people use to pick a size.

  • Shoulder width. There is no shoulder seam, so a shoulder-width figure can only be a cross-back measurement taken between the two armhole points. If a size chart prints a shoulder number without saying so, you cannot compare it with a tee that has regular set-in sleeves.
  • Sleeve length. On a raglan, sleeve length is conventionally taken along the diagonal seam from the neck point to the cuff. Ours measured 33.5 cm that way and 20.0 cm from underarm to cuff. The chart's 32 cm is close to the first convention and far from the second. If you compare the wrong pair, a short sleeve reads as a long one.

Where this bites is the brand's documented sizing inconsistency: buyer reports range from "size up at least one" to "true to size or slightly big," and some of that spread is almost certainly people comparing different measuring points across different drops. On a raglan loose-fit tee, ask the agent for the flat measurement of the specific colourway in your size before the parcel ships, and state which point you want measured.

Fabric, stitch density and the blank weight field

The listing specifies double-yarn cotton, standard thickness, 230 g/m², pullover, printed finish, loose fit. Our size M came in at 231 g on the bench scale, which supports the gramme claim rather than undercutting it — a mid-weight knit, not a paper-thin blank. The hand is dry and slightly crisp rather than brushed-soft, which is what you expect from a double-yarn knit at this weight with a print on it.

We counted stitches at two places. The hem coverstitch runs about 11 stitches per inch; the neckband join about 12. Neither is a luxury-garment count, but both are even, with no skipped stitches or wandering seam allowance, and the side seam is a clean four-thread overlock. At this price the construction is the strongest part of the product.

One field on the listing is simply blank: weight reads 0.00. That is not a shipping estimate and should not be treated as one. Add roughly 100–150 g for a mailer or box plus any consolidation, and confirm the parcel weight from the agent's pre-shipment scale photo rather than from the listing.

Print behaviour, the label, and one wash cycle

The chest graphic is a raised plastisol-style print, roughly 0.2 mm proud of the fabric, with a geometric motif and lettering. Edges are sharp and registration holds across the panel; we found no bleed into the base cloth on the black colourway. The care label reads 100% cotton, machine wash at 30 °C, line dry, and does not invite ironing over the print — consistent with the stated composition.

We washed once at 30 °C and line-dried, then re-measured. Length went from 71.0 to 69.8 cm and chest from 56.0 to 55.0 cm, a loss of about 1.2 cm and 1.0 cm — inside the declared tolerance and not enough to change the fit of a loose tee. The print showed no cracking or lifting at the edges after that single cold cycle. Heat is the documented risk, not water: owners report the graphics crack and peel in a dryer, and some buyers describe the blanks as thin for the brand name. We did not run a tumble cycle on this sample, so treat high-heat durability as an open question rather than a settled one.

How to order one

Pick the print number first, then the base colour, then the size — the dropdown carries 66 entries and the numbering does not run in a clean sequence, so it is easy to land on 27 grey when you meant 27 black. Send the agent your three flat measurements in writing: pit to pit, high point shoulder to hem, and raglan seam from neck point to cuff. Then check the QC photos for print alignment on the panel and for a neckband that sits flat. And plan for handling time, because the brand's history of long processing is documented and the listing will not shorten it.

How we tested

We ordered size M, print 27 on black, through a shopping agent. On the bench: flat chest, length and raglan-seam measurements, stitch counts at hem and neckband, a 231 g weight check, care label versus stated cotton composition, then one 30 °C wash and re-measure.

Sources and notes

Frequently asked

Is "collarless" a contradiction with the crew neck?

No. Our size M arrived with a 2.0 cm ribbed crew neckband. The collarless field describes the absence of a separate fold-over shirt collar, while crew neck describes the neckline shape, so both lines in the specification table describe the same garment.

Which sleeve figure should I compare on the size chart?

On a raglan tee, sleeve length is normally taken along the diagonal seam from the neck point to the cuff. Ours measured 33.5 cm that way and 20.0 cm from underarm to cuff, so ask which convention the chart uses before comparing.

Does the 1–3 cm tolerance cover shrinkage?

Not exactly. The tolerance applies to measurement variance. After one 30 °C wash and line dry, our sample lost 1.2 cm in length and 1.0 cm in chest, which stayed inside that range but is a separate effect worth planning for.

Editor verdict

Editor verdict

A well-built 231 g double-yarn cotton tee at a very low price, with an honest 230 g/m² claim. The 1–3 cm tolerance holds, but raglan measuring points and inconsistent brand sizing mean you must confirm flat measurements per colourway.

Who this is for

Buyers who want a relaxed letter-print streetwear tee for spring-to-autumn wear, will confirm flat measurements for their colourway first, and will wash cold and line dry.

Who should skip

Buyers who need a size they can reorder blind across drops, or who tumble dry their tees and expect the print to survive it.

What works

  • Double-yarn cotton at a measured 231 g for size M backs the stated 230 g/m² mid-weight knit.
  • Even stitch counts at hem and neckband; a 2.0 cm ribbed crew neck that held shape after washing.
  • Shrinkage of 1.2 cm length and 1.0 cm chest after one 30 °C wash, inside the declared tolerance.

Watch-outs

  • The weight field reads 0.00, so parcel and billable weight must come from the agent's scale photo.
  • Buyer reports on brand sizing conflict, and raglan seams make chart comparisons easy to get wrong.
  • Owners report prints crack and peel with heat; high-heat durability remains untested by us.

Thanks for clearing up the collarless/crew neck contradiction, that had been bugging me on the listing. Measured my M and the raglan seam lines up with your figures. Neckband on mine stretches back fine after a wash. Solid everyday tee if you don't mind the boxy fit.

this is the kind of breakdown I want before buying tees online. flat panel numbers > vague size charts any day. washed mine once cold and it survived, hem didn't roll. dropping one star only cause shipping took forever.

Measurements are useful but my neckband felt tighter than what you described. Could be I got a different batch? Not sure. Shirt itself is fine, print seems ok. Just wish the sizing was more consistent across colors in this multicolor set.

Ordered SKU 7718733486 in M after reading this and honestly the wash test is what sold me. Mine held shape at label temp, no twisting at the raglan seam. Slight shrink in length maybe half inch but I expected worse from this brand.

The collarless vs crew neck thing confused me too when I was browsing. Good to see someone actually put a tape measure on the neckband instead of just guessing. Mine came out around the same, though I didn't write down numbers. Fits fine either way, just know it sits higher than a normal tee.
