I bought this for myself and I love the concept. The print quality is good but after the first wash I noticed a tiny bit of fading around the edges. Still looks great overall, just not perfect.
The design is perfect for my teacher/coach husband. The material is a bit thinner than I expected though. It's still comfy, just not as thick as I'd like for cooler days.
I really like the shirt, but the color is a bit more faded than the picture showed. Still a great design and super comfy though. Just wish it was a little brighter.
Love the message and the fabric feels great, but it took almost two weeks to arrive. Not a huge deal because it's worth it, but just a heads up if you need it for a specific date.
The shirt is really soft and the print is nice, but I wish it was a tad bigger. I ordered a medium and it fits more like a snug small. I'd recommend sizing up if you like a looser fit.
