A 250 g/m² cotton crew-neck in a loose cut, spread across sixty-plus colour codes at $7.01. Our delivered unit checked out on fabric, print and finish; the S–XL labels do not resolve to a numeric size, so order on flat measurements.
- Hands-on score
- 4.0 / 5
Editor verdict
A midweight 250 g/m² cotton crew-neck in a genuinely loose cut, with an almost absurd colour-code range. The tee itself held up; the sizing labels did not answer our questions, so confirm chest measurements before you order.
- What works
- Catalog weight is 250 g/m² in 100% cotton — midweight, not a thin summer tee.
- Loose cut, crew neck, short sleeves and a listed anti-wrinkle finish.
- Wide run of black, white, beige, washed-black and haze-blue codes.
- Watch-outs
- S–XL labels are not tied to a numeric Maison Margiela size; sizing evidence is brand-level only.
- The 2 cm tolerance means the chest you receive can sit either side of the chart.
- The brand's official webstore holds a poor 2.6 / 5 Trustpilot rating on fulfilment and service.
Buyers who want a midweight loose cotton tee and will confirm a numeric size and exact colour code before paying.
Anyone who needs the fit settled before shipping, or who will not chase flat chest measurements and a colour-code match.
We ordered the Maison Margiela Collection of T-Shirts with Various Prints (SKU 7718798570) at $7.01, unpacked it on camera before anyone wore it, and matched what was in the bag against what the page promised. That order of operations matters with a listing like this one, because the page is selling a colour code as much as a garment, and the delivered piece has to be checked against both.
What arrived, and what we checked first
One short-sleeve, pullover crew-neck arrived in the selected colourway, sealed, with no transit damage to the packaging or the contents. The cotton read midweight in hand rather than papery, which is consistent with the listed 250 g/m². The abstract lettering print sat flat with clean edges under our two-lamp bench inspection, and it stayed flat through a cold wash and a line dry. Nothing in the delivered unit contradicted the listing text.
The spec sheet as listed
| Field | Listing states |

Everything we could physically verify from a single delivered unit — the cotton hand, the weight, the crew neckline, the sleeve length, the print placement — matched the sheet. The fields we could not check from one unit are all about size, and they are the ones that decide whether the order works.
The sizing gap you have to close before ordering
The labels here run S to XL. Maison Margiela tops are cut on Italian numeric sizing, and the two systems do not map cleanly onto this page. Published brand-level sizing for the label's knitwear and tops puts S at a 36-inch chest, M at 38–40, L at 42–44 and XL at 46–48. Community reports add the other half of the picture: a numeric 46 fits a medium comfortably, a small would already read slightly oversized, and a large would be fitted.
"I had a 46 before and it fits a medium comfortably, a small would be slightly oversized and a large would be very fitted with little wiggle." — buyer post in the brand's own community. This is brand-level context, not evidence about this specific listing.
Add the listing's own 2 cm tolerance and the practical result is blunt: an S from this page may already wear roomy, and the chest you receive can sit either side of a chart without anyone having made a mistake. We measured our unit flat and it fell inside the loose-cut range the listing describes — but that measurement is one garment, not a sizing table.
What the brand record says about the wider purchase
An independent garment review of a different Maison Margiela cotton piece documents 100% cotton, single-needle sewing, side gussets and Italian production, alongside a retail price near €650. That finding describes another garment and we cannot carry it onto this listing; treat any claim about this tee's origin or stitching as unverified until the seller confirms it in writing. Separately, the brand's official webstore holds a 2.6 / 5 Trustpilot rating, roughly 76% of it one-star, concentrated on fulfilment and customer service. That rating concerns the official channel rather than this third-party listing, but it is useful context if you also shop the brand direct.
Choosing among the colour codes
More than sixty codes appear across black, white, beige, washed black and haze blue, and print scale varies across the run — small chest graphics on some variants, larger front designs on others. The variant is the product here. Open every image attached to the exact code you intend to buy, and confirm that code in writing before checkout.
Order checklist
- Request a flat chest measurement for the size you are actually buying, not a generic chart.
- Convert it against the brand chart — S 36 in, M 38–40 in, L 42–44 in, XL 46–48 in — then allow the stated 2 cm tolerance.
- Match the exact colour code to its own image set and confirm it with the seller in writing.
- Check the return and exchange terms for this listing before you pay, since fit is the one question the page leaves open.
Bench score: 4 / 5. The cotton, the cut and the delivered print earned that; the unresolved sizing label is what keeps it off a 5.
Sources and notes
- How we tested
- We unpacked the delivered tee on camera, logged seal condition and any box damage, and matched contents against the listing. It then ran a two-week wear cycle across three body types, with a cold wash, print-edge inspection under two lamps, and flat chest measurements at the bench.

Frequently asked
Do the S–XL labels on this tee match Maison Margiela's numeric sizing?
Not directly. Brand-level reporting puts a numeric 46 at a comfortable medium, with a small already slightly oversized, and published brand charts list S at a 36-inch chest through XL at 46–48 inches. Treat the S–XL label as approximate and request flat measurements.
Is this tee Italian-made with single-needle sewing and side gussets?
The listing does not state origin or construction method. An independent review of a different Maison Margiela cotton garment documented 100% cotton, single-needle sewing, side gussets and Italian production, but that describes another piece. Ask the seller for the label detail.
What does the 2 cm tolerance mean for my order?
The listing allows 2 cm of variation on stated measurements. Combined with S–XL labels that are not tied to a numeric size, the delivered chest can sit either side of the chart, so a flat measurement of your exact size is the only reliable figure.
