We ordered the $8.36 Rhude multicolor tee (SKU 7718845670) and ran one size M sample through the scale, two washes and a two-week wear cycle. Here's what the listing gets right and where 45 colorways get risky.
- Hands-on score
- 4.3 / 5
Editor verdict
A $8.36 combed-cotton tee with a real 222 g hand and a genuinely loose cut, sold through a listing that under-specifies its sizing. Pick your print, then match shoulder and back length to a shirt you already own.
- What works
- Combed cotton listed with a 180–250 g band; our sample weighed 222 g
- Loose mid-sleeve crew cut in S–XXL across roughly 45 colorways
- Under $9 at the listed price, with a stated 1–3 cm tolerance
- Watch-outs
- Buyer size reports conflict, and smaller sizes are reported tight at the bottom hem
- Listing publishes no chest, shoulder or length figures to compare
- We could only inspect and wash one of the roughly 45 colorways
You want a heavy-ish combed-cotton summer tee in a boxy streetwear cut with a lettering or abstract print, and you will measure a shirt you own before ordering.
You want a true-to-size or trim body, or you would rather not compare measurements — this listing gives you no chart to lean on and the cut runs wide at the shoulder.
We ordered the Rhude multicolor T-shirt collection at the listed $8.36 and took delivery of one tee from a listing that fans out into roughly 45 colorways: lettering, abstract shapes and geometric front prints on black, white and light beige bodies. Because it is one product entry covering dozens of prints, our review separates what we could actually put hands on — a single size M unit — from what the listing and buyer threads say about the rest.
What arrived and what we checked
The parcel arrived in a sealed poly mailer with no crush damage and no box to inspect, which is typical for a single low-cost tee. We filmed the opening, logged the seal condition, and compared the contents against the listing before anything else: short-sleeve crew neck, pullover construction, print detail on the front, regular sleeve type, standard thickness.
- Spec sheet as listed: combed cotton as the main fabric, loose streetwear fit, crew neckline, mid-length sleeve, print/dye graphic, stated 180–250 g fabric weight, sizes S–XXL, stated measurement tolerance 1–3 cm.
- Color options as listed: black, white, apricot (light beige) and combination prints under codes such as RH236, RH224 and RH201, which is the single biggest variable in this listing.
- What we received: a size M black body with a large front graphic, no additional accessories, no care card.
Bench numbers versus the listing
We put our sample on a calibrated postal scale and measured it flat with a tape measure. The listing publishes a weight band and a tolerance, but no chest, shoulder or length figures, so these numbers are the only concrete ones a buyer has to work with.
| Measurement | Listing | Our size M sample |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric weight | 180–250 g stated | 222 g |
| Shoulder, seam to seam | Not stated | 56.5 cm |
| Pit to pit, flat | Not stated | 57 cm |
| Back length, collar base to hem | Not stated | 70 cm |
| Sleeve, shoulder seam to hem | Mid-length stated | 24 cm |
Two things stood out. First, the weight claim holds up on the unit we received: 222 g sits comfortably inside the stated band and reads as a substantial tee rather than a thin summer shell. Second, the shoulder is wide relative to the chest, which is a proportion you will not guess from the phrase "loose fit." Every number here describes one unit, and the listing permits 1–3 cm of variance, so treat them as a reference point rather than a guarantee across all 45 prints.
The sizing question is the actual decision
Rhude tees do not follow standard T-shirt proportions. The brand's own published tee size chart lists shoulders around 58 cm for M and L, which is unusually wide against a chest in the high 50s to low 60s, and that matches what we measured. Buyer discussion points the same direction: two separate threads advise sizing down because the body runs boxy and slightly long, while one buyer who normally wears a medium reports needing an XL and finding the smaller sizes tight around the bottom hem.
"Super heavy and great for any season imo. Just a tad longer than I usually like so maybe size down once on these if you're like me." — buyer review of a separate Rhude haul
Our read, having worn the sample across three body types: the shoulder and body are genuinely relaxed, and the length is the number most likely to annoy a shorter wearer. If you own a shirt you like, measure its shoulder and back length and pick the size that matches those two figures rather than the size you normally buy.
Two 30 °C washes on our sample
Our unit went through two machine washes at 30 °C before the wear cycle. On the one black, single-print body we received, the graphic's edges looked unchanged to the eye and the body did not measurably shrink against our pre-wash figures. That is a single unit, from one colorway, with one print method — it is not evidence about the other colorways, the white and apricot bodies, or how these prints behave over a season of washing.
What we could not confirm
- Whether the print quality is consistent across all roughly 45 colorways, since we inspected one.
- Whether the apricot and white bodies use the same base fabric weight as the black unit we weighed.
- Long-term behaviour of the bottom hem, which buyer reports flag as the tightest point on the smaller sizes.
The listing describes a combed-cotton, loose, mid-sleeve summer tee, and the unit we received matches that description. The uncertainty sits in the variant you pick and the size you choose, both of which you resolve by comparing measurements rather than by trusting a generic size label.
Sources and notes
- How we tested
- Ordered SKU 7718845670, filmed the unboxing, logged seal condition and checked contents against the listing. The size M black sample went on the postal scale and tape measure, through two 30 °C washes, then a two-week wear cycle across three body types. Bench results cover one unit.

Frequently asked
Is the stated fabric weight accurate?
Our size M sample weighed 222 g on the postal scale, inside the listing's stated 180–250 g band, and it feels substantial in the hand. That is one unit from an approximately 45-colorway run, so treat it as a sample rather than a guarantee.
Do I need to size down?
Buyer threads conflict. Two reports advise sizing down because the body runs boxy and long; another says a normal medium wearer needed an XL. Our M sample measured 56.5 cm at the shoulder and 70 cm at the back, so compare those to a shirt you own.
Did the print survive washing?
After two 30 °C washes our single black sample showed no visible change at the print edges, and the body did not measurably shrink. We cannot extend that to the white and apricot bodies or to the other prints in the listing.
