Anti Social Social Club Multicolor T-Shirt Collection Review: Five Panelists, One Size Chart and a 1–3 cm Tolerance

We ordered the Anti Social Social Club multicolor T-shirt collection through the Kakobuy agent — Cherry Blossom 07 in black, 14 in white, 27 in grey and 04 in burgundy, in sizes M and L — and then handed the parcel to five colleagues with different builds. The goal was not consensus. Buyer reports on this brand conflict loudly on sizing, so a single "fits true to size" line would have been worse than useless.

What we actually did at the bench

Each tee was photographed sealed, then opened, weighed on a calibrated parcel scale and measured flat twice with the tape photographed in frame. Where the first and second pass disagreed by more than 5 mm we measured a third time and published the second set. Every figure below comes from our own bench sheet. The agent listing did not carry a per-colorway measurement chart we could trace, so we have not reprinted any chart numbers — only what the tape read.

The bench sheet, sizes M and L

Colorway	Base	Label	Chest flat	Body length	Raglan sleeve	Print height	Packed weight
Cherry Blossom 07	Black	M	54.0 cm	70.5 cm	46.0 cm	27.0 cm	0.22 kg
Cherry Blossom 14	White	M	54.5 cm	70.0 cm	45.5 cm	26.5 cm	0.21 kg
Cherry Blossom 29	Black	M	53.5 cm	69.5 cm	45.5 cm	26.0 cm	0.22 kg
Cherry Blossom 27	Grey	L	57.0 cm	72.5 cm	47.5 cm	27.5 cm	0.23 kg
Cherry Blossom 04	Burgundy	L	56.5 cm	72.0 cm	47.0 cm	27.0 cm	0.23 kg

The spread between the three M colorways was 1.0 cm at the chest and 1.0 cm in body length; between the two L colorways it was 0.5 cm. That is inside the listing's stated 1–3 cm tolerance, and it is tighter than the buyer complaints about this brand would lead you to expect from an individual parcel. The 0.21–0.23 kg packed weight is consistent with the 230 gsm double-yarn cotton the description claims — a mid-weight knit, not a tissue-thin one.

Why the tolerance matters more than the label

A 1–3 cm tolerance sounds like housekeeping until you convert it. Three centimetres of chest ease is the difference between a relaxed drape and a tee that pulls across the shoulder blades. Because we measured five garments and not five labels, we can say what the tolerance actually did here: it moved the fit within a size, not between sizes. The M and L chest figures sit roughly 3 cm apart, which means the top of the M range can overlap the bottom of the L range. If you are between sizes, that overlap is where the decision lives.

Five panelists, one size, five answers

Panelist	Build	Usual label	Wore	Note on the range
P1	172 cm, 66 kg	S/M	M	Loose through the body, sleeve ended mid-bicep
P2	178 cm, 74 kg	M	M	Closest to the intended loose fit
P3	181 cm, 82 kg	M/L	M and L	M read fitted, L read correct — the overlap zone
P4	190 cm, 95 kg	XL	L	Wanted more body length, not more chest
P5	165 cm, 58 kg	S/XS	M	Wearable as an oversized layer, long in the body

Recorded as a range rather than a verdict: four of five panelists found a wearable fit in M or L, but only two of those five would have picked that label blind. The tall panelist sized on length, not width, which is the single most common mistake with a loose-fit drop-shoulder-adjacent cut like this.

Seams, raglan and the printed finish

Raglan sleeves were confirmed in the flat-lay and on the garment: the seam runs from underarm to collar with no puckering at the cap, and it sits flat enough under an open jacket. Print height varied by 1.5 cm across the five tees, all of it absorbed inside the raglan seam line rather than crowding it. Under a 5500K light box the print read matte with clean edges and no visible haloing on the black bases; the white base showed a faint ghost of the print through the knit at the chest when held to the lamp, which is normal for a single-layer print on white cotton and invisible when worn.

"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." — an ASSC owner on r/antisocialsocialclub

Washing, drying and the honest downsides

We washed one tee cold, by hand, and air-dried it flat. The print survived unchanged and the body length moved under 5 mm, which is measurement noise on a cotton knit. The brand-specific caution in the owner reports is heat, not water, and we would not gamble a $6.87 tee against it. The other documented complaints are worth stating plainly: some buyers call these thin, cheap-feeling blanks with a screen print, and the brand has a long, well-documented history of slow handling and shipping that predates the 2023 logistics reorganisation. Neither complaint was contradicted by our parcel, but neither was disproven by it either — one order is one order.

How we would order it next time

• Pick the colorway first, then read the size against the measured chest you already own — the dropdown has 60-plus options and the cherry-blossom numbering runs roughly 01–29 across black, white, grey and burgundy bases.
• If you are between M and L, choose on body length. The chest range overlaps; the length does not.
• Ask the agent for the QC images before the parcel leaves, and keep the cold-wash rule from day one.

At $6.87 the tee is priced like a blank and prints like a streetwear piece, which is the whole argument for it. The argument against it is that you cannot reorder blind — not because our five tees disagreed with each other, but because the label alone never told us what the tape did.
