Merch Review: Merch by Amazon Premium Shirt (Updated)
UPDATE 4/5/23: I closed my Merch by Amazon (MBA) account due to the awful print quality I received since my first review of MBA’s “premium” shirts. Notice in the pictures below how the blue ink has bled into other areas.
Notice the blue ink bleeding into the adjacent areas in the shirt on the right.
Below is my original review of the Merch by Amazon Premium Shirt.
A child size shirt in medium (10-12), Baby Blue.
Overall Score: 4 out of 5
Pros:
Print quality - for a print on fabric: the colors are bright, gradients are captured, and lines are sharp. Feels like a silkscreened print.
Shirt quality - feels soft and comfortable, but not so thin that it feels cheap. Bella + Canvas is the brand.
Cons:
Sizing - Bella + Canvas shirts run small, so be sure to review sizing chart and pick a larger size for more breathing room.
Slight off-color - under certain lighting conditions, you can see a slight off-coloring around the design, similar to an iron-on. It’s visible in the picture above.
I had fairly high expectations after seeing some reviews on YouTube. I’m pleased to say the praise was justified. Overall, a very nice shirt and print job.
As many have already mentioned in the reviews, Bella + Canvas shirts run small and are a little snug.
