Has anyone ordered shirts from Kevin Eastman's website?

Just wondering if any TMNT fans have ordered t-shirts from Kevin Eastman's site? Ive ordered maybe 4 thru the years but only now started wearing one of them. It's just I was wondering if the quality of them and especially the shirts images on the front, if they'll survive the laundry? I know they tell you with a note to flip the shirt when cleaning them. It's just the images seem to be like printed on by a computer or something like you'd see a shirt vendor at a convention making shirts on the fly. It just seems like a flimsy almost plastic image on the shirt. I just wonder if anyone else has gotten shirts from Kevin and if they've lasted after multiple cleanings?

I got one for Christmas and am just now wearing it for the first time today. It had special wash instructions, like turning inside out and and a couple other things.

I don’t plan on wearing it often, since I also don’t want it to wear out. But I’ll remember this thread if I notice it going to ****.

Well I just cleaned one of them shirts from Kevin and mine suffered from the laundry. I flipped the shirt and put it on normal cycle. I forgot about it saying it should be gentle cycle and my shirts image seems to have faded where it wrinkles up the most when I was wearing. It already looks like the shirt is an older shirt. After seeing this I've no idea if even gentle cycle would've saved it from this cleaning. This was the shirt wear it says TMNT vertically and each turtle was in the letters. It was cool looking and now it looks worn out already. Too scared to wash my other shirts from Kevin. Ones the turtles with Batman and the other is Leo with Marvel's Thor from Walt Simonson's classic cover of Thor and Beta Ray Bill. The batman one is like the other shirt where it seems the image is plastered on like a film or plastic. The Thor one seems different almost an inked on image. I don't know like I said if gentle cycle would've made a difference. Guess I'll worry when the time comes I wear and need to clean the other shirts one day.

Yeah, all of these are basically made to order. Don't expect a long life from them.

You guys really spend $30 on a T-shirt? No single logo would ever make me spend $30 on a T-shirt even if was re-washable.

I'm in Canada so these shirts costed practically twice that after conversion and shipping fee. Kevin refunds back some money once they find out what shipping actually is. But yeah it sucks about the shirt.

Lately no. But I’ll admit I have in the past

When comic expo came to my city they had a huge t shirt station and the flash is my fave character and I have a massive Flash comic collection.

Flash shirts are hard to find, so I got like 5 Flash shirts. It was expensive. Probably 150 bucks for all 5, but I still wear them to this day. Sometimes it’s worth it

But I haven’t done it in years

Although I did just get a new Edmonton oilers shirt for 25.00 the other day lol

lol we’re on a forum literally discussing ninja turtles, but you draw the line at wearing a super hero or ninja turtle shirt outside lol?

I wear polos during the week when I go to work. Weekends when im chillin around the house, or just going out to get groceries I wear super hero shirts all the time
