All of your T-shirt designs and artwork are amazing! You all put a lot of hard work and dedication into them. I’m interested in buying one soon, but I haven’t found any designs that really resonate... See more

Excellent quality t-shirts with awesome designs. Don't be put off by the price, because they last so much longer than other cheap brands. Especially love the discord community aspect!

Only just short of the mark

The design was absolutely stunning (the starscourge) the fit is nice and the material is very breathable, my one complaint would be that after an hour or so of wear the collar starts to sag. As a big guy I don't like falling into the stereotype of looking like a slob, which in my opinion slack collars on shirts help to perpetuate. That being said I cannot fault the prints and will most likely look to getting a zip up hoodie instead in the future

Quality shirts

Fantastic quality. Really had high hopes for the shirts I purchased after finding these guys online and let me tell you, they definitely didn't disappoint. There's bound to be a design that you like on there and they have such a broad variety whether that be TV shows/gaming/anime.

Hi Nathan

So, we've never had an email from you about this concern. Had you of emailed us we would of kindly pointed out that what you purchased was a PREORDER item. This information is written very clearly on our products description on our website along with that we even give an estimated dispatch date (29th July - 09th August). So in response to your update of insults. Your order hasn't shipped yet because its a preorder. This information is very clear.

In regards to your outrage of our shipping prices it's something I do understand to a degree. International fully tracked shipping is expensive. Whatever way you slice it there is a cost. This isn't something we can control and simply put, if it's an 'insult' to you, why purchase?

International shipping is based off of weight and the base line for this is a high cost (but honestly reasonable considering it's more to get items from the USA to the UK untracked let alone tracked) but the more you order the cheaper it becomes per unit, makes things a lot more reasonable. We also advise this to all our USA customers such as yourself.

I will reach out via an email also concerning this issue since we've yet to ever hear from you regarding your problems with this information. We're also incredibly happy to provide you a full refund if you wish and cancel the order.

Great!

Always love the designs on these shirts. They hold up great! I do wish there was like a darker greyish color over black offered. Only cause i have pets and black shows all the hair! Shirts are always great quality. I do have to scale up since they arnt as stretchy as id like them to be.

I hear that. Honestly i have 2 black labs so the vast amount of black t-shirts is probably my subconscious thinking exactly the same thing hahaha. I kid, but in all seriousness we are aware though black is the most demanded that we've done a lot and do aim to offer more colours/ shades very soon :)

High quality material and prints done…

High quality material and prints done with high standards. It took relatively quick to ship my purchase from USA to England. Only issue I had was that they seems to keep low stock and they run out of products I really wanted. Still I can't recommend enough and I WILL come back as a customer!

Great designs

Great designs, well priced especially in the sale. I have 4 designs now and the most recent Ahsoka is just fantastic. So glad Jim at Fulcrum and the Force wears this in his review videos or I'd have never found you.

Gorgeous art, print didn't hold up

Received a Hard Times shirt as a gift a while back. Gorgeous thing, got the Hawks and Tokoyami print from My Hero Academia.

We followed the washing instructions as labelled, however the print started to bobble and flake off after a couple of months. It's now, unfortunately, relegated to a drawer to stop the print flaking all over my other shirts.

I tip my hat to the artists that make the designs as they really are stunning, and the shirts are well sized and super comfy. I can't recommend based on my experience though, as I've got a shirt with the print scuffed and falling off.

Hey Adam, that t-shirt hasn't been on sale for years unless you got it as a Mystery T-Shirt. It was only printed once regardless which means it was printed in around 2019.

The only way normally the print would bubble or flake so quickly would be because it's generally been exposed to some form of heat.

We have a more in detail way to wash our product to protect the print for longer on our website here:
https://hardtimesclothing.co.uk/pages/sizeandwash

Screen printing in general though it's by far the best form of printing you can get for garments has its downsides. That being its weakness to higher temperatures. The real pro strategy in that is not only to keep it cool but to turn it inside out when washing.

As what you have is such an old garment of ours it was also printed on our old garments (gildan premium) which we no longer use. We've upgraded the garment quality astronomically since then which does help the print adhere better to the garment.

I really appreciate your review, apologies for taking a bit longer to reply. We hope to one day be able to prove our product is worthy of 5 stars :)
