The verdict
Fit
Charcoal smiley tees fit true to the kids' line standard—relaxed and roomy. The darker base may read slightly more grown-up.
Quality
Graphic execution is consistent; the smiley print shows good color separation and resists peeling through normal wear.
Is the price fair?
At USD 65, this sits at the premium end of kids' graphics tees; Aviator Nation's quality backs the price for statement wear.
Best for
Kids seeking playful, mood-expressing tees and parents who value quality graphics and color durability.
Care
Charcoal preserves the smiley's contrast well; wash cool and inside-out to maintain print sharpness and fabric color.
What owners report about Aviator Nation t-shirts
Owners describe Aviator Nation tees as very soft with a vintage, slightly boxy cut and raw-edge hems that roll a little; the pieces are hand-sewn in Los Angeles, which reviewers cite to explain the high prices. Fit feedback is consistent: the tees run small with a noticeably small neck opening, and owners size up. Quality reports are polarized — comfort and color draw praise, but reviewers on aggregate review sites report thin-feeling fabric, pilling, and shrinkage and dye bleed in the wash, which they call out as unacceptable at this price.
- Strengths
- Owners repeatedly praise the softness, comfort, and distinctive colors of the made-in-LA tees.
- Watch out for
- The most common complaints are thin-feeling fabric that pills, shrinkage and dye bleed in the wash, and quality that reviewers say does not match the price.
- Sizing
- Owners consistently report the tees run small — including a tight neck opening — and recommend sizing up, sometimes for extra length too.
