The verdict
Fit
Expect the brand's typical roomy, dropped-shoulder fit rather than an athletic cut; true to size for the relaxed look.
Quality
Likely standard cotton jersey construction consistent with the brand's other tees — fine for regular wear, nothing specialized.
Is the price fair?
At $90 the price leans on the label and license; the construction itself doesn't stand out enough to justify the premium.
Best for
Cubs fans who specifically want this brand's design over typical team merch.
Care
Turn inside out and wash cold to keep the print from fading.
What owners report about ESSENTIALS t-shirts
Reviewers describe the tees as heavier and more substantial than typical basics at this price point, which is called out as the line's main quality signal. The fabric is treated as delicate rather than tough: wash guides warn that heat from a washing machine or dryer can shrink the shirts, so hand-washing cold and air-drying is the recommended care routine. The cut runs boxy and oversized rather than fitted.
- Strengths
- The heavier cotton weight is repeatedly cited as the reason the tees feel like better quality than similarly priced basics.
- Watch out for
- The fabric is treated as shrink-prone under heat, so machine washing hot or tumble drying is flagged as a risk.
- Sizing
- The fit runs boxy and oversized; guides recommend sizing down one full size for a trimmer look, or staying true to size for the intended relaxed silhouette.
