What owners report about John Elliott t-shirts

Forum owners on Styleforum and NikeTalk discuss the tee range mostly as a fit question: most cuts are reported true to size, owners commonly size down one on the oversized models for a regular fit, and the Co-Mix and all-cotton versions are said to run slightly smaller than the other fabrications. Owners report little shrinkage because the fabrics come pre-shrunk, provided the tees are washed cold and hung to dry. Criticism of the brand centers on price and after-sales service: one detailed owner account of a John Elliott garment wearing through in the armpits after two wears concluded the brand "has incredibly poor quality goods" and reported the company ignoring repeated complaints across email and social channels.

Strengths: Owners report consistent, well-documented fits across the tee lineup with minimal shrinkage when care instructions are followed.
Watch out for: Premium pricing draws mixed value sentiment, and at least one detailed owner account describes a garment failing after two wears with no response from customer service.
Sizing: Most of the tees run true to size; size down one on the oversized models for a regular fit, and expect the Co-Mix and 100% cotton versions to run slightly smaller than the other fabrics.
