Platoon Tee / Washed Bone

T-Shirts
$102may be out of stock

The verdict

A soft-white washed tee at premium-basic pricing; neutral but the white tone limits resilience to visible wear.

Fit

Washed bone is relaxed and comfortable. Expect the white to soften and gray slightly with time. Size true for an unrestricted fit.

Quality

Washed finishes on light bases age visibly—you'll see staining and color drift faster than on dark clothes. Otherwise, solid durability.

Price check

At $128, fair for the brand and finish, though white is higher-maintenance than darker washes.

Best for

Buyers in warmer climates or seasons; anyone comfortable with visible aging and patina on a white piece.

Care

Wash separately from darker colors. Lay flat to dry and avoid extended sun exposure to slow yellowing.

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.
