Summer Reversed Cropped Tee / Washed Black
The verdict
Fit
Cropped silhouette with reversed seams, identical to the other Summer Reversed tees. Black is the most forgiving color for everyday wear.
Quality
Washed black construction. The color is excellent for hiding fading; the reversed seams hold well through washing.
Price check
Bestseller status is well-earned for this cut and color combo. $138 is defensible if you style the cropped length intentionally; a splurge otherwise.
Best for
Men committed to the cropped aesthetic who want black's versatility paired with a vintage-inspired silhouette.
Care
Black denim rules apply: cold wash inside-out, gentle cycle, air-dry. Washed blacks fade less noticeably than raw blacks.

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.
