Hipobuy T-Shirts Guide

T-shirts are the entry point for most people who open a Hipobuy spreadsheet for the first time. They are affordable, easy to ship, and the QC criteria are relatively straightforward. In 2026, the trend has moved toward vintage-wash heavyweight blanks rather than thin graphic tees. The best factories now offer 280-320 GSM cotton with enzyme-wash treatments that mimic retail softness. When you are looking at a t-shirt row in the spreadsheet, the first thing to check is whether the listing specifies "retail blank" or "custom blank." Retail blanks mean the factory sourced the same base shirt as the authentic version. Custom blanks mean they replicated the cut and fabric independently. Both can be good, but retail blanks usually have more consistent collar construction and sleeve drape.
