If the design is on the front, I can't tell if people are looking at the design or staring at my tits. And I kinda need to know who I should punch and who I shouldn't x)

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 2 points 5 days ago

I've always found this awkward because I stare at tits but they assume I'm reading their shirt

[–] hey@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

Fair enough

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago

Hell ya! Cause you didn't spend that much money on an uncomfortable bra to have those tatas ignored!

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

I think its really cool to have a big beautiful design on the back. I have a vety broad back tho so i might be biased but i think its clean to have the front be uncluttered.

[–] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Nah it's cool

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Mine are on the inside sometimes 😞

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I hate when that happens. Gotta be a manufacturing error. It happens to me all the time with spoons as well, I'm eating with one normally, and then suddenly it turns inside out and can't grab any soup!

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Enshittification has gone too far.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Long sleeves, design on the front, design on the back, design on the sleeves.

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Long sleeves on the front, short sleeves on the back

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I bet you're a metal fan that likes a certain drippy moon on their merch.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nah my favorite panel shirt is a Cryptopsy shirt. Which band has the drippy moon?

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Oh!! Haha no I'm not a fan.

Just wear it the other way around...

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Then it touches the front of your neck! 💀😭🪦🤮

[–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

can't have it all ;)

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 108 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Even worse when the design is that plasticky kind of decal rather than the one that becomes more part of the fabric

Basically makes the shirt unusable in summer

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

They also create weak points along their edge since it needs to bend more to make up for the stiffness of the plastic part. It'll start coming apart there before the neck frays.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Those use to be pretty popular when I was growing up, I hated them. So much so that I barely buy t-shirts these days unless its a free shirt from some company

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

These are known as Direct to Film or DTF (lol). They are quite literally a printed plastic sheet that’s melted to the shirt. Easiest way to check for this is to crease the shirt on the design. Screenprinted will reveal the shirt color underneath where DTF will be a solid sheet.

[–] hey@reddthat.com 19 points 1 week ago

I hate those

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 81 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (12 children)

Absolutely disagree. If I'm wearing a graphic t, I'd much rather the graphic be on the back. Graphic on the front feels trashy, ala 3 Wolf Moon.

Im almost always wearing some sort of a sweater/jacket/cardigan etc

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah. Shows your belly

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I’d rather have it in the back because sometimes the print feels stiff and uncomfortable and sometimes boobies stretch out the image.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

My issue with the back is I have long hair so my hair will cover the design! But the front my tits will make that image...real real stretchy.

Stupid human bodies!!

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They’re always on and under my boobs too?? Like it would be one thing if it was on my chest but there’s a big open area of nothing with a design only on or under my boobs? I think they’re just not made with women in mind 90% of the time even when it’s sold in women’s sizes

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

100%. we live in a man’s world.

I also hate when I check the sizing chart and the base shirt is a unisex cut Gildan.

Shit material that fits weirdly on any human body and when used as a silk screening blank, are overpriced as fuck for the quality they offer.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

If I had to guess, this avoids the classic case of staring at someone a little too long to read their shirt. The shirt design isn’t so much for the wearer, it’s a billboard to others. Also, printing on the front has much more noticeable texture than printing on the back which would make the surface a bit uncomfortable across the entire front as opposed to the back where you’ll hardly notice the feel.

Even the best screen printing techniques have at least a bit of feel to them.

[–] timestatic@feddit.org 22 points 1 week ago

I hate it when its the other way around. I feel like a fancy design on the back and minimalist one on the front has more flair. But this is clearly subjective

Omg same. And I often wear a button down over a t-shirt, which is mildly annoying with that configuration
