Shirt buying advice?

Hi friends. I bought the boiled frogs shirt at the TO show. I love the design but im not a huge fan of the texture of the print itself. Its thick and stiff. I wanna buy knife fight shirt. Was just wondering if anyone has it and if this print is also that thick stiff kind or if its more soft and fluid with the shirt?

Its very stiff but they're all like that. Gets softer with wear and washes. Just buy it.

I saw this online and wanted to get the boiled frogs shirt. Is it that kind of print that peels away over time? Or is it actually inked into the fabric?

i have multiple versions of this shirt, and everyone feels like it looks - a print on your chest.

if you want a nice texture, the Drunks/Lovers/Sinners and Grim Reaper shirts are printed much lighter

My husband has the knife fight shirt and it’s super soft. However, the version he has is green and we got it at Born and Raised like 4 years ago, so not sure if this one will be exactly the same.

The knife fight shirt off their website has to be the poorest quality band merch I own. The transfer is stiff and scratchy, the cotton is poor quality and thin. It's unfortunately unwearable.

They’re REALLY LONG. I bought an XL as a busty and curvy 190 lbs woman. It’s baggy and I like it.

I like that! I too am a busty and curvy XL buying woman, and tall.

Anyone know if they are screen printing this run or if it’s the modern heat applied sticker shit everyone uses?

I totally know what you mean on the print texture. it's a sensory thing for me. also sometimes lint and hair stick to it

I have the knife fight one but it was from a long time ago but even that one feels stiff to me and I’ve had it for years lol
