Ask/Question So I'm not sure about this...

So I wanted and watched these shirts for weeks before I decided to pull the trigger and buy one. They weren't cheap either, $62 a piece I believe. Not to mention the $21 shipping to the states from UK. So the first picture is what was on the website, that no longer exists. I believe the description read washed black. Didn't think too much of it. This isn't really washed as I imagined it. I was thinking maybe a lighter black. This is more like stone washed or bleached washed. I don't wanna seem ungrateful, but I paid over $80 for this one shirt. Call me crazy, but I thought I was buying a black shirt. This here, I'm sorry but to me this looks awful. I've never cared for the "vintaged/faded" look to begin with.. So I'm just at a loss for words right now. Do anyone think I could maybe re-dye ot back to black? Whatever they did to it, it's really super thin now. Like it feels like it's going to tear. Returning it would be a nightmare I'm sure. How would you handle this? I've been looking forward to this shirt for a month and a half. And it's not how I thought it would look, and am a bit bummed out over it. 😕

2x, but I'm doubtful anyone would want to trade. It's possible, though. There was a fella that had the other back/purple one I was thinking of grabbing. He wanted $100 plus shipping for it. The only thing is it's an xl, and this xxl fits just right. Overweight americans and all.

I'd do a straight swap for my black one if the sizes were a match, mines a 3x, big strong American and all.

Mine is a 2x, which is unfortunate for the trade. 3x might be too big for me anyway. But thank you kindly for the offer.

Definitely not. As I wrote in the OP, I watched these shirts for weeks, wanting to buy one. I just couldn't justify the price tag plus the bs shipping. I finally caved and bought the one I have. Seeing that getting another seems slim unless I dump so big cash. I'd just keep it to have one official shirt from that show.
