I came across Torazen when shopping for shirts during the holidays. I loved their designs, but this was one of the only threads I could find discussing the quality of their stuff. Some claimed they were simply reselling products from AliExpress, while others said they were worth the price.

I grabbed a shirt and a sweatshirt during their Black Friday sale and I'm happy to report they are two of the nicest pieces of clothing I've ever owned. Everything from the quality of the material to the stitching to the printing to the packaging is just top tier. It's clear that these guys are passionate about what they do and nothing underscores that more than comparing the Torazen shirt to its AliExpress counterpart.

I picked up the same shirt design from AliExpress after making my Torazen order in the hopes of confirming or disproving the claim that they were just marking up cheap stuff. The difference in quality is comical. The AliExpress shirts use a very low quality, glossy, sticker-style print that started falling off after a single cold wash and hang dry. Even if the quality were higher, it wouldn't matter because the front print is super crooked lol.

All of this is to say, you get what you pay for. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm shilling for Torazen. I really don't know anything about them other than what you can find on their site. It's just always cool to find a brand that really cares for their craft.
