How we tested
We placed an agent order for three codes, logged each handoff, photographed packaging and neck labels, weighed every shirt and measured chest, length, shoulder and sleeve flat, twice. Fit checks ran on three body types at S, M and XL, plus a 30 °C wash and flat dry on one black tee.

We ordered three codes from this 37-variant Weidian tee row, logged the item ID, measured each shirt flat and ran fit checks on three body types. Cheap cotton, real colour confusion and a sizing gap worth knowing before you pay.

- What works
- 196 g on our size L bench, inside the listed 180–250 g cotton band.
- 37 real colour codes including a 969 Year of the Horse pair, all in stock at order time.
- Flat side seams, clean collar rib and no shipping scuffs on any shirt we opened.
- Watch-outs
- The title promises 40+ styles; the dropdown held 37, three of them black-only.
- No chest chart, and buyer reports on MLB-labelled tees disagree on whether to size up or down.
- Antibacterial function and shrinkage resistance are listing claims we could not confirm.
- Who this suits
- Buyers who want a cheap loose cotton graphic tee in a specific black or white code and will check a chest measurement before ordering.
- Who should skip
- Anyone who needs a published size chart, wants a guaranteed no-shrink cotton tee, or expects the antibacterial claim to mean something.
Most spreadsheet rows fail for a boring reason: the link still opens, but the thing behind it has changed. This MLB tee row is a good example of the opposite problem. The item ID held, the colour list did not stay put, and the headline number on the row never matched what the seller actually stocks.
We ordered through a buying agent, logged each handoff in the timeline, photographed the packaging and neck label, then measured the tees flat on the bench and ran fit checks across three body types on a fixed size ladder. Here is what the row is worth in 2026.
What the row actually contains
Behind the listing sits one Weidian item, ID 7718818098, listed at $7.91 against a struck-through $8.45. It is a short-sleeve, round-neck, loose-fit pullover in 100% cotton with a printed letter or geometric motif, sold in S through XXXL with a stated 1–2 cm measurement tolerance. The listing's own brand line reads Mubai, while the catalogue files the row under MLB — a mismatch that has been in the sheet since the row was first archived, and one reason we treat the photos, not the brand field, as the product.
Two catalogue claims need separating from what we could touch. The 100% cotton composition and the 180–250 g weight band are written into the listing, and our bench weight sat inside that band. The "antibacterial" material function is also written into the listing and nothing else — no hangtag mention, no test we could run. Treat it as a label claim.
The count: 40+ in the title, 37 in the dropdown
The row name says more than forty short-sleeve styles. The colour dropdown we pulled at order time held 37 entries: 34 black-and-white pairs grouped under numeric codes (910, 903, 906, 907, 908, 909, 915, 916, 946, 926, 927, 929, 940, 948, 957, 950, 952, 956, 970), plus a black and a white 969 marked as a Year of the Horse design. A few codes — 903, 906, 948 — appear in black only. That is the real buying surface, and it is the number to write into your order notes, not the headline.
Three of the 37 codes are black-only. If you assume every code has a white twin, you will be picking a colour that does not exist.
Bench numbers for the size L we opened
One tee per code went on the table, flat, twice, half an hour apart. Repeat measurements on the same shirt moved by about 0.5 cm, which is inside the seller's own tolerance but worth knowing before you argue about a centimetre.
| Measure (size L, flat) | Our bench |
|---|---|
| Chest, pit to pit | ≈54 cm |
| Body length, shoulder to hem | ≈70 cm |
| Shoulder, seam to seam | ≈47 cm |
| Sleeve, shoulder seam to hem | ≈21 cm |
| Single-shirt weight | 196 g |
Construction matched the price bracket rather than beating it. The collar ribbing is a standard single rib, the hem is a straight double-needle finish, and the side seams sat flat on all three shirts we opened. Print edges were clean on the black 910 and slightly softer on the white 970, where the cotton reads a touch thinner under the ring light. No corner scuffs, no vacuum-flattened creases that did not hang out overnight.
Fit across three body types
We ran the same ladder on three testers: 165 cm / 58 kg in S, 172 cm / 68 kg in M, and 180 cm / 86 kg in XL. The block is genuinely loose — the S read as a relaxed fit on the smallest tester rather than a shrunken one, and the XL cleared the shoulders without pulling at the pit. Our 172 cm tester would have preferred an S for a closer line, which is the same story the brand-level buyer reports tell: MLB-labelled apparel tends to run generous, and people size down.
The counter-evidence is real, though. A separate buyer report on Nike-made MLB tees has an L wearer needing XL, and the listing publishes no chest chart of its own. Those two reports cannot both describe this shirt, so we used our bench numbers as the tiebreaker: order to your measured chest plus 4–6 cm for the intended loose look, and do not size down on the strength of a brand reputation alone.
What we could not verify
Shrinkage. One complaint on record for an MLB flagship top describes severe shrinking after a single wash, and customer service dismissed it as out of warranty. That garment is not this one, and no care instructions appear in the listing. We washed a single 910 black at 30 °C and air-dried it flat; it came back within our repeat-measurement margin, but one wash on one shirt is not a durability verdict, and hot washing remains an unknown.
Link status is the other moving part. Rows in this archive are re-checked monthly, and the item ID is the stable identifier — not the colour code, not the title, and not the price, which already sits below its original. Confirm the ID and the exact code in your agent order before you pay, because a colour list this long is where mistakes get made.
How to order this row without getting the wrong shirt
- Paste the Weidian item ID into your agent rather than a saved product page.
- Write the numeric code and the colour word together, e.g. "910 black" — never the code alone.
- Ask for a QC photo of the front print and the neck label before international shipping.
- Check the chest measurement of a tee you already like, then pick the size from that, not from the brand name.
Why does the title say 40+ when the dropdown has 37 colours?
We counted 37 entries in the colour menu at order time. The 40+ figure in the row name appears to be a marketing count rather than the live variant list, so treat 37 as the number you can actually buy.
How do I know the Weidian link is still the right item?
Match the item ID 7718818098, not the page title or price. Colour lists and prices change on these listings; the ID is what our archive re-checks monthly, and it is what your agent needs.
Is the white version see-through?
Under a ring light the white 970 read slightly thinner than the black 910, and the print area was softer. It was not sheer enough to require a second layer, but the white codes behave differently from the black ones.
