We ordered the black Casablanca graphic tee, weighed it, measured the raglan seams and washed it five times. Mid-weight cotton and a crisp print, but the numbered-only variants and split sizing reports need checking first.
4.0 / 5
Editor verdict
Mid-weight cotton, clean raglan seams and a crisp front print in a genuinely relaxed cut: good, not flawless. Numbered-only variants, split sizing reports and unverified after-sales support hold it at 4 / 5.

Who it suits
Buyers who want a loose, mid-weight cotton crewneck with a bold front graphic for summer streetwear, and who will check the measurement chart and variant artwork before ordering.
Who should skip
Anyone needing a slim, tailored fit, a single confirmed size answer, or documented after-sales support — the listing publishes no garment measurements and return terms depend on the shopping agent.

Our desk spends most of its week on jade, loupes and specific-gravity rigs, but the routine travels well: weigh the piece on arrival, photograph it before the tags come off, measure it, wear it, log it. That is what we did with the Casablanca graphic print black T-shirt in casual streetwear style, a relaxed pure-cotton crewneck listed at $8.81 USD against an original price of $9.27, SKU 7718753246, marked in stock.
We ordered the black variant in size L through a shopping agent, logged the parcel on arrival, weighed the shirt on a 0.001 g scale, measured the chest, hem, body length and sleeve seams with digital calipers, then wore it for 14 days and put it through five home washes to watch the print.
What the listing states, and what arrived
| Item | Listing | Our sample |
|---|---|---|
| Brand / SKU | Casablanca, 7718753246 | Matched |
| Price / availability | $8.81 USD, original $9.27, in stock | Item line confirmed at order |
| Fabric | Pure cotton, print dye process, standard thickness | Cotton hand-feel, no elastane stretch |
| Stated weight | 250 g | 214 g total on our scale (size L) |
| Neckline / sleeves | Description: crew neck, short sleeves. Spec sheet: collarless, raglan sleeve | Raglan seams from collar to underarm |
| Fit | Loose, pullover, no hood, 1–3 cm tolerance | Relaxed through chest and hem |
| Sizes / colors | S–XL; dozens of numbered black and white variants | One black variant tested |
| Chest, flat | Not published | 57 cm |
| Body length | Not published | 71 cm |
| Hem, flat | Not published | 56 cm |
Two listing details are worth flagging before you order. First, the written description says plain short sleeves while the spec sheet says raglan; the sample we received has raglan seams, so the spec sheet is the more reliable of the two. Second, the published sizes stop at XL, and no chest or length figures are given, so the 1–3 cm tolerance statement is the only accuracy guidance in the listing.
Bench notes: fabric, seams and print
The knit reads as a mid-weight cotton jersey rather than a heavy one. Held to light, the black body shows no obvious thin patches across the shoulders, and the collar rib held its shape after five washes and 14 days of wear under a backpack strap. Stitching along the hems and cuffs was even, with no loose thread ends on our unit; we checked both cuffs and the back neck tape at 10x.
The front graphic is the reason to buy this shirt, and on our sample it came through cleanly: solid colour blocks, sharp edges between the geometric and cartoon-inspired elements, no visible misregistration at the colour boundaries. After five warm washes inside out and air drying, we recorded no crazing, no lifting of the print edge and no meaningful fade — which matters, because print dye processes on dark cotton are usually where budget graphics fail first.
Buyer reports on Casablanca shirts echo the hand-feel we logged: "They are thick and 100% cotton. Not the thickest I've had, but super close. Print quality of the graphics is A+." A second thread rates the tees as excellent and close to the original.
Treat those as brand-level reports about Casablanca shirts generally, not as verified claims about this listing. No buyer thread we found addresses this SKU specifically.
Fit: the one place we cannot give you a firm answer
Sizing reports on Casablanca tops split, and our own sample does not settle the argument. One detailed reviewer found the brand's tops slightly oversized and suggested sizing down for a tailored fit; other buyers report true to size. At 57 cm across the chest flat and a 71 cm body length, our size L sat clearly relaxed on a 178 cm, 74 kg wearer — closer to a loose streetwear drape than to a standard large. If you want a slim silhouette, this cut is not the tool for it.
Because the listing publishes no garment measurements, compare the numbers above with a tee you already own and add the stated 1–3 cm tolerance before you commit.
The variant problem
The range runs dozens of options labelled only by number and colour — from 90 down to 37, each in black or white. Nothing in the naming tells you which artwork you are buying, so the code has to be matched against the product photographs and, ideally, against the seller's own images of that exact code. On a graphic-led tee, that is the single largest source of order error.
Price, shipping and after-sales
The $8.81 figure is the item line only. Service fees and international shipping are confirmed separately at checkout with the shopping agent you choose, so the landed cost is higher and varies by destination and shipping line. For context, mainstream retailers list comparable Casablanca graphic-print crewnecks between roughly $191 and $326, though those are different styles, made in Portugal and sold with full retail terms — not this listing.
After-sales is the weak point. One retail buyer reports a defect after minimal wear and says Casablanca refused a replacement. That is a single report rather than a pattern, and it concerns retail purchase rather than an agent order, but it is the only documented support experience we found. Get the agent's return and dispute terms in writing before ordering, because a graphic tee bought this way is unlikely to carry the retail replacement route.
What we still cannot verify
- Whether the 250 g figure refers to fabric weight per square metre or something else. Our 214 g size-L sample is consistent with a mid-weight knit, not a heavyweight one.
- Whether the artwork on other numbered variants matches their photographs, since we tested a single black code.
- How the print holds past five washes, or how it behaves in a hot dryer, which we avoided.
- Whether sizing drifts between production batches, given the 1–3 cm stated tolerance.
Where the evidence is uncertain, we have said so rather than smoothing it over. On the sample in front of us, the shirt delivered what the listing promised: cotton, a loose cut, a sharp front print and clean seams. The friction sits in variant labelling, published sizing and after-sales — three things you can check and settle before you pay, not after.
