Ratings published in the official YouTube description: Quality 3/5 (open-end cotton, rough feel); Price Point 5/5; Colour Selection 5/5 (60+ colours); Stock Levels 5/5; Style 2.5/5 (classic boxy fit); Overall 4.1/5.
The description says it is best for promotional giveaways, work uniforms, large-quantity orders, budget-conscious projects, and screen printing, and not ideal for retail/resale, premium branding, or everyday comfort wear.
