The shirts that I received do not look like the item description photo in regard to fabric, print technique, or colors.  Is this a nuance in manufacturing or did the Seller not upload their own item photo for accuracy?  I am frustrated with Sellers on Amazon not uploading genuine photos of their products, instead, they use pre-existing item photos (sometimes stolen photos of already popular, well-known merchandise) and then fulfill the actual order with a cheap knock-off or "replica" product.  This appears to be the case with these shirts and I will be returning all three that we purchased.  I got one for each person in our family, because we're so fetch.

The sellers item photo is a handsome vintage wash, maroon tee shirt with a flat, single layer ink print, not a thick adhesive, for the image.  This helps to maintain a more breathable shirt, especially one that has a large design on it.  I very much prefer this type of single-pass technique over the less-breathable, heavy and very thick appliqu method.  I tried to get this across in my review photos that the design is raised and feels like rubber, it's likely to melt off or crack (like most cheap shirts with this thicker print method).  I think if done well the thinner layer print style lasts longer even though it may fade, ever-so-slightly, over time.  Also, it doesn't feel like you're wearing a body condom.  These thick, stamp-on tees make me sweaty and uncomfortable, so I never knowingly purchase them.  I HATES IT.

Anyhow, I'm tired of HP knock-off items that just pay their licensing fee (if they pay it at all) and sell a total junk product. Not happy with these dumb shirts; they're also not even maroon, they're burgundy.  Maroon is more red, burgundy is more toward violet.  The "gold" is not even a soft goldenrod-yellow,  (nothing against sunflower yellow when done right, tho) but this is more like sunflower yellow. Barf.

The proportions of cheap shirts are typically off, too.  These shirts are a bit squattish, rather than long and lean like most men's SM-M shirts (well-made men's tees fit me better, it's unfortunate that I have no curves, but men's SM shirts tend to be more flattering on my longer, boyish torso.  I'm a realistic 5'7 (149cm) tall/29" (63.8cm) waist/36" (79cm) hips and men's SM is typically spot on: a well-made, light blue mens sz SM shirt in photos for reference.  (The print on my blue shirt is medium thickness, but the shirt itself is so soft and breathable, the print doesnt bother me).  Most people probably cant tell a difference (not many of the other reviews with photos seemed to notice the differences in quality); but, if you are on the autism disorder spectrum or have other sensitivities to touch which makes you hyper-aware of certain textures and colors, then you might not like if you get the shirts that Im returning.  A quality shirt will not be boxy or scratchy like these burgundy bogeys.

Thanks, but I'll pass on this item until someone posts a photo of their genuine vintage-style maroon/golden yellow Gryffindor tee, I'll just hold onto the screen grabbed photo and try to find the original product elsewhere.  If you don't mind that the fabric is thin and not at all soft, that the print is heavy and colors are slightly off, then by all means, its a good price, go ahead.  You do you.

Also, all three of these (SM, M, XXL) came from the same seller: Retrofacts.  If anyone else gets the real version of this tee that they put as the item photo (suspiciously, there are no other angles or photos of the actual product), please include the name of the seller you purchased from in your review.  TIA!
