Good experiece - with realistic expectations
Leaving a review with some of the info I was looking for when making my first purchase. This is about the Hawaiian/collared button up shirts, lounge pants and swim trunks. I did not buy the t-shirts, as I gather they are transfers rather than silk screened, and not the sweaters as I understand those are just prints and not actually knitted. I understood these were 1. print on demand, so there would be 5-7 days for them to be made and 2. it was coming from China so I knew to expect a couple weeks for that to the EU, where I am - so around 3 weeks altogether and that's what it was. Bonus was no additional VAT or customs fees were charged (it went via the Netherlands and was then sent inter EU regular mail). My main hesitation with ordering was I had bought a print on demand shirt from another source in China previously and the print was just too blurry/pixelated to be useful. Happily, the print quality here is quite good. Not as sharp as some high quality Hawaiian shirts I have from Avanti, Kahala, etc but quite acceptable. The shirts were cotton. Nice lightweight with a crosshatch pattern. I got the same print on a pair of swim trunks which are synthetic and the colors are slightly more vivid (and I expect more colorfast). Shirt sizing was accurate according to the measurements on the size chart (I know to disregard letter sizes due to the variations between Asian, US and EU sizes). I was less certain with the pants and swim trunks as they have elastic waists so I didn't know if the sizes were expanded fully or unexpanded. I messaged them and they said to order your actual (expanded) size so I ordered way up from what I usually would and they fit as they should (I will need to hem the pants shorter though. Also the pants are fully synthetic. I would have preferred the option of cotton (it was not specified). The swim trunks are really great. The only negative is no inside or rear pocket that can be secured. There are two side pockets. Overall I'm very pleased
