The basic T-shirt from Logostar is carefully packaged. The sturdy plastic bag offers sufficient protection during transport. Although unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided, the use of plastic film could be a point of criticism for some consumers. The scope of delivery includes the basic T-shirt in size L. Instructions for use are not required due to the simple handling.

The size and fit of the Logostar Basic T-shirt are almost perfect. It fits ideally at the shoulders, chest and waist, without any uncomfortable tension or looseness, and corresponds to the specified measurements, although we found it a little too long overall – but this is a matter of taste. After washing at 30 degrees, the T-shirt has shrunk a little, but this is completely normal as 100% cotton always shrinks a little.
The seams are robust and hard-wearing and showed no irregularities or weak points in any of the tests carried out. No loose threads or damaged areas were found and the seams withstood both the tensile test and the stresses of washing and wearing.
The stretchability of the T-shirt is excellent. The material returned completely to its original shape, showed no deformation or material fatigue and retained its original structure and elasticity even after intensive stress tests.
The wearing comfort of the T-shirt is optimal for almost all activities. It offers a high level of comfort in all situations, even if minor discomfort can occur, which hardly detracts from the overall impression.
The breathability of the T-shirt is also very satisfactory. Moisture is quickly transported to the outside and only slight moisture build-up is noticeable. The skin remains largely dry and the air permeability is almost optimal.
The Logostar Basic T-shirt is an excellent choice for men in large sizes who value high-quality workmanship and a comfortable fit.
All in all, the Logostar Basic T-shirt lives up to its promise and offers a stylish and comfortable alternative.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the Logostar Basic T-shirt with an average of 4.5 stars. One common criticism is that the T-shirt shrinks after washing and that the size information is inaccurate. Many customers like the high quality, the comfortable fit and the good workmanship. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the fit and stretch of the T-shirt were very good.
Prices of up to €17.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €7.45 . The basic T-shirt from Logostar is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €5.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is the most favourable.
