If you’ve landed here, you’re probably curious about one thing: are Big Little Cities shirts actually worth it? And that’s a fair question. We're pretty new and you are most likely just discovering who and what we are. When you’re buying online - especially off Instagram - you want to know what you’re getting before you hit that checkout button. The short answer? Yes. Our city tees are printed on premium Comfort Colors blanks, designed with a clean, minimalist look, and consistently loved by customers for their fit, feel, and wearability.
One of the best things about our shirts is how they feel right away. Comfort Colors tees are garment-dyed, that's tech speak for perfectly broken-in softness from the very first wear. They don’t have that stiff, boxy feel that takes awhile to get rid of. Instead, they start out comfortable and just get better with time. We hear from folks that these tees are the softest shirt in their closet.
How do they fit is another question we get a lot, and the reviews make it clear: these tees run true to size with a slightly relaxed cut. They're 100% cotton so they will shrink if you put them into the dryer. I like to hang dry mine because I'm tall and they tend to shrink upward.
That means they’re easy to wear as an everyday staple without being oversized or sloppy. If you like a more fitted look, sizing down works great. Otherwise, your normal size will give you that lived in style. Just be mindful of the dryer.
Shipping speed comes up often in reviews, too. We use a print-on-demand service through Printify to print and ship our orders. Most orders ship within a few days and show up within two weeks at the most. People are often surprised by how quickly their order arrives. We take pride in keeping things simple and reliable, from order to doorstep.
The real standout, though, is the simple unified design. We keep it minimal on purpose. No skyline graphics or no over-the-top slogans. Just the name of your city, placed in the upper left corner (for now...) like a quiet nod. It’s subtle city pride you can wear anywhere and not feel like you're shouting "CLEVELAND!" everywhere you go. That's coffee shop mornings, weekend errands, or even a night out. Customers tell us it feels more like part of their wardrobe than a souvenir, which is exactly what we’re going for.
And here’s the exciting part: we recently added reviews directly to our website. That means when you browse a city shirt, you’ll see real feedback from real customers who already wear them. We think it’s important to give people an honest look at what our community is saying, not just our take on it.
So, are Big Little Cities shirts worth it? We think so and the growing list of reviews backs us up there. They’re soft, durable, and designed to be the shirt you reach for again and again. And now, with reviews built right into the site, you don’t have to take our word for it, you can hear it straight from the people wearing them.
If you’ve already bought one, we’d love for you to leave a review and share your thoughts. If not, take a look at your city in our collection and see why so many people are adding these to their weekly rotation.
Your feedback helps us grow, and your city deserves a shirt you’ll actually want to wear.
