Overview of Cuts

Cuts is Los Angeles based, founded in 2016 by Steven Borrelli. Steven always struggled to find high quality t-shirts, ones that he could wear professionally and on a night out. Rather than compromise with low quality, he went the entrepreneurial route to design shirts he could actually be proud of.

It makes sense that Borrelli turned to custom production for his ambitions. In his own words, it took countless hours of research and way too much coffee (I feel that). In 2017 prior to their launch, Cuts raised money via Kickstarter to engineer a durable, breathable fabric that goes by the name Pyca™. I looked up that word out of curiosity and it appears that they made it up. Neat.

This is a premium high stretch fabric containing a tri-blend of materials. This combination amounts to wrinkle-free tech and color retention. Pyca™ supposedly offers long-term comfort and feels buttery soft in your hands. Has anyone reading this ever put their hand in butter? Me neither, but I get the sentiment.

Cuts showcases its styles unlike most brands out there, creating a Shop by Cut experience featuring six options. The brand wants to be as authentic as possible—versatile and sophisticated in a low-key way. Cuts now has a notable Instagram fan base of over 150K followers, but are their premium tees really that good? That’s what we’re looking to find out in this Cuts clothing review.

If you’d rather catch the highlights of this Cuts clothing review, I offer the good and the bad: 

Pros

  • Shirts contain high, quality custom-engineered Pyca™ fabric
  • Classic and versatile designs
  • Design collaborations with notable creatives
  • Allows you to pay in full or by 4 installments
  • Free return shipping on US and Canadian orders
  • Ships within the US, Canada, and internationally 

Cons

  • Limited selection of shirts; only sell crew, v-neck, and henley
  • Pricier than average (tees range from $48-$68)

Cuts Shirts Review

Cuts has a limited selection of v-neck, crew, and henley tees with three hem options (curve, split, elongated). The entire collection is defined by flexible basics: the kind of tees you can wear on a day-to-day basis, and in business casual settings (pro tip: know your office dress code before attempting new outfits).

You can shop by categories like cut, bestseller, new release, and collaborations. Cuts collaborated with film director Matt Komo, photographer and creative director Alen Palander, and Insta-famous photographer TheOneBlondKid to design some pretty trendy tees. 

V-Neck Shirts

The V-Neck Curve-Hem is an elevated classic falling smoothly at the waist, so no awkward bunching. The standard V cut contributes to its versatility⁠—it’s easy to imagine a casual vibe with jeans or a blazer on a date, so you look suave but not like you’re trying too hard. 

The V-Neck Curve-Hem comes in six muted shades: black, white, heather green, navy, reddish maroon, and grey. This tee is priced at $48, which is on the lower end for Cuts shirts.

Inspiration for the V-Neck Split-Hemis courtesy of Alen Palander, with a side-split hem and more fitted chest compared to the V-Neck Curve Hem. Cuts tees can establish a completely minimalist vibe or balance out bolder accessories like a sick pair of shoes, a stand-out belt, or chains.

The V-Neck Split-Hem comes in black, white, and slate grey, offering a neutral, distinctive look. This tee currently costs $44, marked down from $48.

Crew Shirts

The Komo Crew Elongated was conceived by Cuts and, you guessed it, Matt Komo. It’s got cuffed sleeves and a red-stitch breast pocket detail⁠. This crew has a slightly longer bottom hem, which has a more casual vibe, and the tailored fit is meant to accentuate your waist (rather than a belt). 

For those who prefer their shirts colored, the Komo Crew doesn’t come through for that. It’s only offered in black, but at least it’s a color that’s easy to match (and could rationalize the $66 price tag). Rest assured, there are a handful of other crew options with color.

This is the long sleeve version of Cuts’ bestselling Crew Curve-Hem, which is also worth checking out. The L/S Crew Curve-Hem is a tailored fit overall, but less tight approaching the waist. You can see in the picture that it’s not tight at the wrists, which can make some long sleeves uncomfortable.

This $58 crew offers a classic style in brighter colors: shades of pink, black, pale purple, reddish brown, cream, navy, and honeycomb. The color options for the L/S Crew Curve-Hem would look good in the summer, and its light and breathable qualities make it wearable all year.

The Crew Elongated is a go-to style with an urban feel. This tee takes the classic crew style and adds a longer hem. This crew would look good on its own, under a leather jacket, or with a casual blazer.

Remember the Pyca™ fabric all Cuts shirts are made of? The breathable tri-blend makes it wearable throughout the day, especially in warm weather. The Crew Elongated is available in black, heather grey, light brown, oatmeal, slate, and reddish maroon, priced at $48

Henley Shirts

If you’re not a fashion expert and are only vaguely familiar with Henley tees, this is the cut that has three top buttons. The Henley Split-Hem is another Cuts basic that is better suited for casual settings, like chilling with friends or on a night out.

The three buttons of the Henley Split-Hem are accentuated by the split hem, so this shirt would definitely look best on its own. This Henley comes in the subtle neutrals: light brown, black, cashew, iron, and light forest green for $68. This is as pricey as Cuts shirts get.

The Henley Elongated is one of my favorite designs. The buttons and longer hem give it an edge over basic and boring tees. This is one of the more casual tees featured in this Cuts clothing review. I’ve seen a lot of guys wear this kind of style to the bar, actually.

This Henley only comes in one color—luckily, black pairs well with basically everything. Maybe not orange, unless it’s Halloween. The Henley Elongated is priced at $58.

Cuts Clothing Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

Cuts Clothing Review 10
@cutsclothing

Customers can leave a Cuts clothing review on the website, with ratings for shirts ranging from 4.5-5/stars. Read some customer feedback from verified buyers: 

“These shirts are SO comfy and look great too! Highly recommend.” 

“Best fitting shirt I’ve ever worn, no joke! Definitely going to buy more in the near future.” 

“Great!!! Soft and perfect fit.” 

Our Cuts clothing review doesn’t stop there. It’s important to get the full picture by consulting the World Wide Web. The duuude blog raved about Cuts shirts, rating them 9/10 for construction, 9/10 for material quality, and 10/10 for feel/wearability. YouTuber Josh Welchert described Cuts as “the only shirt worth wearing,” and the Youtuber that goes by the name Fashionable Father said something along the same lines in his Cuts clothing review.

I found two complaints filed through the Better Business Bureau. One customer complained that Cuts sent him the wrong shirt size because the one he ordered was out of stock. Another customer received his package late and was sent the wrong size, then had trouble contacting customer service.

Both complaints were resolved and Cuts has a B rating with the BBB, which is decent.

Our Verdict on Cuts 

Cuts Clothing Review 11
@cutsclothing

It’s not difficult to give these shirts our approval in this Cuts clothing review. I only found two negative ratings, and what’s more promising than that? According to customers, the Pyca™ tri-blend is comfortable, just like the brand claims.

They’re more expensive than the average shirt, but I’m a firm believer that you have to pay for quality when it comes to certain products. This is especially true for shirts, since cheap ones always fade in the wash and get holey real quick. 

So it all comes down to if Cuts is in your budget, and if you think of premium shirts as an investment. These tees are the kind that never go out of style, are comfortable, and last long⁠—they check all the boxes for us.

Asked by Carl Hyland (4 years ago) Reply

Cuts sizes were too small for me. I ordered large, and I could hardly fit it on my body. Large was WAY too small. I will now return — and try Extra Large. But I am even worried about Extra Large being big enough. Large was so small. — But the shirts do have nice colors and feel. — And I fear returning will be a major pain. I don’t want to go to the post office… crowded and with Covid-19.

Asked by El (4 years ago) Reply

Exactly the same reply as the previous reviewer. Over-priced shipping and waaaaay undersized. Despite using the ‘sizing tool’ on the site. Seem like nice shirts, but I’ve only opened one. Even on discount, $145 for four t-shirts that don’t fit? Come on guys. Sort out the sizing at least.

Asked by V. Kyle (4 years ago) Reply

Lured by the nice looking ad  on Facebook and hoping to get nice gifts for my son and my brother in law, I ordered 2 shirts 2 days after Thanksgiving and still have not received the items.   DHC tracking info only posts for 11/30.   I was just informed via email on 12/14 that the items still have not shipped and to expect that they will ship in 1 week (in other words 3 weeks after the items were ordered!).    Im so sad that I ordered these items now as they will most likely come after Christmas, given the mail carrier delays due to COVID, and no expedited shipping was offered by this company in response to the delay.  I have requested to cancel my order and learned on 12/15 that this cannot be accommodated, as the items are already “prepared for shipping”.    I had to resort to disputing the charge on my credit card, as no sign of the items and no updates regarding shipping as of 12/26.   As a customer you are placed in an unacceptable position by this company—  the company is not delivering on their stated 3 to 5 day after order ship date (not even close!) And the inability to cancel your order.    I felt swindled by this company and by Facebook for posting their ads.  BEWARE—   Please don’t make the mistake I (and from what I see on social media posts many unhappy others) did and order from this company

Customer service is nonexistent. For the price tag I expect more. I was sent the same order two months in a row despite submitting different orders. Yes you can send them back but you must pay for shipping. WEAK!
Pass on this company.

Asked by David B (4 years ago) Reply

BEWARE even if you did not pay for shipping to receive your items and you have to ship any items back they will charge you $10.13 for shipping. Also the shirts run extremely small definitely size up. Not a great costumer experience. BEWARE

Asked by Paul (4 years ago) Reply

Awfully disappointing customer experience. They literally adjusted their t-shirt sizing in between my orders without any advice so I am left with useless spray on t-shirts.

I had previously purchased many of the Cuts XL sized t-shirts and they fit very well, however, since their ‘adjustments’ my new orders of XL are skin tight.

When I contact customer service they advise they adjusted measurements to better represent the dimensions of the human body?! Unclear how that helps someone who ordered several size XL t-shirts and then their next order Cuts have changed the dimensions of the XL?!

Customer experience – dismal fail. How to change poison an ambassador with awful service!

Complete Rip-Off
Asked by Luke Harper (4 years ago) Reply

Buyer beware! The shirt is OK but nothing special. They are ABSOLUTELY NOT SET UP FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS. They charged me $30 USD to post one t-shirt, which unfortunately didn’t fit me. When I enquired about a return, I was told that there is no exchange policy for international customers and I have to pay my own postage back to America, meaning my overall postage costs would be significantly more than the value of the shirt. Clearly, none of this is mentioned on their website and they are relying on exorbitant their P&P costs to limit returns and refunds. Disastrous set up for a distinctly average product, do yourself a favour and buy locally ?

I’d read many reviews singing the praises. As a man, finding the right fitting t-shirt is an exercise in patience and playing the odds, for everyone shirt that fits well and compliments my body .

Buyer BEWARE
Asked by Steve (3 years ago) Reply

Just had the most inane and frustrating experience with their “customer service.” Evidently missed the return window by 3 days — beware, the return window ticker starts at the moment your order is shipped, which took 9 days to actually be delivered to me. They refused to make an exception because “it wouldn’t be fair to our other customers.” They offered me a discount code, which turned out to be code for “spend yet more money with us and pay for shipping, too!” I’m out – there are way too many other great t-shirt companies out there that actually treat me like they give a shit.

Terrible purchase and experience..
Asked by Brandon (3 years ago) Reply

$7 to ship to me, $10 to ship back when it didn’t fit properly. The front neck part was higher up than the back of the neck! It looked as if I tried making the a shirt for the first time. Such garbage. A pack of hanes white tees from Walmart would look better than what I received. Don’t waste money on this brand.

Cannot recommend
Asked by Mike (3 years ago) Reply

I followed all the sizing info, especially the models and their sizes (height and shirt size). Sadly, what arrived was some pretty unwearable semi-lycra spray-on t-shirts. I found the fit, feel (literally like lycra, not nice) and look all very disappointing. The quality is okay but nothing special, certainly NO WAY near the price these things are going for. My international delivery took about a month and was much slower than other similar eCommerce orders I’ve made. Overall, $200 down the drain and me feeling very foolish. Would strongly recommend trying before buying or giving these a miss altogether.

Answered by Gustavo Gil (3 years ago) Reply

Shirts don’t fit, unless you are a model with a six pack and zero body fat. Definitely over hyped. Not what I expected. Very disappointed.

Poor International Shopping Experience
Asked by Kim (3 years ago) Reply

DO NOT RECOMMEND
1. Shipping took 2 months (waited in Frankfurt for 1 month without movement before shipping to Oceana)
2. Packaging was poor and consequently, the shirt arrived soiled
3. Return Policy does not refund the original shipping cost nor shipping back to USA. Not economic to return.
Return policy may work in the USA with easy return but does not work internationally.
4. Unapologetic customer service.
