I'm looking into picking up one of their NJPW shirts as a couple friends and I are planning on taking a trip to Japan to catch Wrestle Kingdom live in January and I'd love to have a shirt to support one of my guys (Tanahashi, Nakamura, or Goto, haven't decided yet) but I'm curious about how the actual fit of the shirts are, what brand they're printed on (I don't do American Apparel), and the overall quality of the shirt before I drop $30+ on one.

I've bought many shirts from them. Quite nice. I actually got my Bullet Club shirt from them.

They're unaffiliated with BarbershopWindow, correct?

They're run by the same people.

Alright, I picked up a King of Strong Style shirt to test the waters. If it's good I'll probably get the Goto and Tanahashi shirts as well. Judging from their PR they seem to be kind of stupid but I hope that doesn't mean their shirts are bad.

I've purchased a bunch of shirts from them and while the shipping sometimes takes longer than I'd like, overall they're pretty good.
You can acutally contact them and request a specific type of blank t-shirt. I asked them to print some Steen and Forever Hooligan shirts on American Apparel shirts and they accommodated.
The normal blanks they use are normal quality "hecho in honduras" or wherever type stuff. Not super high-quality, but the normal Hanes type tees.

Thanks for the heads up. They're unaffiliated with BarbershopWindow, correct? Just curious about why this got asked. Is there something bad about BarbershopWindow? Just sharing my own personal experience, I ordered from BSW four times in 2012 and had issues with three of those orders. Two had significant delays requiring me to have to email them in order to receive the orders and the other, ordered as part of their black friday sale, didn't arrive in time for Christmas. They've expanded significantly since then and I haven't heard anyone else recently taking issue with them so perhaps those problems have all worked out, it's just difficult for me to put money toward a business I've had a 75% frustration level with. Can anyone who has been ordering from them in the interim mention if they've gotten better? I do like how they're helping wrestlers directly and a lot of their designs are very cool.

Was wondering the same, thinking about picking up a Steen shirt if any are left and a Bullet Club shirt. I remember hearing bad things about the BSW shirts a few years back and it scared me off all of these companies but I got needs.

Mayonnaise chazraps I bought some shirts off them last month and it took a couple weeks to get them printed and shipped out, which I guess makes sense since they're print on demand shirts instead of having a bunch pre-made and ready to go. Like I said above if you want to have them printed on a higher quality shirt then they're willing to do that for a couple bucks (superkick!) more. Other than that they were cool to deal with and quick to respond with emails and stuff. I actually had a longer delay than normal for one of my orders because I wanted an AA shirt instead of the normal blanks which were Glidan Ultra Cotton so they threw in a free Steen shirt.

I ordered from them last November, no problems with shipping or service. My shirts fit me nicely and are worn EVERYWHERE. Already planning to order from them again!

Good to know. Do the designs hold up well? That was the big thing I always heard about in the past with BSW that turned me off, stuff washed off real easy.

I bought two shirts from Barbershopwindow, but this was before they were acquired or merged with Prowrestlingtees. It took kind of long to get the shirts.

Well, I just got these so I've only washed them once. No complaints so far on those. I bought a #Heel shirt from BSW a couple of years ago that has held up nicely. I think a lot of it has to do with care/washing as well but I haven't had any problems thus far.

I've heard mixed things. Those who usually have had bad experiences with them tend to be more hostile about it from what I've read. Like it was a REAL bad experience. I took a stab in the dark and ordered an authentic Bullet Club It's Real shirt from Yottsume (not sure if I'm allowed to link the store site, but he runs yottsumepuroresu.blogspot.com.au/ ) as he gets his directly from New Japan. Also, I would have payed more from PWTs just to get the same shirt with an American Apparel shirt and the extra stuff on the back.

I've got a few shirts from there, they seem to hold up well, I've had the Animal as Che Guevara Tshirt for at least a year and it's still one of my go to shirts.
