Super fast delivery thanks to Rich. The shirt itself is lovely. Great fit and a nice material

On the up side, the shipping into the EU was fast and without problems.

I found out about Cafe through their collaboration with DC so I just assumed they have good quality.

I got the was nothing real Tee in blue. (So not from the DC collab.) And when I opened the package it immediately smelled weird. Kinda vinegar like. And it also felt a bit weird. The print resolution is okay. But it has that kinda print I only remember from shirts as a kid like 10 years ago which all ended up getting cracks in the print and wearing off.

Obviously I can't know now if that will actually happen. But there are also some dust or fabric particles enclosed in the print and some color spots. Small but overall it will always look like there is some dust on the shirt.

The shirt itself is very thin too.

The shirt was 15£, so I didn't expect much more but hoped for a decent quality. I wish it had cost 25£ with a better quality because I like the idea of the shirt.

I have been skating this brand for the best part of 5 years and have always been very impressed with the consistency of the brand itself. The use of high quality materials is evident in the durability of all their skate products. The consistency of their board shapes is ideal for people who are looking for a board that fits the shape of their feet perfectly. In the 5 years I have been skating I have always jumped on a new board and felt that is was already broken with a natural feel. If I could be critical about the board shape, I would love to see this brand branch out into more board styles and shapes.
The graphic designs that this brand uses are creative for the most part but I do feel that they sometimes can be a bit lazy with their colour pallet of choice. I feel that the first thing that draws somebody to buying their own board is 1.) the deck size and 2.) the graphic on the board itself.
If I was a new skater or a skater with experience, I would definitely recommend this company the price point of their products are very reasonable with their boards starting at a price point of around 50 euro and going up to a high end of around 65 euro which is a great price compared to other equally great brands. The price range for the brands clothing are a more expensive and I feel they attract more of a trendy clientele but that is certainly no reason to degrade the brand.
I would rate the overall brand 4/5 stars.
