HorrorFuel.com Reviews 'IT: Chapter Two' Shirt From The WB Shop

HorrorFuel.com Reviews ‘IT: Chapter Two’ Shirt From The WB Shop

What horror fan doesn’t love merch featuring your favorite icons and movies? I know I do. That’s why when I came across the WB Shop, I had to get an IT T-shirt. Ordering was quick and easy and it only took a few days to arrive. When I took the shirt out of the white plastic envelope it arrived in, I noticed that it was a bit stiff. But the image on the front was well done and the IT Chapter Two detail on the back was a nice touch. After washing it, I noticed that it was much softer and the fabric is thick and of high quality without being too thick. The image did not fade and it did not shrink much, if at all. I will tell you that I did wash it on cold and dry it on the delicate cycle. As for the cut of the shirt, it hung well, however, I ordered a large
