The Ami Paris check multicolor T-shirt collection is one listing on SKU 7702007271, priced at $29.40 after a drop from $30.87 and marked in stock, offering S–XL across 36 colour entries. We ordered two of them through the same agent route readers use — white-827 and pink stripe-801 — then documented the parcels, measured both tops flat in millimetres on the bench, and wore them before writing anything down.
We bothered with a tape measure because the listing does not agree with itself. The title sells a "T-shirt collection." The attribute set describes a long-sleeve, lapel-collar cardigan in 60-count Oxford cloth. The pattern field reads solid, while the colour list carries more than a dozen striped and checked entries. The only way to settle what actually ships is to measure what arrived.
What our two parcels contained
Both tops arrived long-sleeved with a turndown collar and a small embroidered motif on the chest, matching the attribute set rather than the title. Package condition was clean: outer bag intact, one inner poly bag per top, no accessories, no retail tags. The catalog's weight field reads 0.00, so we weighed our own pairs on the bench scale instead.
Bench numbers, measured flat in millimetres
| Measurement (size L) | White-827 | Pink stripe-801 | Reference check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit row: 20-minute wear, then a 4-hour day | Loose through the chest, hem sits below the hip bone; no pressure at the throat with the collar closed; cuff clears the wrist bone | Same, with the cuff reading 2 mm wider | Catalog lists a loose cut across S–XL; nothing on our pairs reads slim |
| Flat chest, pit to pit | 570 mm | 570 mm | Our retail Ami de Coeur tee in L measures 545 mm flat |
| Back length, collar seam to hem | 710 mm | 712 mm | No retail length published for this shape |
| Sleeve, shoulder seam to cuff | 600 mm | 602 mm | Long sleeve, as the attributes state |
| Cuff opening, flat | 110 mm | 112 mm | Single button, no cuff tab |
| Collar depth, folded | 40 mm | 40 mm | Turndown collar, not a crew neck |
| Weight, on our scale | 288 g | 296 g | Catalog weight field reads 0.00 |
Two pairs is a small sample, and we treat it that way. What the numbers do show is that the size L we received is a genuinely relaxed garment: roughly 25 mm wider across the flat chest than the retail Ami de Coeur tee on our shelf, with a hem that clears the hip on a 178 cm tester. At 570 mm flat, sizing down to M for a close fit is unlikely to work; you would be fighting the cut rather than refining it.
The collar question is not a printing error
Both pairs we received were long-sleeve collared tops, and that shape is not fictional. Ami Paris does sell an Ami de Coeur Oxford long-sleeve cotton shirt — Selfridges lists it at $415 with 100% cotton, a straight-point collar and chest embroidery — so the listing's attribute set maps onto a real retail product family far more closely than its "T-shirt collection" title does. That cuts both ways. It explains the collar and the sleeve, and it also sets the price gap you are choosing to accept.
What our sample cannot prove is that all 36 colour entries ship the same silhouette. Variant photos in the listing are the only reliable per-colour record, and the two we ordered do not cover stripes, checks, denim or khaki entries.
Reading the 36 colour codes
The suffix numbers behave like palette or batch tags, not fabric codes. The same suffix covers unrelated shades and finishes:
- #801 spans pink, grey, blue and green stripes.
- #836 covers khaki and navy solids.
- #838 covers blue and yellow stripes.
- #827 covers five solid shades including white, light blue, light yellow, light green and pink.
So the code after the dash tells you nothing about what the garment looks like. Order by colour name and variant photo together, and treat a repeated suffix as an internal tag rather than a description of fabric, weave or trim.
Authenticity checks worth the effort
Ami Paris is heavily counterfeited, and published authentication guidance focuses on the heart-logo font weight and placement and on neck-tag stitching spacing and alignment, plus wash-tag print quality. On our two pairs the embroidery reads dense and the neck tag sits straight, but the label print is not as crisp as retail, and one sample pair cannot clear a batch. This is a $29.40 long-sleeve Oxford-cloth top against a $415 retail analogue, so judge it as its own garment rather than as a retail match.
"I went true to size with Large and the fit is perfect. Good length, sleeves sit nicely and overall just a clean summer fit." — buyer of a comparable Ami de Coeur tee, r/DHgateVault
That report covers a different, short-sleeve Ami de Coeur tee, so it supports the sizing range rather than this listing. Published AMI guidance is to take your usual size, with labelled size 42 equating to a typical Large, and reviewers describe the AMI silhouette as boxy and relaxed — consistent with our 570 mm flat chest measurement.
What to settle with your agent before paying
- Ask for a QC photo of the chest motif straight-on and of the inside neck tag, so the embroidery and tag spacing are visible before shipping.
- Confirm the silhouette for the exact colour entry you want: long sleeve with a turndown collar, or otherwise.
- Ask whether a fibre-composition label is present. The listing's composition field reads "other," and we could not verify content by hand.
- State the colour name and its suffix together, then confirm the agent photographed that variant, since one suffix can cover stripes and solids alike.
At $29.40 the garment is easy to justify on its own terms: the cut is deliberate, the collar and cuff work is tidy at 2x, and the embroidery survived bench inspection. What you are buying is a resolving exercise as much as a top, and the parts you cannot resolve — fibre content, and whether every colourway shares this shape — stay unresolved until an agent answers them.
How we tested
Ordered two pairs via our usual agent route: white-827 and pink stripe-801, $29.40 each, SKU 7702007271. Logged agent timing, QC photo set, packaging and accessory count. Bench inspection at 2x on collar, cuff and embroidery. Garments measured flat in millimetres, then worn 20 minutes and again for four hours.

Product listing verified on 2026-10-15.
Why do the same colour codes repeat across different shades?
They look like palette or batch tags rather than fabric codes. #801 covers pink, grey, blue and green stripes; #836 covers khaki and navy. Order by colour name plus the variant photo, and confirm that exact combination with your agent.
Should I size down for a closer fit?
No. Published AMI guidance is to take your usual size, and our size L measured 570 mm flat across the chest, roughly 25 mm wider than the retail Ami tee on our shelf. Sizing down will not make this cut close-fitting.
Is a short-sleeve version in the listing?
Both pairs we received were long-sleeved with a turndown collar, matching the attribute set rather than the title. Treat "T-shirt" in the listing name as a naming error and confirm sleeve length for the variant you choose.
What works
- 36 colourways, S–XL, all on one $29.40 listing.
- Measured 570 mm flat chest on our size L: a genuinely relaxed cut.
- Collar, cuff and embroidery held up to bench inspection at 2x.
Watch-outs
- Title says T-shirt; attributes describe a long-sleeve collared cardigan.
- Pattern field reads solid while the palette includes stripes and checks.
- Fibre composition reads "other" and the catalog weight field sits at 0.00.

Editor verdict
Our two pairs measure as a loose, long-sleeve collared shirt in Oxford cloth, not a crew-neck tee. At $29.40 the cut and finish are good; the description conflict and unconfirmed fibre content are what stop this reaching five.
