Thanks for asking! 'Used' means this Acme Example T-Shirt has been previously owned. We carefully inspect each shirt to ensure it's in good condition, with no major flaws like holes or excessive wear. The lithograph design (9" x 12") is still vibrant. While it's not brand new, you're getting a great value on a stylish, pre-shrunk cotton tee, perfect for everyday wear. Because it is used that allows you to buy a great shirt with an awesome design from Acme at a reduced price.
