Frequently Asked Questions

Is it best to hand-wash t-shirts?

In general, hand-washing shirts (or any other clothing) is usually the best way to keep their shape and color for longer, although it’s also perfectly fine to machine-wash them.

How can I make sure my shirt stays in good condition?

To preserve your shirt, it’s recommended that you only wash it every other time you wear it, and always hand-wash as opposed to putting it in the washing machine.

How do I know what size to get?

To determine which size is best, it’s important to look at the sizing chart for each shirt before buying. Some shirts run big, while others run small.
