To wear your tee, simply put it on like any other shirt. It's a relaxed fit, so it should feel comfortable right away. When it comes to washing, you can machine wash it in cold water with like colors to keep the colors looking great. Tumble dry on low to avoid any shrinkage. Since the tees are made to order, please be patient during the 7 - 10 business day processing time. The pigment dye colors may have shade variations, which is a natural part of the process and adds to the tee's unique vintage look. Don't worry about excessive shrinkage at home because the garment is pre-shrunk during the dye and wash processes. Enjoy expressing your style with this awesome tee!
