To use this tee, simply put it on and enjoy the comfort. When it comes to washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the colors and fabric in good shape. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might damage the low-impact dyes. Hang it to dry to prevent shrinkage. Since the tees are made to order, please be patient during the 7 - 10 business day processing time. Keep in mind that the pigment dye colors may have shade variations, which is a natural part of the process and adds to the unique vintage look of the garment.
