Frequently asked questions

The t-shirt runs true to size, but is a fitted classic t-shirt. If you prefer a there shirt to fit a looser, we suggest sizing up.

If you love our Premium Tee, it fits identical to that.

Yes, BUT our tees are pre-shrunk to minimize this.

We garment-dye and pre-shrink every shirt at 180°F, so the majority of shrinkage happens before it reaches you. You can expect no shrinkage with proper care.

Follow these simple steps to keep your tee in perfect condition:

Wash in cold water – Cold water prevents shrinkage and protects the color
Turn inside out – Reduces fading and protects the outer fabric
Use gentle cycle – Minimizes wear on the fibers
Tumble dry low or air dry – High heat causes shrinkage; low heat or air drying is best
Remove promptly – Prevents wrinkles and over-drying

Our tees are pre-shrunk at 180°F during the garment-dye process, so most shrinkage has already occurred. Following these care instructions ensures your shirt maintains its fit and quality wash after wash.

A premium t-shirt comes down to three things: fabric quality, construction, and finishing.

Fabric: Premium tees use heavier, higher-quality cotton (210-300 GSM vs. budget tees at 120-160 GSM). The weight gives you better durability, opacity, and a substantial feel that won't wear thin.

Construction: Look for reinforced stitching, side seams (not tubular), and quality details that hold up wash after wash.

Finishing: Our garment-dye process at 180°F pre-shrinks each shirt to the perfect fit and creates a soft, lived-in feel from day one. We finish and QA everything in the USA, ensuring consistent quality. Details like our tagless screen-printed label show attention to comfort.

With proper care, a premium cotton t-shirt should last 3-5 years or longer.

Our tees are built for longevity. The garment-dye and pre-shrink process at 180°F locks in the fit, so your shirt won't stretch out or shrink unevenly over time. The heavier fabric weight (210-300 GSM) resists thinning, holes, and wear better than budget tees that typically fade and fall apart within 6-12 months.

To maximize lifespan: wash cold, tumble dry low or air dry, and turn inside out. The better you care for it, the longer it lasts and 100% cotton actually gets softer with age.
