Care for the garment like the artwork matters, because it does.
Always follow the sewn-in care label because it gives the maximum safe treatment for the finished garment. Turn the tee inside out, close any fastenings and wash with similar colours on a cool, gentle cycle. Use a measured mild detergent. Do not bleach unless the care label specifically permits it.
Reshape the tee while damp and air-dry it away from strong direct sunlight. Keep printed or embroidered surfaces smooth rather than folded against themselves. Avoid tumble drying unless the sewn-in label permits it, because excess heat can affect cotton dimensions, print surfaces and embroidery backing.
Iron inside out using the temperature shown by the care-label symbol. Place a clean cloth between the iron and decorated areas, and never apply direct heat to screen print, high-density print, embroidery, woven labels or transfers.
Store the garment clean and completely dry. Fold heavyweight tees along natural seams to reduce shoulder distortion, avoid overcrowding, and keep artwork away from damp, prolonged sunlight and rough surfaces. Treat stains promptly using a gentle method tested on an inconspicuous area.
