Fabric Care 101: Keeping Your Tees Looking New

Cotton is durable, but how you wash it determines how long it keeps its shape and color.

Always wash in cold water. Hot water breaks down fibers faster and causes shrinkage over repeated washes.

Turn graphic tees inside out before washing to protect prints from cracking or fading against other fabrics in the load.

Skip the dryer when you can. Air drying flat keeps the fit consistent — tumble drying is the single biggest cause of shrinkage in cotton basics.
