Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and unique color of your garment-dyed cotton twill shirt.
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. It is highly recommended to turn the shirt inside out before washing to help preserve the richness of the garment-dyed color. Use a mild detergent.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach. Bleach will damage the cotton fibers and strip the garment-dyed color.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, hang dry. Air drying helps minimize shrinkage and maintain the shirt's shape and color integrity. Avoid direct sunlight when air drying to prevent uneven fading.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a medium heat setting. For best results, iron the shirt while it is slightly damp.
- Dry Cleaning: Info needed: Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific dry cleaning recommendations.
- Color Care: Due to the garment-dyed process, some initial color rub-off or slight fading over time is natural and contributes to the shirt's unique character. Wash separately for the first few washes to prevent color transfer to other garments.
