Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Tait T-Shirt is designed for men seeking a comfortable and breathable layer for casual outdoor activities and everyday wear. Its primary benefit is the natural feel and breathability of its 100% Coolweave cotton construction. A potential consideration is the fabric composition for the Silver Grey colorway, which includes a small percentage of viscose. This classic crew-neck tee is a versatile choice for hikes, road trips, or relaxed weekends.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Coolweave cotton fabric?
The Coolweave cotton jersey offers natural breathability and a soft, comfortable feel against the skin, making it suitable for warm conditions and everyday wear.
Is this t-shirt suitable for intense physical activity?
The t-shirt is designed for casual outdoor comfort and moderate activity. While breathable, 100% cotton may not wick moisture as effectively as synthetic fabrics during high-intensity exercise and will take longer to dry.
How does the Silver Grey color differ from other colors?
The Silver Grey colorway is made from 95% BCI cotton and 5% viscose, whereas most other colorways are 100% BCI cotton jersey. This slight difference in composition may affect its feel and moisture-wicking properties minimally.
What does BCI cotton mean?
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It means the cotton is sourced from farms that are committed to improving cotton farming practices in terms of water usage, pesticide use, and land health.
How should I wash the t-shirt to maintain its quality?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.
Can I wear this t-shirt year-round?
Yes, its natural breathability makes it comfortable in warmer weather, and its cotton material provides some insulation, making it suitable as a base layer or on its own during cooler months.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can reduce cotton's natural breathability. Consider air drying instead of tumble drying on high heat.
Color fading after multiple washes.
Wash inside out to protect the fabric's color. Use cold water for washing and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Shirt shrinks significantly.
Avoid high heat in the washing machine and dryer. Always follow the recommended washing temperature (30°C or lower) and tumble dry on a low setting or air dry.
