FAQs
What does 220 GSM mean?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. 220 GSM is considered a heavy-weight jersey, providing a thick, durable, and opaque fabric.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
Because the stripes are yarn-dyed rather than printed, the color is woven into the fibers, which is significantly more resistant to fading.
Should I size down?
The shirt is designed with an oversized fit. If you prefer a regular or closer-to-body fit, sizing down by one size is recommended.
Does it shrink in the wash?
As a cotton garment, it may experience minor shrinkage if subjected to high heat in a tumble dryer. Always follow the care instructions on the internal label.
Are the side slits functional?
Yes, they allow for better movement and make the hem sit more naturally when the shirt is worn untucked or partially tucked.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels slightly stiff after wash
Use a gentle fabric conditioner during the rinse cycle and air dry to restore softness.
Shirt appears too large
The oversized fit is intentional, but if it is too baggy, try a one-time warm wash and low-heat dry to initiate minor shrinkage, though care should be taken.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Heavy-weight 220 GSM fabric feels premium and long-lasting
- Yarn-dyed pattern prevents fading compared to surface prints
- Relaxed fit is ideal for modern layering and casual outfits
- Side slits improve range of motion at the waist
- Classic crew-neck design works well for versatile styling
Cons
- Oversized fit may be too loose for those preferring a slim profile
- Limited to cotton material, which may shrink if dried improperly
- Long-sleeve style is less suitable for high-heat summer climates
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the cotton fabric, it is recommended to wash the garment in cold water with similar colors. Because the shirt is crafted from 100% cotton, air drying is the best method to avoid unexpected shrinkage and to preserve the yarn-dyed stripes. Avoid heavy bleaching agents, as these will compromise the color profile of the stripes. When storing, consider folding the garment rather than hanging it for extended periods, as the weight of the 220 GSM jersey can cause the shoulders to stretch out over time.
