Troubleshooting

Reflective tape is peeling or losing reflectivity

Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed. Avoid high heat drying, harsh detergents, or fabric softeners. Gentle washing and air drying when possible can prolong the life of the reflective tape.

Fabric not wicking moisture effectively

Rinse the garment thoroughly to remove any detergent or softener residue. Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine. Avoid using fabric softeners.

T-shirt feels tight or restrictive

Consider ordering a size up if you prefer a looser fit, or if you are between sizes. This t-shirt is designed with a slim fit for a modern silhouette and ease of movement.

Colour fading prematurely

Wash inside out in cool or lukewarm water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Use a mild detergent.
