FAQs

What does 'slub fabric' mean?

Slub fabric has a slightly irregular texture due to variations in yarn thickness during the spinning process. This gives the material a unique visual and tactile quality, and it tends to fade naturally with wear.

How should I care for the vintage graphics?

To best preserve the graphics, wash the t-shirt inside-out in cold water and opt for air drying or a low-heat tumble dry. Avoid direct ironing on the printed areas.

What is the fit of this t-shirt?

This t-shirt features a standard oversized fit, designed for a relaxed and contemporary look.

Does the t-shirt shrink?

Cotton fabric can shrink slightly with heat. To minimize shrinkage, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

What is the significance of the metal bar at the hem?

The signature metal bar is a design detail unique to REPRESENT, adding a subtle branding element and contributing to the garment's structure.

Is this t-shirt suitable for all seasons?

The 100% cotton fabric makes it versatile. It can be worn on its own in warmer weather or layered with other garments in cooler temperatures.

Troubleshooting

T-shirt arrived with creases

Creases are normal due to packaging and the nature of cotton fabric. Iron on a low heat setting, inside-out, or allow the garment to hang for a while after unpacking.

Graphic detail appears faded or cracked after washing

Ensure you are washing inside-out in cold water and avoiding high heat drying or excessive tumbling. If the issue persists, consider gentler washing methods or professional cleaning.

Fabric feels rougher than expected

This is characteristic of slub cotton, designed to create texture. The fabric will soften with subsequent washes and wear.
