FAQs
Does this shirt shrink in the wash?
As it is made from 100% cotton, some minor shrinkage is normal. We recommend washing in cold water and air-drying to minimize this.
What does 220 GSM mean?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. 220 GSM is considered a heavyweight fabric, making this shirt thicker and more durable than a standard lightweight T-shirt.
Should I size down for an oversized fit?
If you prefer a standard fit, you might consider sizing down. However, the garment is intended to be worn with a loose, relaxed silhouette as designed.
Are the stripes printed on?
No, these are yarn-dyed stripes, meaning the colored threads are woven into the pattern, which provides better durability and resistance to fading compared to screen printing.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
Yes, its cotton composition makes it breathable, though its heavyweight construction makes it better suited as a primary layer or under a looser jacket.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing
Use a gentle fabric softener or hang-dry to allow the cotton fibers to relax naturally.
Neckline appears stretched after multiple wears
Always ensure the garment is laid flat to dry; avoid wringing the neck area when wet.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality 220 GSM heavyweight cotton material
- Durable yarn-dyed stripes won't fade as easily as printed patterns
- Contemporary oversized fit is highly versatile for layering
- Side slits improve comfort and mobility
- Classic crew-neck design stays structured
Cons
- Oversized fit may feel too large for those preferring a tailored look
- Heavier cotton weight may be too warm for peak summer heat
- Limited to specific color palettes inherent to the yarn-dye process
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ARKET long-sleeve stays in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a moderate temperature (typically 30-40 degrees Celsius) with similar colors.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and prevent shrinkage; avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Ironing: Use a medium-hot iron if needed. Always iron inside out to protect the striped pattern.
- Storage: Fold the garment rather than hanging it for extended periods to prevent shoulder stretching, as the heavy cotton fabric can pull when suspended on thin hangers.
