FAQs

Is this shirt 100% cotton?

Most colors are 100% cotton, but the Heather Grey variant is a blend of 97% cotton and 3% polyester.

Can I use this for heat transfer vinyl (HTV)?

Yes, the fine knit gauge and smooth texture make this shirt an excellent candidate for HTV and screen printing.

What is the smallest size available?

The smallest size is 1-2 years (18-20 inch chest), though color availability is limited for the 1-2 and 2-3 age groups.

Does the shirt have a printed label?

Yes, it features a printed back neck label for increased comfort, preventing itchy tags.

Can adults wear this shirt?

While this is a children's model, the manufacturer offers similar styles for men (61036) and ladies (61046) if you require an adult fit.

Is the fabric heavy-duty?

At 160-165gm, it is a standard weight designed for comfort and everyday durability rather than heavy-duty workwear.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing

Use a gentle fabric softener during the rinse cycle to restore the softness of the cotton.

Neckline appears to be loosening

Avoid hanging the shirt while wet; lay it flat to dry to prevent the weight of the water from stretching the fabric.

Shrinkage noticed after the first wash

Always wash in cool or warm water. Avoid high-heat cycles, which are the primary cause of cotton shrinkage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius. Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the surface, especially if it has custom printing.
  • Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the cotton fibers. If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting.
  • Ironing: Iron on the reverse side to avoid damaging any printed areas. Use a medium heat setting.
  • Sizing: This shirt follows standard UK sizing. Please refer to the manufacturer guide: 7-8 years corresponds to a 30-inch chest fit. Ensure you measure the chest accurately to select the correct size from the range of 1-15 years.
