A minor caveat is that the 100% cotton slub fabric, while gaining character, may naturally fade with wear.

FAQs
What does 'slub fabric' mean?
Slub fabric is characterized by its textured appearance, created by intentionally creating thicker, uneven sections in the yarn. This gives the fabric a unique, slightly bumpy feel and visual texture.
How should I care for the vintage graphics?
To preserve the graphics, always wash the t-shirt inside-out in cold water, use a gentle cycle, and opt for air drying or tumble drying on low heat. Avoid direct ironing on the graphic areas.
Will the t-shirt shrink?
The 100% cotton slub fabric may experience some minimal shrinkage, especially if exposed to high heat during washing or drying. Following the cold wash and low/no heat dry instructions will minimize this.
What is the GSM of the fabric?
The fabric weight is 186GSM (Grams per Square Meter), which is considered a mid-to-heavyweight cotton, offering a substantial feel.
Is this t-shirt suitable for women?
While designed with a men's fit in mind, the oversized style is popular in unisex fashion. Women may consider sizing down or embracing the oversized look. Check the measurements for guidance.
How does the 'natural fading' affect the look?
The slub cotton is designed to fade subtly over time with regular wear and washing. This process enhances the vintage aesthetic, giving the t-shirt a unique, worn-in character that becomes more distinctive with age.
What is the significance of Mel's Diner?
Mel's Diner is an iconic American diner that has been a cultural touchstone, notably featured in the film 'American Graffiti.' This t-shirt is part of a collaboration celebrating that classic Americana.
Troubleshooting
T-shirt feels too large or too small.
Refer to the product sizing guide for accurate measurements. The 'oversized' fit is intentional; compare the garment's laid-flat measurements to a well-fitting t-shirt you own.
Graphics appear faded or cracked after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly washing inside-out on a cold setting and avoiding high heat drying or direct ironing on the graphics.
Fabric has excessive pilling or snagging.
While slub fabric has inherent texture, excessive pilling might indicate rough handling during washing or drying. Use a mesh laundry bag and avoid abrasive materials in the wash.
Metal bar hem detail is loose or damaged.
This is rare, but if the metal bar is loose, do not attempt to re-affix it yourself, as this may cause further damage. Contact customer support for assistance.
