Blaklader Long Sleeved T-Shirt - Crew Neck, Striped, Black/Yellow, XXXXL

This certification indicates that the garment meets the minimum requirements for visibility in low-risk environments. It defines the minimum area of fluorescent and retroreflective material needed to make the wearer conspicuous.

The Blaklader 3510 is certified to Class 1. Higher-risk environments may require Class 2 or Class 3 garments, such as hi-vis vests or jackets. Always check your workplace safety regulations to ensure this garment meets the necessary standard.

This t-shirt is made of 100% cotton and is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is designed primarily for visibility and comfort in dry or mildly damp conditions. For wet weather, a waterproof hi-vis outer garment is recommended.

To maintain the reflective properties, avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, and high washing temperatures. Wash the garment inside out and tumble dry on a medium setting. Avoid dry cleaning.

The main material is 100% cotton in a single jersey knit, weighing 180 g/m². The fluorescent hi-vis material is 100% polyester.

While this specific product description lists 'Male' for the gender, the design is a standard crew neck t-shirt. Depending on fit preference, it could potentially be worn by others, but Blaklader may offer specific women's fits in other product lines.

Segmented reflective tape is cut into smaller sections and often applied with stitching that allows for greater flexibility. This means the tape moves more easily with the wearer's body, providing continuous visibility without feeling stiff or restrictive.

This can occur due to improper washing or excessive wear. Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners. For minor peeling, careful ironing on low heat (inside out) might help, but significant damage may require replacement.

While some fading is normal with cotton fabrics over time, excessive fading can be due to washing at high temperatures or using bleach. Always wash according to the recommended temperature (max 60°C) and avoid bleach. Washing inside out can also help preserve color.

This might be due to the buildup of detergent residue or fabric softener on the reflective tape. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly and avoiding fabric softeners. A gentle wash cycle with minimal detergent might help restore some reflectivity.

The reinforced neck seam is designed for durability. If stretching occurs, ensure the garment is not being pulled excessively by the collar. Follow washing and drying instructions carefully, as excessive heat in drying can sometimes affect fabric integrity.
