FAQs

What material is this t-shirt made from?

This t-shirt is made from 100% Cotton.

How should I wash this t-shirt?

It is machine washable. Follow the care label instructions, typically washing at a moderate temperature with mild detergent and similar colours.

Does the chest pocket have a lining?

The product description mentions a 'functional chest pocket with a contrast trim', but does not specify if it is lined. It is designed for aesthetic and minor utility.

What is the fit of this t-shirt?

The t-shirt has a regular fit, designed to be comfortable without being too loose or too tight.

What does 'twin needle cuff and hem detail' mean?

This refers to a sewing technique where two parallel needles are used to create a strong, neat, and durable seam, commonly found on the edges (cuffs and hem) of garments for reinforcement and a clean finish.

Is this t-shirt suitable for sensitive skin?

Made from 100% cotton, it is generally considered breathable and comfortable for most skin types. However, individual sensitivities may vary.

Can I tumble dry this t-shirt?

Yes, it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. For best results and longevity, air drying is often recommended.

Troubleshooting

T-shirt appears smaller/larger than expected after washing.

Check the garment care label for specific washing instructions. Ensure you are washing and drying according to the recommended temperature and method. Cotton can shrink slightly if exposed to excessive heat.

Colour fades significantly after a few washes.

Always wash coloured garments inside out with similar colours. Use a detergent designed for coloured fabrics and avoid excessive bleach. Air drying can also help preserve colour vibrancy.

Pocket trim appears uneven or detached.

Inspect the stitching on the pocket trim. If minor, a few careful stitches with a needle and thread can secure it. For significant damage, contact customer service if the item is within its warranty period.

Fabric feels rough or less soft over time.

Ensure the t-shirt is not being washed with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Using a fabric conditioner during the wash cycle can help restore softness. Air drying can sometimes make cotton feel stiffer than tumble drying, but it's gentler on the fabric.
