How should I wash this t-shirt to maintain its quality?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and high heat.
Will the blue color bleed onto other clothes?
It is recommended to wash the blue t-shirt with similar colors, especially during the first few washes, to prevent color transfer.
What other colors and sizes are available?

Is the material pre-shrunk?

Troubleshooting
T-shirt feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the sizing chart. Ensure your chest measurement falls within the recommended 40"-43" range for an XL. If it's still not right, consider exchanging for a different size or trying a different model.
Color faded after washing.
Always wash dark colors separately, especially for the first few washes. Use cold water and a color-safe detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
Fabric feels rough after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing on a cold setting. Fabric softener can be used sparingly if desired, but avoid high heat drying which can stiffen cotton fibers.
