Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water and tumble drying on a low setting or air drying. High heat is the primary cause of shrinkage in cotton blends.

Color has faded significantly.

Wash with similar colors only and use a mild detergent. Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight during drying, which can cause fading.

Buttons feel loose.

Gently tighten the threads of the buttons by hand. If a button comes off completely, it can be reattached using a needle and thread matching the original color.

Fabric has lost its stretch.

Over-washing with hot water or excessive heat from a dryer can degrade the elastic fibers. Follow recommended cold wash and low/no heat drying instructions.
