FAQs
What year is this retro shirt based on?
This shirt is a replica of the Plymouth Argyle football shirt from the 1959-1962 era.
What material is the shirt made of?
The shirt is made from a heavy-weight, 100% cotton jersey (2 ply Combed Cotton 270/275 gsm).
Is the badge embroidered or printed?
The badge is screenprinted to replicate the look of the original shirts from that period.
Can I put this shirt in the washing machine?
Yes, the shirt is machine washable. It's recommended to use a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain its quality and shape.
Does the shirt run true to size?
The shirt is designed with a regular fit. Refer to any available sizing charts for specific measurements, but it generally follows standard sizing for this type of garment.
Where is this shirt manufactured?
This shirt is proudly made in Great Britain.
Will the fabric shrink significantly?
While some minimal shrinkage can occur with 100% cotton, the fine gauge, tight knit fabric is designed to retain its shape. Washing in cold water and air drying will minimize shrinkage.
Troubleshooting
Shirt losing its shape after washing
Ensure you are washing on a cold or lukewarm setting and consider air drying instead of tumble drying. Avoid harsh detergents.
Screenprinted badge appears faded
Avoid ironing directly on the badge. Wash the shirt inside out to protect the print.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This is characteristic of the heavy-weight cotton. The fabric will soften with wear and subsequent washes. Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can degrade cotton fibers over time.
