FAQs
What does the heavy wash treatment mean for the fabric?
The heavy wash is a specialized process that breaks down the cotton fibers to give the shirt a soft, aged, and vintage look.
Does the shirt run true to size?
The shirt features a loose fit, which is standard for BAPE streetwear silhouettes. It is designed to be worn slightly oversized.
Can I put this shirt in the dryer?
It is strongly recommended to air dry the garment to protect both the integrity of the heavy wash treatment and the longevity of the graphic prints.
Is the graphic print on both sides?
Yes, this specific model features graphic details on both the front and the reverse side.
How should I store the shirt to keep it in good condition?
Store the shirt folded in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading of the washed cotton.
Troubleshooting
The graphic appears slightly faded after initial wear.
This is a natural part of the heavy wash design; however, ensure you are washing the garment inside out to prevent further friction-based wear.
Fabric feels stiffer after washing.
Ensure you are using a fabric softener during the rinse cycle and avoid heat drying, which can cause cotton fibers to stiffen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the heavy wash finish and the integrity of the hand-drawn graphics, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Turn the t-shirt inside out before placing it in the wash to protect the graphic prints from abrasion.
- Temperature: Always wash in cold water using a gentle cycle to prevent the fabric from shrinking or fading further than the intended wash aesthetic.
- Drying: Air dry the garment in a shaded area. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the cotton fibers and lead to unintended distortion of the fit.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting and ensure you iron on the reverse side to avoid direct contact with the graphic prints.
