Troubleshooting
Shirt loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Use a gentle cycle, mild detergent, and avoid high heat in the dryer. Air drying is recommended for maintaining shape.
Embroidery on the badge appears damaged.
Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered badge. If ironing is needed, turn the garment inside out or use a pressing cloth over the badge on a low heat setting.
Color bleeding during the first wash.
Wash the shirt separately or with very similar dark colors for the first wash to prevent any potential color transfer. Always use cold water for initial washes.
