Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you followed the recommended cold wash and low heat/hang dry instructions. Excessive heat can cause cotton to shrink. If shrinkage is minor, wearing it can help it stretch back to shape.

Embroidery is creased or damaged.

Avoid direct ironing on the embroidery. Iron the garment inside out on a low to medium heat setting. If the embroidery is significantly damaged, professional repair may be needed.

Color fading.

Wash with similar colors in cold water. Use a detergent designed for colored fabrics and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
