FAQs
What is 'garment dyed'?
Garment dyeing means the t-shirt is dyed after it has been fully constructed. This process creates a softer feel and a unique, often slightly faded or richer color profile compared to fabric dyed before construction.
How do I know if the relaxed fit is right for me?
The relaxed fit is designed for comfort and a looser drape. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down. We recommend referring to the product description for sizing guidance.
Is the waffle fabric breathable?
The waffle texture does allow for some air circulation, but the heavyweight nature of the fabric makes it more suited for cooler to moderate temperatures rather than extreme heat.
Can I wear this t-shirt in all seasons?
Due to its heavyweight fabric, it is best suited for spring, autumn, and milder winter days. It can be layered effectively for colder weather but might be too warm for peak summer.
How does the woven Square Label look after garment dyeing?
The garment dyeing process affects the label, often rendering it a muted or 'murky' tone that blends subtly with the shirt's color for a less prominent branding appearance.
What material is the t-shirt made of?
The t-shirt is made from 100% heavy cotton waffle fabric.
Troubleshooting
Shrinkage after washing
Always follow the care instructions. Washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat or air drying will minimize shrinkage. If shrinkage occurs, try stretching the garment gently while damp.
Color fading unevenly
This is a characteristic of garment dyeing. To maintain a more uniform appearance, wash inside out with like colors and avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying.
Stitching coming undone
Inspect seams regularly. For minor issues, a few careful stitches can reinforce the area. For significant seam separation, professional repair may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry for best results and to minimize shrinkage. Do not iron the label.
- Garment Dye Care: The unique color of the garment-dyed fabric may continue to evolve slightly with washing. Washing with darker colors initially is recommended to prevent any potential color transfer to lighter items.
