Q: Do soft-wash garment-dyed tees shrink?
They can shrink a little, especially on the first wash. That's why we suggest washing in cold water and air drying or using low heat. If you're between sizes, you might want to size up.
Q: How should I wash a garment-dyed t-shirt?
Turn it inside out, wash in cold water with a mild detergent, and skip the fabric softener. That keeps the color from fading and the fabric from breaking down.
Q: Can I put a soft-wash tee in the dryer?
You can, but use the lowest heat setting and take it out while it's still slightly damp. Air drying is even better if you have the time.
Q: What makes garment-dyed different from regular cotton?
The shirt is dyed after it's sewn, which gives it that soft, lived-in feel and a slightly uneven color. It also means the dye is more vulnerable to fading, so gentle care is key.
