The Kavu Salmon T-Shirt in Dusted Grape provides a technical and high-performing solution for those seeking a heavyweight, durable staple that celebrates the brand's rugged Alaskan fishing heritage.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This t-shirt features a regular fit, offering a classic silhouette that provides a clean line through the torso without being restrictive.
• The 6.5oz heavyweight jersey offers a structured drape that feels significantly more robust than a standard lightweight tee.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for a comfortable, reliable fit that is true to standard UK sizing.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle up to 30°C to preserve the garment-dyed pigment and the heavyweight cotton fibres.
• Turn the t-shirt inside out before washing to protect the salmon back graphic from friction against the machine drum.
• Hang the garment to dry naturally; the heavyweight fabric is best preserved by avoiding high-heat tumble drying which can cause shrinkage.
• Iron on a medium setting on the reverse side; avoid direct contact between the iron and the printed graphics.
• Wash with similar dark or muted colours, as the garment-dye process can naturally release a small amount of excess pigment during the first few cleans.

Our Kavu Salmon T-Shirt FAQs

1. What is the benefit of a 6.5oz jersey?
   This is a heavyweight fabric, making it more durable, less prone to tearing, and warmer than standard t-shirts, while still maintaining cotton's natural breathability.

2. Does "garment-dyed" mean the colour will fade?
   It is designed to have a slightly faded, "lived-in" look from day one. While it will age gracefully, washing on a cool cycle will keep the Dusted Grape tone vibrant.

3. What is the story behind the salmon graphic?
   It pays homage to Kavu founder Barry Barr’s time as a commercial fisherman in Alaska, where the idea for the brand's original Strapcap was first conceived.

4. Is the cotton soft or scratchy?
   Despite its heavy weight, the garment-washing process ensures the cotton has a very soft, brushed feel against the skin.
