Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This long-sleeve tee is cut to provide a clean, modern profile that maintains its shape due to the heavy fabric weight

Washing & Care Instructions

• Turning the garment inside out helps protect the screen-printed details from friction during the wash
• Avoid the high heat of a tumble dryer to prevent shrinkage and keep the spectral white fabric looking bright
• If the t-shirt requires pressing, use a low setting on the reverse side to avoid direct contact with the graphics
