Care Instructions

Built to be worn, not babied — but a little care goes a long way. Here's how to keep every piece looking and fitting its best for years.

  • Wash cold. Machine wash cold with like colors to protect the fabric's weight and color over time.
  • Gentle cycle. Turn tees and flannels inside out to protect prints and seams.
  • Hang dry when possible. Air drying preserves the heavyweight cotton best. If using a dryer, choose low heat.
  • Skip the bleach. Avoid bleach and fabric softener — both break down natural fibers faster.
  • Iron low, if at all. Our fabrics resist wrinkling. If needed, iron on low heat, inside out.
  • Store folded. Fold rather than hang heavyweight tees to avoid stretching at the shoulders.

Flannels & hoodies

Wash inside out on a gentle cold cycle. Hang or lay flat to dry — high heat can shrink brushed cotton and fleece over time.

A note on heavyweight cotton

Our cotton is heavier than most, which means it may feel slightly stiff for the first few washes. Give it two or three cycles — it softens beautifully and keeps its shape far longer than standard tees.
