To use this tee, simply put it on and enjoy the comfort. When it comes to washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the colors and fabric in good condition. Avoid using bleach as it might damage the low-impact dyes. Hang it to dry or use a low - heat setting in the dryer to prevent shrinkage. Since it's made to order, please be patient during the 7 - 10 business day processing time. The shade variations in the pigment dye colors are a natural part of the process, so don't worry if your tee has some unique color differences.
