Care and sizing details

This tee is made from a soft, breathable cotton blend designed for everyday comfort. To achieve the oversized streetwear look shown in many style photos, we recommend sizing up one or two sizes from your usual fit. For the best longevity of the printed graphic, wash inside out on a cold cycle and tumble dry on low heat.
