The graphic is applied using DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing, which allows for vibrant colors and fine detail in the cat illustration. To maintain the print quality, machine wash cold inside out and tumble dry low. Unisex sizing is available, so check the size chart to find the best fit for your preferred level of looseness.
