Care Instructions
Wash inside out at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry. Do not use bleach or iron directly over the printed design.
Every Vintage Tee is individually garment-washed to achieve its soft feel and naturally faded appearance.
As a result, no two shirts are exactly alike. Slight differences in color tone, fading, and texture are expected and celebrate the unique character of each garment.
These variations are intentional and are not considered defects.
