Care Instructions

Care instructions nobody reads, written by people who assume you won't read these either. Read these.

• Wash cold, inside out. The design touching the inside of the machine instead of your other clothes is the difference between "still looks good" and "faded before the joke got old."
• Skip the fabric softener. It's doing nothing for you and quietly dulling the print while it's at it.
• Tumble dry low, or hang dry if you're feeling responsible. Heat is harder on the shirt than the wash cycle ever was.
• Don't iron the design directly. Flip it inside out first, or iron around it like it's a sensitive subject.

Do this and the print survives more washes than most decisions do. Skip it, and heat — not the ink — is what gets you first.
