Premium Tee Easy Care

Wash: Cold, inside out with similar colors and a gentle detergent; skip bleach and softeners to keep the fabric and print sharp.

-
Care: No dry cleaning; if needed, iron on low heat, inside out, never directly over the artwork.

FAQ | Bella + Canvas 3001/3010 Premium Tees
FAQ
How does this shirt fit?
These are a "retail fit," meaning they are slightly more tailored and fitted through the torso and sleeves than a standard boxy tee. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up one size.
Will it shrink in the wash?
These tees are pre-shrunk, so significant shrinkage is rare. However, 100% cotton can naturally contract slightly (about 3-5%) in the first wash, especially with heat. Following our Easy Care Guide (wash cold, hang dry) keeps the fit perfect.
Is the fabric soft?
Extremely. We chose this premium airlume combed cotton because it feels broken-in right out of the bag—lightweight, breathable, and smooth against the skin, not starch-stiff like cheaper alternatives.
This tee is built for people who care about ideas, not slogans. It’s a clean, straight‑to‑the‑point piece that quietly declares where you stand: critical thinking will always outrank critical theory.
