Keep your cotton camping tee looking fresh with these simple washing and drying steps. Prevent fading and shrinkage while preserving the embroidered logo.
Quick Answer
Wash your TETON Embroidered Logo Box Tee inside out in cold water, then tumble dry low or air dry to prevent fading and shrinkage.
Why Cotton Tees Need Special Care
The TETON Embroidered Logo Box Tee is made from thick dependable cotton with a box fit that's wider in the arms and torso. Cotton is comfortable but prone to shrinking and fading if exposed to hot water or high heat. The embroidered logo is stitched directly into the fabric, so it won't peel like a print, but rough washing can still loosen threads over time.
A common mistake is treating this tee like a synthetic performance shirt. Cotton absorbs water differently, and the box fit means it can shrink unevenly if dried on high heat. By following a few simple steps, you can keep the tee looking and fitting like new.
Step-by-Step Care Instructions
- 1. Turn the tee inside out: Before washing, turn the TETON Logo Box Tee inside out. This protects the embroidered logo from rubbing against other clothes or the machine drum, reducing thread wear and fading. Check that the logo is fully covered by fabric—any exposed stitching may snag.
- 2. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Use cold water (60–80°F) and a mild detergent. Hot water can shrink the cotton and dull the embroidery thread. A gentle cycle reduces agitation that can stretch the box fit. Skip bleach or fabric softener—they can weaken cotton fibers and yellow the embroidery.
- 3. Air dry or tumble dry on low: For best results, lay the tee flat to air dry. If using a dryer, set it to low heat and remove the tee while it's still slightly damp. High heat can cause significant shrinkage, especially in the wider torso area. Never use high heat—cotton shrinks most in the first few dry cycles.
