Sizing Advice
T-shirts are the most inconsistent category for sizing. Asian sizing often runs one size smaller than US sizing. European-inspired cuts may be more fitted. Always check the chest and length measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cotton weight should I look for?
For a premium feel, look for 220g cotton or higher. Budget tees are often 180g-200g and feel thinner.
Do graphic prints crack after washing?
Screen-printed designs hold up better than DTG over multiple washes. Follow care instructions and wash inside-out on cold.
