Washing Shirts...

I read the support stuff, which says "Our new tag format doesn't allow enough space for full washing instructions. The instructions are as follows: Machine wash cold. Wash dark colors separately. Use non-chlorine bleach only if needed. Tumble dry low. Do not iron decoration. Do not dry clean if decorated. The tee's are primarily 50/50 cotton blend shirts and may shrink slightly."

Does that mean select tees don't shrink when dried in a machine?

i think everything shrinks once in a drier. Just hang em to be sure.

the select tees will probably shrink cause they are 100% cotton.

Okay I see thanks.

Another quick question (sorry for these rather nooblike questions). How prone (in general) is the printed design to wearing/washing off? I plan to wash all the shirts I get first thing before I wear them but I don't know how they'll be affected by the first (and subsequent) washes.

I think it depends. Some shirts wear differently than others. I have Bunnies & Dark Side of the Garden (both older tees 1st ed) and they wash perfectly and nothing happens to the print. Both were washed cold & hung to dry.

I got the recent Monster Wash and the print faded & fuzzed a little bit after washing but I had put it in the dryer to shrink it. I also got Psychedelic Peacock which I also put in the dryer to shrink (I bought both shirts too large) and the print was fine.
