How to Care for Your Vintage Tee
Extend your shirt’s lifespan with these pro tips:
- Wash inside-out in cold water
- Use mild detergent (avoid bleach)
- Line dry or tumble dry low
- Iron on reverse side if needed
Proper maintenance keeps the vintage print vibrant – unlike cheaper alternatives that fade quickly.
