Learn about the 100% combed ring-spun cotton fabric of the Mushroom Short Sleeve T-shirt and get practical washing and drying tips to keep it looking new.
Quick answer
The Mushroom Short Sleeve T-shirt is made from soft, pre-shrunk 100% combed ring-spun cotton (or cotton-polyester blend for Heather Grey). To keep it looking its best, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low.
Why fabric weight and singles matter
The Mushroom Short Sleeve T-shirt uses 4.3 oz/yd² (145.8 g/m²) fabric with 32 singles. This mid-weight cotton feels substantial without being heavy, and the higher singles count (32) means the yarns are finer and softer against the skin. The result is a comfortable, form-fitting tee that holds its shape wash after wash.
Made-to-order means extra care at first
Because each Mushroom Short Sleeve T-shirt is made especially for you after you place an order, it arrives fresh from production. The pre-shrunk fabric means minimal shrinkage, but we still recommend washing it before the first wear to remove any residual manufacturing dust and to soften the cotton further.
Frequently asked questions
- How should I wash my Mushroom Short Sleeve T-shirt?
- Turn the shirt inside out to protect the print. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat to preserve the cotton fibers and print longevity.
- Can I put it in the dryer?
- Yes. Tumble dry on low heat. Remove the shirt while it is still slightly damp to reduce wrinkles and prevent over-drying. If you prefer, air drying on a flat rack or line works well and extends the life of the fabric.
- Will the shirt shrink?
- The fabric is pre-shrunk, so significant shrinkage is unlikely. However, to be safe, avoid hot water and high heat drying, which can cause cotton fibers to contract over time. Stick to cold water and low heat to maintain the original size and fit.
- How do I remove wrinkles?
- If needed, iron on the lowest cotton setting while the shirt is slightly damp. Do not iron directly over any printed design; iron inside out or place a cloth between the iron and the print.
