Sizing, material and care
Everything that goes into an ATLECK tee, and how to keep it looking right wash after wash.
Sizing
Our tees are cut oversized, with dropped shoulders and a relaxed drape. For a closer fit, try one size down. Measurements are taken with the tee laid flat.

Measured with the garment laid flat. Allow up to 2.5cm (1 inch) variation. Cut oversized for a relaxed drape.
Material
100% combed cotton, 260gsm. A heavier, denser fabric than a standard tee, woven in a 16s plain weave. Soft, breathable and moisture-absorbing.
Pre-shrunk and vintage washed. Each tee is washed and distressed for a faded, lived-in look from the first wear. The fabric continues to fade naturally over time. That's part of the character, not a defect.
Built properly. Side-seamed, with a double-stitched ribbed collar, taped neck and shoulders, and double-stitched cuffs and hem.
How to wash and dry
Wash: inside out, in cold water (max 30°C) with a mild detergent. Hand washing is best. Wash with similar colours.
Dry: tumble dry on low, or hang to dry out of direct sunlight.
Iron: low heat or steam only.
Avoid: soaking, bleach and dry cleaning.
A few extra tips
Wash inside out every time, not just occasionally. It protects the print and the washed finish.
A little colour may release in the first few washes. Wash with darks the first time.
Keep it out of direct sun when drying so the colour fades evenly.
