A good tee should last years, not seasons. Premium 240gsm combed cotton rewards a little care. Here's how to keep it looking new.
Washing
Machine wash cold at 30°C, inside out, with similar colours. Cold water protects the fibres and the print. Skip the fabric softener — it coats the cotton and dulls the hand-feel over time.
Drying
Tumble dry low or, better, air dry flat. High heat is what shrinks and thins a tee. Reshape while damp to keep the boxy line.
Ironing & storing
Iron on low, never directly on the print. Fold rather than hang to keep the shoulders clean. Give it a rest day between wears so the cotton can recover.
Do this and your Chapter 01 pieces will look considered for years. Because the best stories take time.
