Frequently Asked Questions

Popular blanks include heavier cotton (220g+) with thick collars. Ask your seller which blank they use for the specific design.

High-quality screen-printed designs hold up well. Avoid heat-pressed prints if you want long-term durability.

Boxy fits are already wider. If you want a standard boxy look, order your normal size. Size down for a less exaggerated fit.
