FAQ
How does the fit of the Sailor Stories Octopus tee compare to other graphic tees?
This tee fits true to size with a modern cut that balances comfort and style. It's designed to suit most body types without feeling too tight or loose. If you prefer a relaxed fit, consider ordering one size up. The preshrunk fabric ensures the fit stays consistent after washing, so you can rely on the sizing shown in the size guide.
Will the black dye on this tee fade or bleed when I wash it?
The tee uses soft-touch, water-based dyes that are environmentally friendly and gentle on skin, designed not to bleed or fade easily. The proprietary MisAdventurist wash and anti-pilling treatment also help preserve color vibrancy through multiple washes. For best results, machine wash cold inside out with like colors and tumble dry low to maintain the print and fabric quality.
Can I wear this tee if I have sensitive skin or allergies?
Yes, this tee is made from 100% premium long-staple Peruvian cotton, which is naturally soft and breathable, reducing irritation risks. The water-based dyes and finishing processes avoid harsh chemicals, making it suitable for sensitive skin. However, if you have specific allergies, check the ingredient details or test a small skin area before prolonged wear.
How should I care for this tee to keep it soft and durable?
Machine wash the tee cold inside out with like colors to protect the print and fabric. Tumble dry on low heat to prevent shrinking or damage. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents to maintain the water-based dye's softness and the anti-pilling finish. Proper care extends the tee's lifespan and keeps it feeling as soft as when new.
Will the custom graphic print on the tee crack or peel over time?
The tee’s custom print uses soft-touch water-based graphics and a finishing process designed for durability and softness. This reduces the risk of cracking or peeling compared to traditional plastisol prints. With proper care—washing inside out and tumble drying low—the graphic should maintain its quality through regular wear.
