How to prevent your graphic shirts from fading

We've gotten a few complaints from customers that they love our designs but that they fade over time. What do you do then? Buy another of course!

But [not so much] kidding aside, if you want to keep your graphic tees and other apparel from fading, please follow the care instructions. You can find them on the inside tag of your garment. Don't be that autistic guy who cuts it off and discards it. If you are that guy, at least read and remember the proper washing settings before you throw it away.

Most people, especially men, mix up all their laundry to get it all done at once but each garment will want specific settings based on the material used and the methods of applying graphics.

The style of printing we use on most of our shirts calls for washing and drying at a lower temperature. The dryer especially can spell death for these items. Hot drying can cause the graphic to fade or peel as it loses adhesion to the fabric. In most cases, this is the main cause for fading. We also recommend using a gentle wash and dry cycle. High speed tumbling may cause the graphic to rub off. For those patient enough, best longevity of the products comes from line drying rather than machine drying. Using a stain remover before washing can do wonders for your items. Some people also report that using a fabric softener has adverse effects on the item quality. Do not use excessive amounts of detergent like my ex-wife does.
