Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the Irish Army bête noire tee made from?
▾
The tee is constructed primarily from 100 % cotton, though certain color options blend a small percentage of polyester (e.g., sport grey is 90 % cotton/10 % polyester, ash grey 99 % cotton/1 % polyester, and heather styles 50 % cotton/50 % polyester). The base weight is 5 oz/yd².
Does the shirt shrink after washing?
▾
Because the fabric is an open-end yarn with a tubular construction, the tee experiences minimal shrinkage. Following the care label—cold wash, gentle cycle, and tumble dry low—will keep the dimensions stable, though a slight 1-2 % change is normal for cotton.
How should I care for the tee to maintain shape?
▾
Machine wash the shirt inside out on a cold, gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low or lay flat. Avoid bleach and high heat. Iron on a low setting if needed, focusing on the collar and shoulders to preserve the taped seams.
Is the color variation normal for the natural shade?
▾
Yes. The natural color is woven from fibers that contain dark speckles, which appear as subtle mottling across the fabric. This is an inherent characteristic of the cotton blend and is not a defect. The speckles stay consistent after washing, though they may become slightly more pronounced.
Can I order a custom size or bulk order?
▾
The tee is produced in standard unisex sizes and is not offered in custom dimensions. For bulk purchases, the manufacturer requires a minimum order of 50 units, which may affect lead time and pricing. Contact the seller for specific bulk-order details.
