This certification ensures the garment is safe for children’s sensitive skin and meets the General Product Safety Regulation requirements.
How should I care for the Youth Classic Tee?
▾
Machine wash the shirt in cold water with like colors, then tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid bleach and high-heat ironing to preserve the low-impact dyes. The pre-shrunk cotton construction allows the tee to retain its shape and softness after multiple washes.
Is the color of the white tee truly bright white?
