Care Guide

Every Blacksunset shirt is garment-dyed as a finished piece. That creates the soft, broken-in feel and subtle color variation. Follow these guidelines so your shirt ages beautifully.

Washing

• Wash cold, 30 C / 90 F maximum.
• Turn the shirt inside out to protect the print.
• Wash with similar colors, especially for the first 2-3 washes.
• Some excess dye in the first wash is normal.
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents.
• Use a gentle cycle.

Drying

• Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
• Remove promptly to reduce wrinkles.
• High heat can shrink garment-dyed cotton.
• Do not wring or twist.

Ironing

• Iron on low heat.
• Do not iron directly over the print. Iron inside out or use a cloth between the iron and print.
• Avoid steaming the print area directly.

Print care

• The design is printed using direct-to-garment technology.
• The print bonds with the cotton fibers and softens over time.
• Washing inside out significantly extends print life.
• Avoid dry cleaning.

What to expect

• Slight color variations are part of the character of garment-dyed shirts.
• Colors soften gradually over time by design.
• The vintage fade is part of what makes Comfort Colors unique.
