EVANNEX 'Zero Emissions' T-Shirt: Sizing and Print Care Guide

Quick answer

Choose your usual size for a standard fit, then turn the shirt inside out and wash cold on a gentle cycle to protect the 'Zero Emissions' print. Air-dry or tumble low—high heat is the fastest way to crack the graphic.

Step-by-step: size it right and keep the print intact

1. Measure a cotton tee you already own: Lay a favorite 100% cotton T-shirt flat and measure the chest width (armpit to armpit) and body length. Compare those numbers to the size menu for the 'Zero Emissions' shirt. Common mistake: guessing based on your usual size in other brands, which can vary by several inches. Write down your measurements before ordering so you can double-check against the size menu.
2. Decide between true-to-size and size-up: If you want a standard fit, order your measured size. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to tumble-dry, size up one. Checkpoint: cotton can shrink about 2–5% after the first wash, so factor that in if you are between sizes. For a relaxed fit, size up; for a fitted look, stay true to size.
3. Turn the shirt inside out before washing: Flip the shirt inside out so the printed graphic faces inward. This reduces friction against other garments in the wash. Common mistake: washing the shirt right-side out, which exposes the print to abrasion and fading. Inside-out washing is the single easiest way to extend print life.
4. Wash cold on a gentle cycle: Use cold water and a gentle or delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Checkpoint: hot water can cause cotton to shrink and the print to crack, so keep the temperature cold. Cold water protects both the cotton fit and the graphic.
5. Air-dry or tumble on low heat: Hang the shirt to air-dry, or use the lowest tumble setting if you prefer softness. High heat is the main cause of print cracking and excess shrinkage. Common mistake: leaving the shirt in a hot dryer for a full cycle. When in doubt, air-dry—it is the safest option for the print.
6. Store folded, not on a wire hanger: Fold the shirt and store it in a drawer to avoid hanger marks and stretching at the shoulders. If you hang it, use a wide plastic or padded hanger. Checkpoint: wire hangers can distort the neckline over time. Proper storage keeps the shape intact between wears.
