    T-shirts - washing guidelines

    Team,
    for those who are not used to caring for clothes -

    PLEASE FOLLOW THE WASHING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LABELS OF THE GARMENTS.

    I'D HIGHLY RECOMMEND WASHING YOUR T-SHIRTS AND SINGLETS SEPARATELY BEFORE WEARING THEM. USE A COLD DELICATE SETTING. THIS IS PRUDENT TO MINIMIZE COLOUR RUN.

    WITH THE RED ONES, I'D PERSONALLY RECOMMEND WASHING THEM SEPARATELY EVERY TIME AS RED IS NOTORIOUS FOR RUNNING.

    I DONT WANT ANY EMAILS FROM PEOPLE WHO'S FAVOURITE WHITE TOP HAS TURNED PINK COZ THEY WASHED IT WITH A RED SINGLET!!

    FOLLOW THIS ADVICE AND YOU SHOULD BE RIGHT.....

    I have some ex-white socks that are now pink due to this exact issue. I prefer the term 'man-salmon' to pink though.

    The problem may be more prevalent with the mens singlets due to the kind of fabric used.

    The mens t-shirts are absolutely beautiful quality so make sure to follow the wash instructions i mentioned above and they should all last a long time.

    I threw my [black] singlets in the wash, normal cycle, with my other dark clothes... no issues to note.

    yeah me neither, but the red ones should receive special attention, as should all red clothes....
