Care and Maintenance Guidelines

To preserve the integrity of the metallic crest and the high-density print, turn the garment inside out before placing it in the washing machine. Use cold water on a gentle cycle to prevent the cotton fibers from breaking down. Avoid harsh chemical detergents or bleach, as these will compromise the vibrancy of the gold and black tones. Air drying is the recommended method to maintain the shape of the collar and the structural integrity of the fabric. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent shrinkage and protect the detailed graphics from excessive thermal stress.

The durability of this shirt stems from its heavy-duty construction and reinforced stitching at the shoulders and hem. This design choice ensures that the garment resists fraying and maintains its silhouette even after heavy wear. The finish on the print is designed to resist cracking, provided the care instructions are followed. By treating this piece with respect, you ensure that the symbols of your fraternity remain sharp and visible. This is not disposable clothing; it is a long-term investment in your wardrobe, meant to accompany you through years of continued dedication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the metallic print fade after washing?
