Learn about the poly-cotton blend material, crewneck fit, and step-by-step care instructions for your BioLite Official Tee to keep it looking great.
Quick answer
The BioLite Official Tee is a pre-laundered poly-cotton blend crewneck that resists shrinkage, but proper washing and drying habits will keep its custom print and comfort intact for years.
Why the material matters for care
The poly-cotton blend in the BioLite Official Tee balances breathability with durability. The polyester content helps the shirt hold its shape and resist wrinkles, while the cotton adds softness. Because it is pre-laundered, most initial shrinkage has already occurred, but high heat can still cause gradual changes over time.
Fit considerations after washing
The crewneck design and pre-laundered treatment mean the tee fits true to size out of the bag. However, repeated hot washing or high-heat drying can tighten the collar or shorten the body slightly. If you prefer a looser fit, stick to cool or warm water and low dryer settings.
How to wash and care for your BioLite Official Tee
- Turn the tee inside out: This protects the custom printed design from rubbing against other clothes in the wash. Common mistake: washing right-side out, which accelerates print fading.
- Use cold or warm water on a gentle cycle: Cold water preserves the poly-cotton fibers and the print. Hot water can soften the adhesive on the print and cause gradual cracking. Checkpoint: never use bleach or fabric softener, as they break down the polyester blend.
- Air dry or tumble dry on low: Lay flat to air dry for best shape retention. If using a dryer, select the low-heat setting and remove the tee while slightly damp. Common mistake: high-heat drying shrinks the crewneck and shortens the body. For longest print life, avoid ironing directly over the design. If needed, iron inside out on low heat.
