Learn how to wash, dry, and store your Pima cotton blend curved hem crew tee to keep it soft, shape-retaining, and long-lasting.
Quick answer
Machine wash cold on gentle, tumble dry low, and avoid fabric softener to keep the Pima cotton blend's silky feel and curved hem shape.
Why Pima cotton blend needs different care
Pima cotton has longer fibers than standard cotton, which gives the tee its silky-smooth feel and durability. The 50/50 blend with regular cotton adds breathability but also means the fabric is more prone to shrinking if exposed to high heat. Gentle washing and low heat drying help preserve the soft hand feel and the clean side-seam construction that keeps the tee from twisting.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I machine wash a Pima cotton blend tee?
- Yes. Turn the tee inside out, use cold water on a gentle cycle, and a mild detergent. Skip fabric softener—it coats the Pima fibers and reduces breathability over time.
- How should I dry the curved hem tee?
- Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. High heat can shrink the cotton blend and distort the curved hem. If using a dryer, remove the tee while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles.
- How do I prevent the curved hem from losing its shape?
- Avoid wringing or twisting the wet tee. Lay it flat or hang it by the shoulders to dry. The side seam construction helps the hem stay straight, but aggressive handling can pull the curve out of alignment. Store the tee folded rather than hung on a thin hanger to avoid stretching the neckline and shoulders.
