Does this fit true to size?

The athletic cut offers a standard fit that aligns with typical sizing expectations. Check the size chart for specific measurements to ensure the best match for your body type. This helps avoid issues with length or width, particularly if you prefer a looser or tighter silhouette.

All-over print construction

Design is printed edge-to-edge using dye-sublimation / all-over print (AOP) so the artwork wraps the garment. Because each piece is cut and sewn after printing, pattern placement can vary slightly — especially at seams and sides. Photos show a representative style; choose tee, sweatshirt, or hoodie options at checkout when offered.

Fit & sizing

Use the size chart in the listing images before ordering. AOP styles often have a regular unisex fit; if you prefer a looser look, size up. Youth or plus sizes follow the chart for that specific blank.

Care instructions

• Machine wash cold, inside out
