Learn how to wash, dry, and store your BSc Coast Tee to maintain its shape and color. Simple steps for long-lasting gym wear.
Quick answer
To keep your Coast Tee looking new, wash it inside out in cold water, air dry it flat, and store it folded rather than on a hanger.
Why care matters for gym tees
Gym tees take a beating from sweat, fabric softeners, and frequent washing. Without the right routine, even a well-made cotton tee can fade, lose its shape, or develop pilling. The Coast Tee is a simple black everyday piece, so maintaining that clean look is mostly about protecting the color and the fabric structure.
The trade-off between convenience and longevity
Tossing your tee in a hot dryer is fast, but heat breaks down cotton fibers and shrinks the shirt over time. Air drying takes longer but keeps the fit consistent. If you're short on time, use the lowest heat setting and remove the tee while it's still slightly damp to minimize damage.
How to care for your Coast Tee
- Turn it inside out before washing: This protects the outer surface from friction against other clothes and the machine drum. Common mistake: washing right-side out, which accelerates fading and pilling.
- Wash in cold water with a gentle cycle: Cold water prevents color bleeding and reduces shrinkage. Use a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener. Common mistake: using hot water, which fades black fabric faster.
- Air dry flat or on a low-heat setting: Lay the tee flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat and remove while slightly damp. Common mistake: high heat drying, which shrinks the tee and wears out the fibers. Check the fit after the first few washes to see if your care routine is working.
- Store folded, not hung: Folding prevents the shoulders from stretching out of shape. Store in a cool, dry drawer. Common mistake: hanging by the collar, which can distort the neckline over time.
