Learn how the Sandfruit Festival T-Shirt fits, what the fabric feels like, and how to care for it. Includes sizing tips and care instructions.
Quick answer
The Sandfruit Festival T-Shirt is a pre-shrunk, unisex fit made from 100% combed and ring-spun cotton. It runs true to size for most body types but has a slightly tailored side-seamed cut that may feel snug if you prefer a loose fit.
Fabric quality: why combed and ring-spun cotton matters
Combed and ring-spun cotton is a step above basic jersey. The combing process removes short fibers and impurities, leaving a smoother, stronger yarn. Ring-spinning twists the fibers into a finer thread, which gives the fabric a softer hand feel and a more uniform surface for printing. The result is a shirt that feels broken-in from the first wear and holds its shape wash after wash.
Pre-shrunk fabric: what it means for your size
Pre-shrunk fabric has been washed and dried during manufacturing to minimize further shrinkage at home. You can still expect a small amount of shrinkage (typically less than 5%) in the first wash, especially if you use hot water or a high-heat dryer. For a consistent fit, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low.
Side-seamed construction: a more tailored shape
Side seams mean the body of the shirt is made from separate front and back panels sewn together, rather than a single tube of fabric. This construction allows a more defined shape and reduces twisting after washing. It also gives the shirt a slightly slimmer, more fitted silhouette compared to tubular tees. If you prefer a boxy or oversized look, consider sizing up.
How to choose your size and care for the shirt
- If you are between sizes: Order the larger size. The side-seamed cut runs close to the body, so sizing up gives you a more relaxed fit without looking baggy.
- If you prefer a loose or oversized look: Go up one full size from your usual. The pre-shrunk fabric will still hold its shape, so the extra room stays intentional.
- First wash care: Wash inside out in cold water with like colors. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. This preserves the print and minimizes any residual shrinkage. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners — they can break down the natural cotton fibers and dull the print over time.
- Long-term care: Turn the shirt inside out before washing every time. Use a mild detergent. Skip the dryer when possible — air drying extends the life of both the fabric and the graphic.
