Fit & Fabric Notes

• Gildan Heavy Cotton (5000):
  The battle standard. Classic, boxy unisex fit—roomy, durable, and built for the pit. 100% cotton (solids), tubular construction. Expect 3–5% shrinkage after the first wash—just enough to keep you on your toes.

• Gildan Ultra Cotton (2000):
  For those who demand a little more armor. Classic American fit, slightly fuller through the body, pre-shrunk for the long campaign. 100% preshrunk cotton (solids), heavy and unyielding.

• Gildan 64000 Softstyle:
  Semi-fitted, modern classic cut—less boxy, more tailored, but still unisex. 100% ring-spun cotton (solids), 4.5 oz, tagless, taped neck and shoulders. Minimal shrinkage (1–3%). For those who want comfort with their carnage.

• Bella+Canvas 6004 (Women's):
  Women’s-specific slim fit, side-seamed, longer body. 4.2 oz, 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton (solids). Hugs the body—size up for a less fitted look. Not for the faint of heart.

All shirts are unisex unless otherwise marked. Bella 6004 is a women’s-specific cut—consult the chart and measure for a merciful fit.

Care Instructions

Preserve the brutality—don’t let your shirt die before you do.

• Wash inside-out, cold water, with like colors.
• Tumble dry low, or hang to dry.
• Expect 3–5% shrinkage on cotton styles (less on Softstyle).
• Never bleach, never iron the print—true metal never fades, but improper care might.
