Learn how to choose the right size and keep your T1C PRACT1CE FREEDOM T-Shirt looking great with this practical fit and care guide.
Quick Answer
Measure your chest and compare to the size chart; wash in cold water and tumble dry low to preserve the 60/40 cotton-poly blend.
Understanding the 60/40 Cotton-Polyester Blend
The T1C PRACT1CE FREEDOM T-Shirt uses a 60% cotton, 40% polyester blend. This mix gives you the soft, breathable feel of cotton with the durability and shrink resistance of polyester. The fabric holds its shape well after washing, but it can still shrink slightly if exposed to high heat.
Why Sizing Matters for Concealed Carry
If you wear this shirt with a holster, T1C ships it in the same package when the holster is ready. A properly fitted tee ensures your holster stays concealed without printing. A size too small may ride up, while a size too large can bunch under a cover garment.
Step-by-Step Sizing and Care Guide
- Measure Your Chest and Torso Length: Use a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level under your arms. Then measure from the highest point of your shoulder (HPS) to where you want the hem to fall. Compare both numbers to the T1C size chart. Common mistake: measuring over bulky clothing can add 1-2 inches; wear a thin t-shirt or measure bare skin.
- Choose Your Size Based on Fit Preference: If you prefer a trim fit for concealed carry, order your true chest size. For a relaxed, more casual look, go one size up. The 60/40 blend has minimal stretch, so the fit you choose is the fit you get. Checkpoint: if you are between sizes and plan to wear the shirt with a holster, size up for comfort.
- Wash in Cold Water on a Gentle Cycle: Turn the shirt inside out to protect any print or design. Use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners—they can break down the polyester fibers and cause pilling. Common mistake: hot water can shrink the cotton portion unevenly; cold water keeps the fit consistent.
- Tumble Dry Low or Air Dry: Dry on low heat or hang the shirt to air dry. Remove it from the dryer while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles and avoid over-drying. High heat can cause the polyester to weaken and the cotton to shrink. Checkpoint: if you air dry, reshape the collar and hem while damp to maintain the original fit.
- Iron on Low Heat if Needed: If wrinkles appear, use a low-heat iron. Do not iron directly over any printed graphics—place a thin cloth between the iron and the shirt. The polyester content makes the fabric less prone to wrinkling than pure cotton. Common mistake: high heat can melt polyester fibers or damage prints; always start with the lowest setting.
