Care Instructions

Want your shirt to stay fabulous? You have to treat it right. 

  • Machine wash cold, inside-out, with mild detergent and similar colors. 
  • Use non-chlorine bleach, only when necessary. No chlorine bleach. No fabric softeners. 
  • Tumble dry low, or hang-dry for longest life. 
  • Cool or low heat iron inside-out if necessary. Do not iron decoration. 
  • No ironing on the design (don't do it 😅)  
  • Do not dry clean. 
The Fit

Unisex + Modern-Slim = The Bella+Canvas 3001 is a popular, lightweight unisex jersey tee designed with a modern, slim, and retail-ready fit, rather than a boxy, traditional cut. It features side-seamed construction for a more tailored, flattering silhouette, with shorter sleeves and a slightly longer body length. It is generally considered true-to-size but with a slimmer profile.

Everyday comfort you'll "accidentally" wear 3 days in a row

Women: 
Your regular size = fitted + cute.
Size down = fitted + spicy.
Size up = cozy queen vibes.

Men: 
Order your usual tee size for a slimmer fit and up for more room. You're good.

Comfort Built for the shop (and the Couch) 🪚

Soft, breathable tees for people who own a saw but still Google "how to measure twice." Whether you're making sawdust, making mistakes, or making something you're weirdly proud of — these shirts are built for all of it. Tough enough to survive your questionable project decisions, comfortable enough to wear long after the tools are put away.

Sawdust is just glitter for real people. Wear it proud. 🪵
