Frequently
Asked Questions
Q. What is "Dri-Fit" and why does it
cost more?
A. "Dri-Fit" is
a polyester air knit that actively wicks perspiration away
from skin and quickly speads the moisture across the fabric
to improve evaporation. These shirts are much more breathable
than the traditional cotton weave... Great shirts for those
really hot summer days or to work out or excercise in. (Cotton
shirts tend to absorb the mosture, and cling to your body,
hindering evaporation). The other advantages to the Dri-Fit
polyester vs. cotton are there is virtually no shrinkage after
washing and no wrinkles at all. Not to mention the lifespan
of the dri-fit shirt is considerably longer than the cotton
weave. You could literally throw the shirt in a pile, pick
it up and put it on and it would look as though you had hung
it up. Great item for the busy bachelor... or those of us
who hate folding clothes! Polyester is a man-made material,
and as such, the costs for material are slighly higher than
cotton.
Q. How do I know
what size I need?
A. Sizes vary
according to the location in which the apparel is manufactured.
North American sizes are tradionally larger than those from
international destinations. Sizes are measured from Armpit
to Armpit when sizing for Hoodies and sweatshirts. For Pants
and Shorts, the sizing is measured around the waist in inches.
For T-Shirts the sizing is shown according to chest sizing
and for Rash Guards the sizing is based on body weight. When
chosing your apparel online, it is important to refer your
sizing (with a tape measure) to an item which you already
own. Choose an item which fits you comfortably and is indicative
to how you would like your new item to fit. Compare your size
to the sizes availble for the item you wish to purchase. It
is important to keep in mind that when purchasing Cotton weave
apparel, it is not uncommon for items to shrink as much as
5% after a few wash cycles. You may want to consider ordering
one size larger if necessary.

Q. How do I care for
my new purchase?
A. Most apparel
will have a sewn-in care label. Refer to the directions to
determine the required garment care. Shirts in rich, deep
colors usually require washing separately in cool water. Decorative
tees with transfer prints generally specify special care,
such as turning the T-shirt wrong side out before laundering.

care recommendations. It is important to consider the care
you are willing to give before buying the garment. Whenever
in doubt, hand-wash (turned inside out) in cold water and
hang to dry.
