Why Care Matters for This Tee
Your Employee Of The Week tee from Jomboy Media is printed in the USA on a premium Comfort Colors shirt with fade-resistant inks. The print and the garment itself are built to last, but how you wash and dry them makes a real difference in how long the design stays sharp and the fabric holds its shape.
This guide covers the care steps that help you get the most out of your tee, plus what to expect from the fit across the available sizes.

Wash and Dry Tips for Print Longevity
To keep the fade-resistant print looking its best, turn the tee inside out before washing. This reduces direct abrasion on the design. Use cold water and a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can break down the ink and the cotton fibers over time.
For drying, tumble dry on low heat or hang the shirt to dry. High heat can accelerate fading and cause the fabric to shrink. If you hang it, reshape the collar and hem while damp to maintain the original fit. The premium Comfort Colors cotton will hold up well when you follow these steps.
Step-by-Step Care Routine
Follow this simple routine after each wear to keep the print and fabric in top condition.
- 1. Turn inside out: Before washing, flip the tee so the printed side faces inward. This protects the design from rubbing against other clothes.
- 2. Wash cold, gentle cycle: Use cold water and a gentle cycle. Mild detergent is best; skip bleach and fabric softener.
- 3. Dry low or air dry: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Reshape the collar and hem while damp if you air dry.
Sizing and Fit Considerations
The Employee Of The Week tee is available in sizes S through 4XL. Comfort Colors shirts are known for a relaxed, slightly roomy fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, consider sizing down. The fabric is a premium cotton that may shrink slightly in the first wash, especially if dried on high heat, so following the low-heat drying tip helps preserve the size you chose.
Trade-offs to Keep in Mind
The fade-resistant ink is a strong advantage, but no print is permanent. Over many washes, even gentle care will gradually soften the design. That's normal and part of the shirt's character. The premium cotton fabric may feel stiffer when new, but it softens with wear and washing. If you want to slow that softening, wash less frequently and spot clean when possible.
