Why the fabric blend matters
The Goat-Karts Tee uses a 4.5 oz softstyle cotton blend that is 35% cotton and 65% polyester. This combination gives the shirt a smooth, lightweight feel that drapes nicely without being too heavy, making it a versatile choice for everyday wear or game day.
Polyester adds durability and helps the tee hold its shape, while cotton offers breathability and softness. The pre-shrunk treatment means you don't have to worry about significant shrinkage after washing, but you should still follow care instructions to maintain the fabric's look and feel.
Understanding the fit
Softstyle tees are known for a slightly more tailored fit compared to classic heavyweight tees. The Goat-Karts Tee is not overly boxy, so if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. If you like a more fitted look, stick with your usual size.
Because the fabric has a smooth drape, it tends to follow your body's lines more closely than a thicker cotton tee. This makes it a good option for layering under a jersey or wearing on its own.
How to Choose and Care for Your Goat-Karts Tee
- Check the size chart before ordering: Measure your chest and compare it to the size chart provided on the product page. Softstyle tees run true to size but have a more fitted cut, so if you're between sizes, consider sizing up for a relaxed fit. Common mistake: skipping the size chart and assuming your usual size will fit perfectly.
- Decide on your preferred fit: If you like a closer, more athletic fit, choose your regular size. If you prefer a looser, more casual look, order one size up. The softstyle fabric drapes closer to the body than heavier tees. Checkpoint: Think about how you'll wear it—layered or on its own—to pick the right fit.
- Wash in cold water and tumble dry low: To preserve the fabric's softness and prevent any slight shrinkage, wash the tee in cold water and dry it on a low setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the polyester blend over time. Common mistake: using hot water or high heat, which can cause the fabric to lose its shape and softness.
