Quick answer
To keep your The Streets tour t-shirt looking new, turn it inside out, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, and air dry away from direct sunlight.
Why Tour Tees Need Special Care
The print on a tour t-shirt is often screen-printed or heat-transferred, making it more delicate than a standard store-bought tee. The Dublin 2026 Tour Tee features a bold graphic that you want to stay crisp, and the fabric (a classic crew-neck style) can fade or shrink if treated roughly.
The Trade-Off: Convenience vs. Longevity
Machine washing is convenient, but it can be tough on prints. Hand washing is gentler but takes more time. The steps below balance both: they use your washing machine but with settings that minimize wear.
Step-by-step care guide
- Turn the shirt inside out: Before washing, turn the tee inside out. This protects the printed graphic from rubbing against other clothes or the machine drum. A common mistake is forgetting this step, which can cause the print to scratch or peel.
- Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Use cold water and select the gentle or delicate cycle on your machine. Hot water can shrink the fabric and fade the print. Use a mild detergent, and skip bleach or fabric softener. Check that the detergent is free of optical brighteners, which can dull colors over time.
- Air dry flat or hang in the shade: Do not put the tee in the dryer. The heat can crack the print and shrink the shirt. Instead, lay it flat on a drying rack or hang it on a clothesline away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting and remove the shirt while still slightly damp to minimize heat exposure.
