Quick answer
Wash your Kinito Crew T-shirt inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then hang it to dry. For sizing, use the unisex Canvas 3001 size chart as your baseline and size up if you prefer a relaxed fit.
Why the cotton blend and print method shape your care routine
The Kinito Crew T-shirt is printed on 100% cotton blanks from Canvas and District, with a design by Nina Matsumoto. Cotton is breathable and soft, but it can shrink slightly with heat, and the screen print sits on top of the fabric. That means the two main risks are dryer heat and abrasion from other clothes. Knowing this helps you focus your care efforts where they matter most.
Sizing exceptions for women’s and extended sizes
The shirt comes in unisex sizes XS–4X on the Canvas 3001 and 5X–6X on the Port & Company PC61, plus women’s XS–4X on the District Made DM104L. The women’s cut runs differently from the unisex, so check the specific size chart for the style you order. If you are between sizes or want a looser fit, sizing up is the safer choice for a cotton tee.
Step-by-step care for your Kinito Crew T-shirt
- Check the size chart before your first wash: Measure a T-shirt you already like and compare it to the size chart for your specific style (unisex Canvas 3001, women’s District Made DM104L, or unisex Port & Company PC61). Common mistake: assuming your usual size fits the same across all three blanks. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one for a relaxed fit that survives slight cotton shrinkage.
- Turn the shirt inside out and use cold water: Set your washing machine to a gentle cycle with cold water. Common mistake: washing on hot, which can fade the print and shrink the cotton. Cold water protects both the fabric and the screen print.
- Skip the fabric softener and bleach: Use a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener. Common mistake: adding softener, which can leave a residue that dulls the print over time. Less is more—plain detergent keeps the cotton soft and the print clear.
- Air dry or tumble on low heat: Hang the shirt to dry or use the lowest heat setting. Common mistake: high heat in the dryer, which cracks screen prints and causes shrinkage. Air drying is the safest way to preserve the fit and the design.
- Iron inside out on a low setting: If needed, iron the shirt inside out and avoid pressing directly on the print. Common mistake: ironing the printed side, which can melt or stick to the design. Always protect the print with a cloth or iron from the reverse side.
