Quick answer
Wash your Witching Hour skull T-shirt inside out in cold water, then air dry to preserve the screen print and fabric. Avoid bleach and high heat.
Why screen-print care matters
The skull art by legendary skateboard artist Todd Bratrud is screen-printed, which means the design sits on top of the fabric. Without proper care, the print can crack, peel, or fade after a few washes. The soft, lightweight cotton-poly blend also shrinks if exposed to high heat.
Step-by-step care routine
- Wash inside out: Turn the T-shirt inside out before placing it in the machine. Use cold water and a gentle cycle. This protects the printed surface from abrasion against other clothes. Common mistake: washing right-side out speeds up print wear.
- Skip the dryer: Air dry the shirt flat or on a hanger away from direct sunlight. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove while slightly damp. High heat is the main cause of shrinkage and print cracking.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Mild detergent is enough. For stains, spot treat with a small amount of detergent and a soft brush before washing. Fabric softener can break down the print adhesive over time.
- Store flat or folded: Fold the shirt and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging for long periods can stretch the neckline and shoulders. Keep away from direct light to prevent fading. Avoid wire hangers that can leave rust marks on the fabric.
