Fit & Sizing Reassurance

This t-shirt is designed to fit true to European retail sizes. Because our organic cotton is premium, combed, and pre-shrunk, you can confidently order your standard size. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed style for post-dive comfort, we recommend ordering one size up. Please consult our Size Guide above for exact measurements.

How to Care for Your Ocean Gear (Slow Fashion Care)

To ensure your shirt and its eco-friendly, water-based print stay in pristine condition for years of coastal adventures, we recommend these simple care steps:

• Wash: Machine wash cold (30°C) inside out with similar colors.
• Detergent: Use mild detergents to protect the fabric.
• Dry: Hang dry, avoid tumble dryers (but see our real-world note below).
• Iron: Iron on low heat, always on the reverse side of the printed design.

Real-World Care Note

We’re all human, and we know line-drying isn’t always an option. While we officially recommend air-drying, our personal experience is that these premium shirts withstand the dryer quite well. If you must use a machine, turn the shirt inside out, use the absolute lowest heat or “delicate” setting, and proceed at your own risk. Just please don’t bake it on high heat – the underwater graphics prefer to stay cool!

Crafted for You, Not for Landfills (Our Slow Fashion Promise)

Every Whalehug piece is individually printed specifically for you the moment your order is placed. By operating on a strictly made-to-order model rather than holding massive bulk inventory, we completely eliminate overproduction and prevent unsold garments from cluttering our planet.

It takes just a little bit longer to reach your doorstep, but it guarantees a cleaner, healthier ocean for all of us. Thank you for supporting slow fashion and making a mindful choice!
