Local brand t-shirts, especially from Vietnamese brands like BEFAS, are increasingly popular for their unique minimal streetwear style and superior quality. Proper care is crucial to keep your favorite oversize tees looking as good as new. Today, BEFAS shares essential tips for maintaining your local brand apparel.
First, let's talk about washing. For local brand t-shirts, particularly those made from thick cotton, hand washing is always the best option. If you must use a washing machine, turn the shirt inside out and use a gentle cycle with a laundry bag to minimize friction. Cold water or lukewarm water below 30°C is ideal; avoid hot water, which can cause colors to fade and the fabric to shrink.
Choose mild detergents without harsh bleaching agents. This helps protect the cotton fibers, keeping your local brand t-shirt colors vibrant and preventing pilling. For printed tees, using a detergent specifically for printed garments will help preserve the graphic.
Washing care also extends to drying. Avoid drying your t-shirts directly under strong sunlight, especially during midday. Intense sun can fade colors and make the fabric look worn. Instead, dry them in a cool, shaded area or indoors.
A key tip for maintaining the shape of local brand t-shirts, especially the signature oversize fit from BEFAS, is to let them dry in their natural state. Avoid using clothespins on the shoulders, as this can stretch or distort the fabric. It's best to hang them on a hanger or lay them flat to dry.
For stubborn stains, don't scrub aggressively. Try spot cleaning or soaking the affected area with an appropriate detergent before washing the entire garment. Addressing stains promptly helps prevent them from setting or causing discoloration.
Post-wash care for oversize t-shirts requires finesse. Avoid high-heat machine drying, as it can damage the fabric's structure and shape. If you need to use a dryer, opt for a cool or low-heat setting.
When storing, fold your t-shirts neatly instead of hanging them if your closet space allows, especially for shirts with a natural drape. This helps them maintain their original shape and reduces wrinkles.
Many appreciate Vietnamese local brands like DirtyCoins, Hades, Degrey, SWE, ClownZ, and BEFAS for their investment in quality materials and design. Applying these care tips will help extend the life of your beloved local brand t-shirts, whether they fit a minimal or streetwear aesthetic.
