We present two sets of washing instructions and let you choose.
Suggestion One:
After use, relax in a hammock between two palmed coconut trees on a tropical island. Then, whilst two attractive enthusiastic locals feed you fruit and hand wash your garment in fresh water and some naturally made soap, you ponder logging on to slapthegoon.com and purchasing your next garment, with similar washing instructions. Remember, let your garment be air dried by the warm summer breeze, before re wearing it to the local beach bar that evening for a night of getting noticed.
Suggestion Two:
Whilst not as alluring as suggestion one, we are required by law and driven by our desire for customer satisfaction to provide the following option.
Machine wash in cold or warm water. Do not tumble dry, especially not whilst wearing. If you must tumble dry remove garment from body and then proceed with low heat. If you are planning on using a dryer you may wish to order a size larger than normal to adjust for shrinkage. See size chart. Air dry is best. Do not iron over print. Whilst shrinkage may occur in dryers Slap the Goon cannot be held responsible.
* Men if excessive shrinkage is affecting your luck with the ladies stop swimming in cold water and remove any stimulants from your lifestyle that may be known to cause the same effect. Good luck.
For those who don’t like washing:
• If traveling, sneak it in with someone else’s wash.
• Don’t wash it until u smell like a pole cat and use the money u saved on washing to buy beer. (or a new shirt)
• Enter and wear it in a Wet T Shirt competition.
• Have someone’s mum or girlfriend wash it for you. Always say thank you!
• Go surfing in it and take a couple of wipeouts. Natures spin cycle. It will also double as sun protection. Remember to rinse in fresh water.
Shrinkage
Just about all our garments are made from 100% cotton. Most garments shrink a half size, (even when they say pre shrunk) depending on the manner in which they are washed and dried.
We always suggest that you measure a shirt that you already have and make a purchase decision from there. If you are going to use a tumble dryer then it is probably a good idea to order a size larger. Purely your decision. It depends on how fitting you want the Tee to be.
Shrinkage will always occur in garments if you tumble dry them. This is especially the case if you leave the garment in the dryer after it has actually dried. Hey, we’ve all done it and pulled out a tee the size of a dinner plate, AND it’s usually your favourite one.
