Frequently asked questions
To help you care for your unique, hand-designed Chakratees t-shirt and ensure it fits you perfectly, we've compiled answers to our most common questions. Our goal is for your t-shirt to last for ages, just like we intended when we created it.
How can someone best figure out their size to get that 'second skin' fit you talk about? What measurements are most important for our t-shirts?
For that signature 'second skin' fit inspired by vintage 1970s tees, the most crucial measurements are your bust/chest and waist. We recommend measuring a favourite fitted t-shirt that you already own and comparing those measurements to our detailed sizing chart. Remember, our designs are cut to hug the body, so a snug fit is intentional for the Chakratees experience.
Do our t-shirt sizes typically run true to what people usually expect, or should they consider going up or down for their preferred fit?
Chakratees are designed with a fitted, fashion-forward silhouette, inspired by the snug fit of vintage 1970s tees. While we provide comprehensive sizing charts, our t-shirts are cut to 'hug the body like a second skin.' This means if you prefer a looser, more relaxed fit than our intended form-fitting style, you might consider going up one size. Always refer to our size chart with your measurements for the best decision.
What are the most important things customers need to do (or avoid!) to keep their hand-designed t-shirt looking its best for a long time?
To preserve the unique hand-designed artwork and the quality of your 100% combed cotton Chakratees, always wash it inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or, even better, air dry it flat to prevent shrinking and protect the print. Never iron directly over the design – if needed, iron the t-shirt inside out on a low setting.
Do you have any special secrets or clever tips to share that will help customers make their Chakratees t-shirt last for ages?
Beyond our core care instructions, a clever tip for longevity is to store your Chakratees folded rather than hung, to prevent stretching, especially around the neckline. Treat it with the love and intention with which it was created – our t-shirts are designed to be cherished for years, becoming softer and more beloved with every wear. Protect the hand-painted details from abrasive surfaces and direct, prolonged sunlight when drying.
