Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bourbon Crewneck good for layering in spring and autumn?
Yes. The Wolvyn Bourbon Essential Crewneck Long-Sleeve T-Shirt (Item RT0061) is designed for seasonal layering because it combines an 85% cotton / 15% polyester blend with a moderate fabric weight of 8.3 oz/yd² (280 g/m²), which gives breathable softness while retaining enough body to layer under jackets or over tees. Its drop-shoulder, loose-fit cut creates space for additional layers without feeling tight at the shoulders or chest. This makes it ideal for transitional weather, casual streetwear layering, and light outdoor use. As a limitation, it may be warmer than lightweight tees in hot summer weather and is not as insulating as heavy sweats for very cold conditions, so plan layers accordingly.
Will the Bourbon Crewneck keep its shape after washing?
Yes. The Bourbon Crewneck is formulated to resist common post-wash issues because the 15% polyester content helps reduce shrinkage and improve shape retention, while the heavier 8.3 oz/yd² (280 g/m²) fabric preserves garment structure. Wolvyn inspects garments during production and documents Item RT0061 specifications to support consistent quality. Following the care instructions—machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and iron low avoiding the print—will further maintain fit and fabric hand. Note that minor batch variations in dye or fabric can occur, so checking the garment after the first wash is recommended.
How does the sizing run for the Bourbon Crewneck and how should I choose a size?
This tee is cut for a relaxed, loose fit. The Bourbon Essential Crewneck provides clear measurements to guide selection: chest widths range from 55 cm for size S up to 63 cm for 2XL, lengths run from 70 cm (S) to 78 cm (2XL), shoulders measure 51–59 cm, and sleeves 56–60 cm. Because of the drop-shoulder, the silhouette sits more relaxed across the shoulders than a fitted tee. To pick the best size, measure a favorite long-sleeve shirt across the chest and length and compare those numbers to these values. Keep in mind minor batch differences can occur, so when in doubt choose the size that matches your preferred relaxed fit.
Can I print large graphics or use all-over print on this crewneck?
Yes. The Bourbon Crewneck is print-ready and supports large graphics because it offers a generous print area of 40 x 52 cm and a fabric composition amenable to common printing methods. The 85% cotton / 15% polyester blend and 8.3 oz/yd² (280 g/m²) weight provide stable surface and structure for screen printing, sublimation-compatible processes, and many all-over-print techniques used in graphic crew tees. To preserve print quality, follow care instructions: wash at 30°C gentle, tumble dry low, and iron low avoiding printed areas. For very heavy ink coverage or specialty finishes, a sample print is recommended to confirm hand feel and color payoff.
Is the Bourbon Crewneck suitable for outdoor activities or casual exercise?
Yes, for low- to moderate-intensity outdoor activities the Bourbon Crewneck performs well. The breathable 85% cotton / 15% polyester blend offers comfort during walks, light hikes, errands, and everyday athleisure use, while the 8.3 oz/yd² (280 g/m²) fabric provides moderate protection from breeze and chill when layered. The relaxed, drop-shoulder cut allows unrestricted movement for casual activity. As a limitation, it is not designed as a high-performance technical garment for intense workouts where rapid moisture wicking and quick-dry synthetics would be preferable. For heavy or high-sweat training, consider technical performance pieces instead.
