Learn how to wash and care for your washed tee to keep it looking soft and faded. Tips for the Aae Washed Tee and other washed black tees.
Quick answer
Wash your washed tee inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry to preserve the vintage wash and soft feel.
Why special care matters for washed tees
Washed tees get their lived-in look from a special garment wash. This process gives the fabric a soft hand and a faded, vintage appearance. Harsh washing can strip this finish, making the tee look flat or feel stiff.
The Aae Washed Tee in Washed Black has a tonal chest embroidery and rolled sleeves. To keep those details sharp and the black color from turning muddy, gentle care is key.
Wash and care FAQ
- How should I wash my washed tee?
- Turn the tee inside out. Use cold water (max 30°C / 86°F) and a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softener as they can damage the wash effect. Inside out + cold + gentle cycle = best results.
- Can I put my washed tee in the dryer?
- It's best to air dry. Lay the tee flat or hang it away from direct sunlight. High heat can shrink the cotton and fade the wash unevenly. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting and remove while still slightly damp. Air dry to preserve fit and color.
- How do I remove stains without ruining the wash?
- Treat stains immediately with a small amount of mild detergent. Gently rub the spot with your fingers, then rinse with cold water. Do not scrub hard or use stain removers with bleach. Wash as usual afterward. Spot treat stains gently; avoid bleach.
- How often should I wash my washed tee?
- Only wash when it's visibly soiled or has an odor. Over-washing fades the wash faster. For light wear after a few hours, airing it out is enough. Wash less often to extend the washed look.
Product fact
- Aae Washed Tee Washed Black: The Aae Washed Tee features a vintage-style wash for a lived-in look, with tonal branded chest embroidery and rolled sleeves.
