Our t-shirts arrive looking absolutely great and ready to go! We use a special direct printing method rather than traditional silk screening. So, you won't feel the weight and scratchiness of that thick silk screen ink when you wear our t-shirts!All you'll feel is that soft (very soft) pure cotton. The t-shirts will"fluff up" over time as they are put through the wash. Close your eyes and run your hands over one of our high quality t-shirts – you can't even tell something is printed on the t-shirt! Amazing, and very cool. After a couple of washes, these t-shirts will soften up and look worn –but, it's a brand new t-shirt, ready for years and years of faithful service. Visit the EricHatheway.com Online Store today. You'll feel and see the difference. Happy shopping, you'll look great!
