Care Instructions

• To preserve the premium natural fibers and shape of your garment, follow these instructions:

• ​Wash: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Wash inside out with like colors.
• ​Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners, as they coat the natural fibers and hinder their performance properties.
• ​Bleaching: Do not bleach.
• ​Drying: Do not tumble dry. Line dry immediately in the shade.
• ​Ironing: Cool iron if needed.
• ​Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Professional Tips from X-Boundaries

• The Smart Pack Alternative: Linen blends are notorious for wrinkling, but the heavy inclusion of merino wool helps this tee bounce back much faster. For travel, use the "roll packing" method rather than folding to minimize crease lines in your luggage.
• ​Warm Weather Layering: This is a fantastic transitional base layer. While 100% merino keeps you warm, the 30% linen composition significantly increases airflow, making this garment excel in high-humidity climates or hot summer afternoon hikes.
• ​Wash Bag Protection: Because linen fibers can be slightly more rigid when wet, wash this tee in a mesh laundry bag. This protects the delicate merino stitches from snagging on washing machine agitators or hardware from other garments.
