T-shirts are as easy to wash as they are to wear and the Light T-Shirt’s no exception.

Of course, you’ll be washing your tees more than your outerwear, so it’s well worth taking a little care when it’s time to freshen up.

Tees are washing machine-friendly. We recommend washing your tee inside out with similar colours at a maximum temperature of 30°C.

We recommend liquid detergents because the powdered ones usually leave marks on dark colours. We always push for gentler, organic detergents, and stay well clear of any that contain bleaching agents.

Never wring out your T-Shirt, it’s not your Sunday League socks.

Best bet is to machine-spin it, limiting the program to 800/900 rpm tops to avoid damaging the cotton fibres. Once the excess water’s out, just dry it flat in a well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.

Once your tee’s dry, you can iron it on a low heat (cotton setting, 2 dot setting on the iron), avoiding the seams. Layering some material between the iron and your favourite tee can’t hurt either. A clean tea-towel will do.

Since 1 January 2024, the New French environmental legislation known as The AGEC Law stipulates transparency from our lot in the fashion industry so that you can make an informed purchase. As you can imagine, this is something that we fully support at Asphalte. So here's some additional information about our Light T-shirt:

• They’re 100% recyclable after being dismantled, which means that the day their services are no longer required every component can be fully recycled. If you stop wearing them for whatever reason, you might want to consider making someone else happy by passing them on to a friend, family member or donating them to a charity. The best way of reducing an item of clothing’s impact is by keeping it in circulation, and only recycling it when there really is no life or use left in it.
• Unlike many garments that release micro-plastics during washing, our Light T-shirt has been designed not to do so. Plastic microfibres are tiny particles of plastic that have a negative impact on aquatic and land ecosystems.
• It does not contain any hazardous materials. It is manufactured in compliance with strict standards aimed at eliminating the use of harmful substances and other chemical nasties.
• It does not contain any recycled materials. We try and incorporate recycled materials whenever we can, unfortunately it hasn’t been possible to do so with the Light T-shirt.

There, you have it all now.
