Design Note:

This design is sublimated on a 50/50 blend shirt, which results in a faded, vintage-style look after washing. It’s part of the charm and gives the shirt a well-loved, retro vibe—this is expected and intentional.

Please see the video of the shirt before and after washing so you can preview how it wears in. (Hint: it looks even better after the first wash!)
