Easy Care Instructions
Easy Care Instructions
Follow these care instructions and your t-shirts will keep their vibrant colors.
- Wash and dry your t-shirts inside out. It's a simple yet crucial step.
- Use low temperatures and gentle detergents. Your shirt isn't doing duty in the pit, so avoid high heat!
- Resist the temptation to spin excessively. Extra spins can lead to more wear and tear.
- Air dry your t-shirts whenever possible. If tumble drying, avoid mixing them with heavyweight items like winter coats and blankets.
- Iron your t-shirts inside out and start with a lower heat setting. Designs and irons aren't always the best of friends.

The quality of the shirt and printing both were good quality. Fit was as advertised.
Great shirt - good quality, comfortable and the design is quality with a strong message. People forget the Cold War and how close the world came to glowing in the dark. This shirt is a great way to help "Sand Crabs" remember.
The tshirts were a gift for my husband. He loves them all.
Great products
Definitely buy here again
I love buying my shirts here and this one is extra special to me because I always thought I had never served in a time that was worthy of what I was getting. Thank you for coming out with this shirt. It made me realize that I served through a special time.
It's about time someone acknowledged the vets of the cold war. Many died without medals because it was top secret. Some were my friends. Thanks
The shirt is the same excellent quality as everything you sell, but the graphics on this one really say what I have been wanting to say for thirty years. People who have never been in the military don't have a clue what it costs the people who serve, whether they are in a hot war, or trying to prevent one. Thanks
