Product Information
APPAREL
SHIRTS
Our entire collection features Giladn 50% cotton & 50% polyester (unless stated otherwise).
Engineered to balance comfort, durability, and easy care.
-
Durability and Strength: The polyester content adds significant strength, making the fabric more resistant to tearing, shrinking, and stretching compared to 100% cotton.
-
Wrinkle Resistance: It is less prone to wrinkling, which means less ironing and a consistently neat appearance, making it a low-maintenance option.
-
Color Retention: The fabric holds color well and resists fading, ensuring that garments and textiles look new for longer.
-
Moderate Breathability: While not as breathable as pure cotton, the cotton content still allows for better air circulation and moisture absorption than 100% polyester.
-
Quick Drying: It dries faster than pure cotton due to the polyester fibers, which is convenient for washing and for managing light moisture during activities.
Note: 100% cotton can be used upon customer request

Embroidered Toque Washing Instructions
Recommended Method: Hand Washing
-
Prepare a Bath: Fill a sink or basin with cool or lukewarm water (max 30°C/85°F).
-
Add Detergent: Mix in a small amount of mild, pH-neutral liquid detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can degrade embroidery thread.
-
Soak and Agitate: Turn the toque inside out. Submerge it and gently swirl for 10–15 minutes. Do not scrub the embroidery directly, as this can cause fraying.
-
Rinse: Rinse thoroughly in fresh cool water until all soap is removed.
-
Remove Water: Gently press out excess water. Never wring or twist the toque, as this permanently distorts the knit and embroidery.
EMBROIDERY
Our embroidery design are stitched with 100% polyester thread from Simthread.
-
Quality & Durability: Built to last. We use premium 100% polyester thread for all our embroidery to ensure maximum durability. This high-strength thread is resistant to bleaching, fading, and fraying, so your custom designs stay sharp and professional even after heavy washing and industrial wear.
-
Vibrant & Color-Fast: Colors that pop! Every design is stitched with top-tier 100% polyester embroidery thread. Known for its incredible sheen and superior color-fastness, our thread ensures your apparel stays vibrant and won't bleed in the wash. Enjoy a luxurious finish that looks as good on day 100 as it did on day 1.
Washing Instructions
-
Turn Inside Out: This is critical for embroidery. It prevents the stitches from rubbing against the machine or snagging on zippers and buttons from other clothes as recommended by embroidery experts.
-
Wash in Cold Water: Cold water prevents the cotton fibers in your 50/50 blend from shrinking. If the fabric shrinks but the polyester thread doesn't, you get that wavy "puckering" look around the logo.
-
Use a Delicate Cycle: A slower spin cycle reduces the mechanical stress on the embroidery's stabilizer (the material behind the stitches).
-
Avoid Bleach & Softeners: Even though your polyester thread is bleach-resistant, the cotton in the shirt blend is not. Bleach will fade the fabric around the stitches, making the embroidery look "haloed."
-
Tumble Dry on Low Heat: High heat can distort the embroidery's shape. For the best results, air dry the garment flat.
-
Ironing Tip: Never iron directly onto the stitches. If you must iron, place a pressing cloth or a clean pillowcase over the embroidery and iron on a medium setting to protect the thread's sheen.
Printed Designs
Our Direct-To-Film designs are printed with a high-quality printer and then transferred to the garment using a heat press.
-
High-Quality Tech: Experience the next level of custom apparel with our Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing. Unlike traditional methods, DTF allows for high-definition, full-colour designs that are incredibly thin and flexible. The result? A vibrant, soft-to-the-touch finish that moves with you and won't crack or peel, even after dozens of washes.
-
Durability & Comfort: We use cutting-edge DTF technology to ensure your gear looks as good as it performs. Our prints are engineered for maximum durability and stretch, meaning they won't stiffen the fabric or lose their detail. Whether it’s 100% cotton or a performance blend, you get a lightweight, breathable design built to handle your busiest days.
Washing Instructions
-
Turn Inside Out: This is the #1 rule. It prevents the print from rubbing against the drum or other garments, which causes micro-scratches and fading.
-
Cold Water Wash: Keep it under 30°C (90°F). While polyester is tough, heat can cause the DTF adhesive to soften and eventually lift at the edges.
-
Avoid Fabric Softener: Poly-blends are already soft; avoid softeners as they contain chemicals that can break down the bond between the DTF ink and the fabric fibers.
-
Tumble Dry Low or Hang Dry: High heat is the enemy of both polyester (which can shrink/scorch) and DTF. Use the lowest heat setting or air dry for maximum lifespan.
-
Never Iron the Design: If the shirt is wrinkled, iron it inside out on a low setting. Direct heat will melt the DTF transfer instantly.
