The By Parra Special Books T-Shirt in White integrates the label’s signature surrealist artwork with a high-quality garment construction that stands apart from standard jersey basics. This short-sleeve top is made from a bespoke 100% cotton fabric that provides a resilient and comfortable feel, ensuring it maintains its integrity through frequent wear. By employing an eco-pre-wash treatment at the manufacturing stage, the shirt arrives with a soft, laundered texture while significantly reducing the risk of shrinkage after your first home wash. It serves as an ideal choice for those who appreciate wearable art, offering a vibrant, multi-coloured graphic that brings a distinct visual character to a classic white silhouette.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This t-shirt is designed with a standard regular fit, providing a straight and comfortable silhouette
• The custom-knit cotton offers a structured drape that avoids being too thin or sheer
  
• Thanks to the factory pre-wash, the garment fits true to size and will not lose its form after washing

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30 degrees inside out to safeguard the integrity of the screen-printed graphics
• Use a gentle detergent and avoid bleach to keep the white fabric crisp and the print colours vibrant
• Hang to air dry naturally to prevent heat damage to the fibres and the printed area
• Iron on a medium setting if required, ensuring you do not iron directly over any part of the graphic

Our By Parra Special Books T-Shirt FAQs

1. How is the print quality on this t-shirt?
   By Parra uses high-end water-based inks that penetrate the cotton fibres rather than sitting on top, resulting in a print that is soft to the touch and less prone to cracking.

2. Will the white fabric shrink?
   Because this t-shirt is pre-washed during production, the majority of natural cotton shrinkage has already occurred, meaning the fit will remain consistent.

3. Where is this garment manufactured?
   Most By Parra cotton products are produced in Portugal, ensuring high construction standards and ethical working conditions throughout the supply chain.
