The Rosepark Dinosaur Graphic Tee features a 95% cotton and 5% spandex blend, designed to offer high breathability and a comfortable stretch for active teenagers. The reactive dye process used for the black fabric helps maintain color saturation through multiple washes compared to standard pigment dyes. This material weight is typical for modern casual wear, providing a balance of softness and coverage.
The dinosaur graphic is a plastisol screen print. Because the base fabric is elastic but the ink is rigid, an "elasticity mismatch" can occur. To help protect the graphic from cracking, it is practical to wash the shirt inside out. Additionally, while the spandex helps with initial fit, the high cotton content means the shirt is prone to some bagging at the hem and shrinkage if exposed to high dryer temperatures.
Specifications show the use of standard overlock stitching at the shoulders. For long-term use, it is helpful to monitor stress points during active wear. The sizing for this item tends to run slightly smaller than standard North American charts, so selecting a size up may provide a more reliable fit for a growing child.
If you require a more traditional fit in a school-themed design, you may want to view this colorful rainbow teacher tee for a different aesthetic.
Efficiently storing folded graphic tees can be improved by using stackable plastic drawers to prevent heavy stacks from crushing the printed designs.
