How to wash Custom Colors shirts

The important thing to know is that direct/reactive dyed items will be more colorfast than their pigment-dyed counterparts. They are more resilient to harsh detergents and hot water washes.

The colors of pigment-dyed apparel will fade slightly over ‌multiple washes, which is one quality people like. You could say it’s more wishy-washy. But both styles will become even softer‌.

Avoid using bleach, harsh detergents, and hot water. Turn the garment inside-out for best results, and use cold water wash with mild detergent. 

Comfort Colors FAQs

Are Custom Colors high quality?
Yes. Comfort Colors is recognized for durable, high-quality clothing and features extras like multi-needle waistbands, durable double-needle seams, and double-fold collars. Although considered a premium brand, Comfort Colors apparel is affordable for customizing.

What material are Comfort Colors made from?
Most garments are made with USA-grown, ring-spun cotton, but some Comfort Colors products are fabricated in a cotton/polyester blend. Most fabric weight is heavy, with some products being mid-weight.

How many colors are available?
Comfort Colors offers over 82 nature-inspired fabric colors to choose from. But not all garments have every color available (see color chart graphic).

What brands are similar?
ComfortWash by Hanes, Inspired Dye by Next Level, Beach Wash by Port & Company, and Garment Dyed by Champion are the closest competitors. Still, no other company making clothing in this category rivals Comfort Colors apparel's craftsmanship and fabric quality.

Is Comfort Colors apparel made in the USA?
Most of Comfort Colors' manufacturing process occurs in the United States, but some are performed overseas. All of their cotton fabric is USA-grown, including the thread; however, most items are constructed overseas and then dyed in the USA.

Is Custom Colors environmentally friendly?
Yes. Comfort Colors and their parent company, Gildan, are industry leaders in developing environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques. Their proprietary Clean Pigment Dyeing process (CPD) improves efficiency and sustainability by eliminating waste and reducing environmental impact. CPD uses 3x less water and 4x less energy.

Does Comfort Colors apparel run big or small?
Most garments run slightly larger/roomier than a typical T-shirt and especially larger than anything "fashion fit" or “slim fit," but should not be considered "oversized." Some ladies' Comfort Colors styles are semi-fitted, but all other items are "relaxed fit" or “classic fit."

Does Comfort Colors apparel shrink?
No. At least not any more than comparable cotton apparel. Comfort Colors are pre-shrunk, so if machine washing cool and drying at low-temp, the shirts should not shrink at all.
