Sizing & Care

A few measurements can save a lot of guessing

Take a shirt you like, lay it flat, and measure its width and length. Compare those measurements with the chart for the Walking Salty shirt you want.

Our classic tees and boxy streetwear tees are different cuts. Hoodies and sweatshirts have their own measurements, too. Do not assume your usual size in one will fit the same in another. Check the fit and material notes on the product page; some colors use a different fabric blend.

If you cannot find the chart or you are between sizes, ask us before ordering. Tell us which shirt you are considering and how you like it to fit. We would much rather help you choose than have you end up with a shirt you cannot enjoy.

Help the print last

  • Follow the garment's care label first.
  • Turn printed clothing inside out and wash in cold water with similar colors.
  • Use a mild detergent. Keep bleach and harsh stain treatments away from the print.
  • Air dry, or use low heat if the care label allows it.
  • Do not iron directly on the design.

Hats need a gentler approach

Check the label before washing a hat. Gentle spot cleaning and air drying are a good starting point. Do not put a structured cap in the washer or dryer unless its care instructions say you can, and avoid scrubbing hard over embroidery.
