How to take care of cotton jersey

Cotton is the most used natural fabric worldwide. There are many types of cotton fabrics available and many uses for it. To be safe, we suggest you have a look at the care instructions for the specific item before washing. As a natural fiber, cotton is prone to shrinkage - the looser/more elastic the knit, the more potential shrinkage. At Asket we prewash all our clothing to eliminate shrinkage, but this is not always the case for cotton clothing. This is a general guide of how to care for cotton clothes, helping you make your garments look better and last longer.

A Case Study: The T-Shirt

Marking ten years of the Asket T-Shirt - we are dedicating the first edit of our explorational campaign series “A Case Study” to this universal staple. We pick apart its anatomy and story. Its design and texture, the craftsmanship and considerations that go into making something so seemingly simple a lifelong pursuit.
