Apparel education
Two t-shirts can use the same cotton and still feel completely different.
The difference is the wash. Here's what bio-wash and special wash change, and when to use each.

Bio-wash
A cellulase enzyme wash that eats the loose fibre ends on the fabric surface. The result is a cleaner face, fewer pills after washing and a slightly smoother hand. It's the baseline we recommend on most cotton tees and uniforms.
Special wash
Our enzyme-plus-softener process, tuned for hand feel. It goes further than bio-wash: the fabric comes out noticeably soft and 'broken in' from the first wear, with a premium drape. It's what makes a merch tee feel like a brand tee — and why people keep it.
| Bio-wash | Special wash | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Clean surface, less pilling | Soft, premium hand feel |
| Best on | Uniforms, everyday tees | Merch, D2C, gifting |
| Hand feel | Smooth | Soft and broken-in |
| Cost | Baseline | Slightly higher |
