Our Bamboo Tees Still Look and Feel Awesome After 25 Washes!

Our bamboo tees, printed with the REHANCE eco-friendlier dye process, hold their colour and durability even after 25 washings.

We had of course read good things about T.S. Designs' eco-friendlier REHANCE T-shirt dye process when we chose them for all of our T-shirt printing. Not only is the process much kinder to the environment because it doesn't use plastic PVC inks, but it makes a better T-shirt because the fabric is dyed rather than printed, creating a more durable and wearable garment. You can read about REHANCE here in the About Our Tees section.

With our first batch of Tees, we were really thrilled with the reproduction detail possible with REHANCE. Now we're thrilled again with its durability, because we just finished washing one of the first Tees made for the 25th time.

Just an informal little product test — no special treatment, just my own personal Which Side do You Want to Be On? Tee, which I wear every week, thrown in with the weekly load of coloured clothes into a top load washer, cold water, no bleach and COSTCO eco-friendly detergent. Well, we're amazed. Hardly any fade in the colours, and Bamboosa's 70/30 bamboo Tee has held up really well. In fact it's hard to pick out which is the used Tee and which is the new one unless you place them side-by-side.

We'll be sure to bring you an update on my "Which Side do You Want to Be On?" Tee on its 50th trip through the Maytag. And another thing — the T-shirt smells great after every wash (maybe not so good going in mind you). Unlike t-shirts made with synthetic and 'marketing speak' nano and performance fibres, bamboo doesn't hold any nasty BO. What more could you want in a Tee?
