Washing Instructions
Washing Instructions
Wash and dry your t-shirts inside out. It's a simple yet crucial step.
- Opt for low temperatures and gentle detergents.
- Resist the temptation to spin excessively. Extra spins can lead to more wear and tear.
- Air dry your t-shirts whenever possible. If tumble drying, avoid heavyweight companions like winter coats and blankets.
- Iron your t-shirts inside out and start with a lower heat setting. Designs and irons aren't always the best of friends.

Customer Reviews
This shirt has already been a great witnessing tool as a conversation starter. It fits very well and is of good quality.
As a student of history and particularly the Church Fathers, I love this t shirt. Humbly reminding people that over 1700 years ago the Council of Nicaea laid down the foundation of faith as received from our Lord and taught by the Apostles. Thank you.
Great shirt! Good quality and printing. Great Father’s Day gift!
A great conversation starter, it ertainly gets attention!
So, I have to admit, I bought this shirt after reading the early church fathers. I'm hoping to kick off a conversation and ideally use it as a way to connect people to the Church. I love the shirts at Hardcore Catholic. Great quality, arrived fast, great service. Keep them coming!
