Shark WerksGray Short Sleeve T-Shirt

In another collaboration with Heel and Toe Apparel, you can go swimming with sharks this summer in our latest Short Sleeve T-shirt. This cozy and silky soft Los Angeles Apparel Tri-Blend shirt features a prominent SHARKWERKS logo on the front, as well as a little Shark friend on the back. There's even a fin on the front tag. This high quality shirt is printed with water-based inks, made in the USA, and has a printed collar tag that you won't even feel. 

The shirt is especially nice for warm weather, but with its breathable fabric it's great for all kinds of outdoor activities.

• Silky-soft premium Los Angeles Apparel Tri-Blend shirt made in the USA
• Water-based discharge ink for supple feel and vintage look
• Printed collar 'tag' replaces itchy fabric tag
• Embroidered Shark Werks & H&T hem tag for bespoke feel

THE SHIRT 
We use a Tri-Blend Los Angeles Apparel shirt for this design, made proudly sweatshop-free in the United States. Sure, these cost us a few more dollars than other brands, but we believe the premium quality is worth every penny. 

THE PRINTING 
Our shirts are silk-screened by skilled craftsmen in Portland, Oregon, at a shop renowned for their work with water-based and discharge inks. Unlike plastisol inks which place a layer of plastic-like ink on the surface, these special inks actually dye the fibers of the fabric. This leaves a printed area that is light and soft to the touch that won't crack and disintegrate from wear and washing. When using a lighter ink on a darker shirt (such as in this design), a discharge agent is added to the ink that bleaches the original dye from the organic fabric; this creates a distinct heathered effect when used on blend fabrics, giving the print a broken-in or vintage feel as it's washed.
