APPAREL FAQ's
LOOKS LIKE MOST OF YOUR APPAREL IS SCREEN PRINTED BY HAND. WHAT KIND OF FABRICS DO YOU PRINT ON?
The two major brands we prefer for our hand-screen printed apparel are Bella + Canvas and Alternative Apparel. Here's why we chose these two companies:
-Bella + Canvas
"Doing things the right way has never been up for debate. We have been manufacturing in the U.S. and internationally in a no-sweat-shop, humane, sustainable way since day one. Our Platinum W.R.A.P. certification is just a small indication of how hard we work to make our sewing and cutting floors pleasant, productive, comfortable places to be."
- Clean Cotton: We comb out 2.5x more impurities than standard ring spun cotton
- Long Staple Cotton: This makes for less stray fibers and a tight-knit print surface
- Eco-Dyed: Our fabric is dyed using 7x less water and eco-friendly dyes
-Alternative Apparel
"Innovating from thread to finish. We make timeless, authentically worn-in styles that people want to wear today and tomorrow. Offering the best in everyday basics, Alternative creates wardrobe staples with modern silhouettes, balancing simplicity and style. Our design is rooted in sustainable and eco-friendly practices. We source the finest fabrics for softness and durability, and incorporate organic and recycled materials wherever possible."
- Organic Cotton -Approximately 60K lbs of organic cotton used annually in place of conventional cotton.
- Post-Consumer Recycled Poylester- Approximately 1.8M plastic bottles recycled annually used in our Alternative-Eco™ fabrics
- Low-Impact Dyes - Low-impact dyes, biodegradable fabric softeners and washes with reclaimed water.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging - 2,100 trees, 400 cubic yards of landfill, 860k gallons of water and 120 tons of CO2 conserved annually
IS YOUR APPAREL PRE-SHRUNK?
Bella + Canvas and Alternative Apparel items are always specially washed, which not only gives them their super soft texture, but pre-shrinks them as well. As with all jersey garments, however, they may shrink a little in the wash and stretch a little during wear.
HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY SOLEY ALOHA APPAREL?
While the fabric is pre-shrunk, we do highly recommend to wash with cold water and like colors. Tumble dry on low is possible as well. For any garments from our UPF Collection, wash normally and please hang dry to maintain the ultraviolet protective film effectiveness. Care instructions are also listed on each individual garment tag. Please double check those specific instructions before washing.
HOW DO YOUR SIZES WORK?
Our garments come in multiple fits, including regular fit, slim fit, relaxed fit, etc. but because they are preshrunk they can tend to run slightly small. See individual product descriptions for any items that don't run true to size. Size charts are included on each product page as well.
