Frequently Asked Questions
What is the City Skyline Aviation T-Shirt made of?
It is crafted from 100% ring spun combed cotton with a 4.3 ounce fabric weight. Ring spun combed cotton is twisted tightly and combed to remove shorter fibers, giving a soft, smooth, and durable feel. The mid weight strikes a balance between everyday durability and breathable comfort, so it suits all day wear in most seasons.
What does the design show?
The shirt features an exclusive nighttime cityscape that places you at the runway's edge, watching an aircraft depart against a brilliantly illuminated urban skyline. The classic Aeroplane Apparel Company logo sits above the scene. It captures the feeling of lifting off into a dark sky and seeing city lights stretch out below, a thrill pilots and frequent flyers know well.
What color and sizes does it come in?
The City Skyline tee comes in black, which makes the illuminated cityscape artwork stand out. Availability of specific sizes can change over time, so check the size selector on the product page for the options currently in stock. Click for Price and current availability before you order.
Is the shirt true to size and how does it fit?
The shirt is available in small through 2XL and is designed as a standard, comfortable everyday fit rather than a tight or oversized cut. Ordering your usual t-shirt size is a reasonable starting point, but if you are between sizes or prefer a roomier feel, sizing up one is a safe choice. Always confirm against the size selector on the product page.
How do I wash and care for it?
Machine wash it cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry on low. Do not bleach and do not dry clean. Turning the shirt inside out protects the printed cityscape graphic, and cold water with low heat drying helps preserve both the vivid artwork and the soft cotton feel over many wears and washes.
Will a 100% cotton shirt like this shrink?
All cotton can shrink slightly, but ring spun combed cotton is spun tighter and tends to shrink less than basic cotton. To minimize any shrinkage, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low rather than high heat, or let it air dry. Following the cold wash and low dry care instructions helps keep the fit consistent over time.
Is ring spun combed cotton better than regular cotton?
Ring spun combed cotton is generally considered a step up from basic cotton. The fibers are combed to remove shorter strands and then spun tightly, producing a thread that is smoother, softer, and more durable. The result is a shirt that feels nicer against the skin and holds up well to repeated washing, which is why it is favored for premium graphic tees.
