Skyrim Dragonborn T-Shirt: Sizing and Care for Fans

Quick answer

Wash your Skyrim Dragonborn t-shirt inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air-dry it flat or hang it—never tumble dry—to protect the printed artwork. Before buying the size S, measure a favorite tee flat and compare its chest width to the size chart rather than guessing from your usual size.

Step-by-step wash and wear routine

1. Turn the shirt inside out before washing: Close any zippers or hooks on other garments in the load, then turn the Dragonborn tee inside out so the printed side faces inward. This reduces friction against the drum and other clothes. Check that the print is fully protected before the machine starts—once the cycle begins, you cannot fix a reversed shirt.
2. Use cold water and a gentle cycle: Set your machine to cold water (30°C or lower) and a gentle or delicate cycle. Hot water softens the ink bond and speeds up fading, so avoid the regular cotton cycle even if the shirt feels sturdy. If your machine has a spin-speed setting, choose the lowest spin to reduce pulling on the print.
3. Skip fabric softener and bleach: Use a mild liquid detergent and leave out fabric softener, bleach, and dryer sheets. Softener leaves a coating that can dull the print, and bleach attacks both dye and ink. Measure detergent rather than pouring freely—residue left in the fabric can stiffen the print over time.
4. Air-dry flat or hang, never tumble: Reshape the shirt while damp and dry it flat on a rack or hang it on a wide plastic hanger. Tumble drying is the fastest way to crack a printed graphic because heat and tumbling work together against the ink. If you must speed drying, use the lowest heat setting for a short time and remove the shirt while still slightly damp.
5. Iron only from the inside: If the shirt wrinkles, iron it inside out on a low setting with no steam directly on the printed area, or place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the print. Never press a hot iron directly onto the Dragonborn artwork. Test the iron on an inside seam first to confirm the temperature is safe for the fabric.
6. Check the fit before the first wash: Try the size S shirt on before washing and raise your arms to check shoulder movement. If the chest feels tight or the print pulls across the design, exchange it before washing, since washed garments usually cannot be returned. Measure a well-fitting t-shirt flat from armpit to armpit and compare it to the size chart—this is more reliable than your usual label size.
