AG2316 snow-wash: what to expect

AG2316 snow-wash: what to expect

Arrive Guide 2316 is our lightest shirt type at 205 GSM, and the only one that arrives looking worn. The effect is created in the dyeing, not by printing a texture over the cloth.

Why it looks uneven

Snow-washing deliberately produces variation across the garment: lighter patches, softer edges, a slightly faded cast. No two pieces are identical. That is the point of the finish, not a fault.

What it changes about printing

A lighter, softer cloth takes ink differently. Prints on Arrive Guide 2316 read slightly softer at the edges than on Arrive Guide 240, and very fine linework loses a little crispness. Large, bold graphics suit it best.

Size range

Arrive Guide 2316 runs S to 3XL. It does not exist above 3XL, so a design that must be available in 4XL or larger cannot be produced on this shirt type — it moves to Arrive Guide 240.

Care

Wash cold and inside out. Because the finish is already faded, avoid anything that accelerates fading further: hot water, tumble drying, and direct sun while drying.

Common questions

Why does a snow-wash shirt look uneven?

The fading is created in the dyeing, so variation across the garment is intentional.

No. Arrive Guide 2316 runs S to 3XL.
