Slightly loose fit: more comfortable than regular but not oversized. Model reference: height 186cm wears size L (chest approx. 100-105cm). Sizing tip: if you are between two sizes, take your usual size for a slightly loose fit; if you prefer a tighter fit, size down; if you want an oversized look, size up.

Approximate size guide: S (chest 90-95cm), M (95-100cm), L (100-105cm), XL (105-110cm), 2XL (110-115cm).
Care and Durability
Washing: machine wash MAX 30°C inside out to preserve Polaris star print and black color, avoid bleach, delicate spin cycle. Drying: lay flat or hang, DO NOT tumble dry (risk of shrinkage and print damage). Ironing: low-medium iron (110-130°C) inside out if necessary, avoid direct ironing on print. Storage: fold or hang, avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure (black fading). With proper care, estimated durability 2-4 years of regular use (150-250 washes). The cotton-polyester blend maintains shape better than 100% cotton.
