Embrace The Chaos - Acid Wash Oversized Long Sleeve

What is it: The Embrace The Chaos Acid Wash Oversized Long Sleeve is a 250 GSM long sleeve in 100% cotton, finished with a true acid wash, and printed with the full Embrace The Chaos artwork across the back, with the Phantasmagorical logo on the left chest. Oversized body, drop shoulder, ribbed round neck. Purple, Black Beauty and Purple Haze, sizes S to 2XL.What the Embrace The Chaos design is aboutA knot of serpents fills the back, bodies passing over and under each other with no clear beginning and no end, with open eyes scattered all through the tangle. Drawn entirely in single weight white line, from our collaboration with Patakota.What 250 GSM means in a long sleeveMost long sleeve tees sold at retail sit around 150 to 180 GSM and go thin at the elbow inside a season. This one is 250 GSM, which is 7.4 oz per square yard. The extra yarn is what lets the body hang instead of cling, and it gives the print a stable surface rather than a stretched one.How the acid wash is doneAcid wash is a garment wash. It is applied after the piece is sewn, not to the yarn, so the fade breaks across the seams and down the sleeves and lands a little differently on every unit. Two pieces in the same colorway will not match each other exactly. That is the finish doing its job.The fitCut oversized with a drop shoulder, so the sleeve seam sits down the arm and the shoulder line reads wide. Ribbed round neck, straight hem, long enough to wear out over the waist. For reference, Russell (founder) is 6'2" and 180 lbs and wears an XL in this cut. Order your normal size for the look in the photos, or size down one if you want it closer.Technical Specifications Material: 100% cotton Weight: 250 GSM (7.4 oz/yd2) Finish: Acid wash, applied to the finished garment Fit: Oversized, drop shoulder Details: Ribbed round neck, long set in sleeves, straight hem Print: Full Embrace The Chaos artwork across the back, Phantasmagorical logo on the left chest Colors: Purple, Black Beauty, Purple Haze Sizes: S to 2XL Care: Machine wash cold on gentle, no bleach, tumble dry low, iron low and keep the iron off the print, do not dry clean Best for: Fall and spring layering, cold desert nights, the everyday rotation Sizing GuideEvery figure below is the garment laid flat, in inches.

Acid wash is applied to the finished garment, so the fade pattern is different on every unit. The print is consistent, the wash under it is not.Is 250 GSM heavy for a long sleeve?Yes. The common retail long sleeve runs 150 to 180 GSM. At 250 GSM this one holds its shape, layers under a hoodie without bunching, and stands on its own in fall and spring.Does it fit big?Yes, this is an oversized cut with a drop shoulder. Order your normal size for the look in the photos, size down one for anything closer.How do I keep the wash and the print?Cold water, gentle cycle, inside out, tumble dry low. Heat is what dulls a garment wash and cracks a print. Keep the iron off the artwork.What is the return and exchange policy?Every piece is made to order, so we generally cannot accept returns for a change of mind.
