MAXELTI Active Embroidered Tee

Description

The embroidered t-shirt that does not crack in the wash. Soft ring-spun cotton with the MAXELTI Active mark stitched on the left chest in white and orange thread, on the Bella + Canvas 3001 body most people already own without knowing the name. Sizes XS to 5XL, with free shipping within the US.

Stitched, not printed, and that is the whole point

A printed tee looks perfect the day it arrives and starts breaking up around the tenth wash: the film cracks, the edges lift, the colour goes chalky. Thread does not do that. The mark on this shirt is sewn into the fabric, so it survives the machine, the dryer and three summers of wear looking the same as it did the first week. That is why this tee is embroidered, not printed.

Embroidered t-shirt features

• 100% ring-spun cotton. Softer and smoother than standard cotton because the fibres are spun before knitting.
• Left chest embroidery. White and orange thread, stitched rather than printed.
• Side-seamed. Holds a straight line down the body instead of twisting after a few washes.
• Unisex fit. A straight cut that sits on the shoulder rather than hanging off it.
• Tear-away label. No scratchy tag at the back of the neck.
• XS to 5XL. A real size run, not S to XL with a gap after it.
• Three colours. Black, Asphalt and Army.
• Free US shipping. Free shipping within the US.

Specifications

Choosing your size and colour

The embroidered t-shirt runs true to size with a straight body, so take your usual size for a normal fit and go one up if you like room over a base layer. Between the colours, Army is the field choice and the one the white and orange thread reads best against. Asphalt is a mid grey that works anywhere and hides dust better than black. Black is the one you can wear under a flannel or a jacket all autumn and never think about. Check the size guide on this page before ordering: size exchanges aren’t available on MAXELTI Active apparel.

Where it fits

Under a flannel in October, on its own in July, in the truck as the spare shirt that never gets worn until the day it saves you. It is light enough for a summer morning and right as a base layer when the temperature drops. Layer it with the rest of our hoodies and jackets, or see the whole line in apparel.

Care and maintenance

Machine wash the embroidered t-shirt cold, inside out, and tumble dry on low. Washing it inside out is what protects the stitching from rubbing against zips and buttons in the drum. Skip the fabric softener, which coats cotton fibres and dulls both the shirt and the thread over time, and do not iron directly over the embroidery: press around it, or put a cloth between the iron and the mark.

Made for the days outside

Wherever this shirt ends up, the seven Leave No Trace principles from the National Park Service are the short version of leaving a camp the way you found it. The rest of the range is in the MAXELTI Active shop.

Frequently asked questions

Is the logo embroidered or printed?
Embroidered, in white and orange thread on the left chest. It will not crack, peel or fade the way a printed graphic does.

Does the embroidered t-shirt run true to size?
Yes. The Bella + Canvas 3001 is a straight unisex cut that runs true. Take your usual size, or one up if you want room over a base layer.

Can I exchange it if the size is wrong?
No. Size exchanges aren’t available on MAXELTI Active apparel, so please use the size guide before you order. If it arrives damaged or defective, we replace it or refund it (see below).

Can I tumble dry it?
Yes. Tumble dry the embroidered t-shirt on low, inside out. High heat is what shrinks cotton and puckers embroidery.
