Cryptid Research Tee

Not Your Average Tee

 Urban Cryptids vs Generic Tees

Urban Cryptids shirts are made for believers. Believers in legends, in the unexplained, and in high-quality tees that don’t fall apart after a few washes.

We use premium **Bella + Canvas 3001** shirts — made in the USA from ultra-soft airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. Designed for comfort, durability, and a flattering unisex fit. Lightweight but not flimsy. Soft but structured. The kind of shirt you reach for again and again.

The Fabric  
- 100% airlume combed & ring-spun cotton (no scratchy blends)  
- Smooth surface that brings each design to life  
- Lightweight and breathable — easy to layer, perfect solo  

The Fit  
True-to-size retail fit, pre-shrunk, and side-seamed for structure.  
Unisex sizing that actually works for everybody.

> If you like a relaxed fit, size up. Want a sharper fit? Stick with your usual.

The Print  
We use **DTG (direct-to-garment)** printing with water-based, eco-friendly inks. That means:  
- No cracking or peeling  
- Vibrant colors that stay vibrant  
- Designs that feel soft to the touch — not like a plastic sticker  

 Built for Repeat Sightings  
- Pre-shrunk for minimal shrinkage  
- Reinforced seams for shape retention  
- Colorfast even after multiple washes  
- Printed, packaged & shipped in the USA  
- Ethically made & 100% sweatshop-free
