How does it work?
The Best Shirt Ever uses a high tech finishing process, which minimizes the amount of water or sweat the fabric will hold. This allows the garment to repel sweat and water, dry 40% faster than an untreated cotton shirt, and maintain cotton’s natural ability to breathe.

Does it breathe?
While most durable water repellant (DWR) shirts inhibit a shirts ability to breathe, the finishing process we use does not affect the natural ability of cotton fabrics to breathe and keep you cool. This allows the shirt to look AND feel like a designer quality button-down.

Will the Finish wash out over time?
Most DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finishing coatings wash out after only a few rinses in the washing machine. The Best Shirt Ever’s moisture repellent finishing process is 90% as effective after 10 washes, 80% as effective after 20 washes, and 70% as effective after 30 washes. It will stay at roughly 70% efficacy after 30 washes for the rest of the lifetime of the shirt.

How do I wash it?
The shirt is machine washable and should be washed on the dry-tumble low setting. THE SHIRT CANNOT BE DRY CLEANED SO ONLY WASH IT IN THE MACHINE.

Clickbait Clothing?
Naming a product is hard, so we ran online tests to see what our prospective customers liked. “The Best Shirt Ever” outperformed all the other names we came up with by a mile. When we asked ourselves why this was the case, we realized that the name was clickbait!
Instead of shying away from this realization, we decided to have a laugh and lean into it.
Clickbait Clothing - Clickbait that actually delivers!

If It Takes So Long To Mill The Fabric, Why Are You Running A 60 Day Campaign?
The second we hit our funding goal, we will initiate the milling of the fabric for the first 2 colors. We hope to create a stretch goal that will enable us to create additional colors of the shirt once we know we can produce the first 2 colors. We will poll our backers to get their input on which color they would like us to make next if we receive enough support to produce additional colors.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
