Frequently asked questions
Fit, fabric, timing, and what happens if something goes wrong. Still stuck? Write the shop.
How do the shirts fit?
Every shirt is a Bella+Canvas 3001, a unisex tee with a retail fit — closer to the body than a boxy heavyweight. If you’re between sizes, or you want a roomier, lived-in feel, size up one. A medium measures 20 inches across the chest and 29 inches long, laid flat.
Which size should I order?
Lay a T-shirt you already like flat and measure straight across the chest, one inch below the armholes. Pick the size whose width matches it. The size chart also lists the body chest range each size is cut for, from XS (31–34 inches) to 4XL (58–61 inches).
What are the shirts made of?
A soft, lightweight 4.2 oz jersey with a little stretch. Solid colors (Natural, Navy, Black) are 100% combed and ring-spun cotton. Heather Forest is a heather blend of 52% cotton and 48% polyester. The fabric is pre-shrunk, with side seams, shoulder-to-shoulder taping, and a tear-away label.
Are the light colors see-through?
Natural is slightly sheer, especially in bright light — it’s a lightweight shirt. If that matters to you, Navy, Black, or Heather Forest are the opaque picks.
How long until my shirt arrives?
Each shirt is printed to order after you buy it. Printing takes 2–5 business days, then US standard shipping takes about 3–6 business days. You’ll get tracking from the printer once it ships.
How much is shipping, and where do you ship?
US shipping is $5.99 for the first shirt and $2.25 for each additional shirt in the same order, so two shirts ship for $8.24. It’s charged at checkout, and the shop ships to US addresses only for now.
Can I return or exchange a shirt?
Because every shirt is made to order, they can’t be returned or exchanged for a change of mind or a fit that wasn’t what you hoped. Please check the size chart before you order. If the shop or the printer got something wrong, that’s different — see the next question.
What if my shirt arrives damaged, misprinted, or wrong?
Write the shop through the contact page with your order details and, ideally, a photo. A damaged or misprinted shirt, or the wrong color or size, reported within 30 days of delivery gets reprinted or refunded for what you paid.
How do I wash it so the print lasts?
Machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle with similar colors and a mild detergent. Skip fabric softener and dry cleaning, and only use non-chlorine bleach if you really need it. Hang dry or tumble dry low. If you iron, use a cool iron inside out and never iron directly on the print.
My new shirt smells a little like vinegar. Is that normal?
Yes. Direct-to-garment printing uses a pretreatment that can leave a faint vinegar-like smell or a light residue on a brand-new shirt. It goes away in the first wash.
Are these official race shirts?
No. Every design is original. Rim Light Run isn’t affiliated with any race, course, or brand, and the shirts don’t use race logos, wordmarks, or course maps.
