Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Fifth Strain different?
We create premium, oversized garments made from some of the heaviest 100% cotton fabrics available. Every piece is designed to feel substantial, wear hard, and age beautifully. No blends. No compromises.
Is Fifth Strain unisex?
Yes — all of our garments are 100% unisex by design. We focus on shape, structure, and feel, not gender. The oversized fit works across all body types.
What materials do you use?
We use only pure, heavyweight 100% cotton, chosen for its durability, texture, and weight. It holds structure, softens over time, and keeps its shape with wear.
Are your garments pre-shrunk?
Yes — everything is pre-shrunk and garment-dyed, so the fit you receive is the fit that stays. Minimal shrinkage. Maximum consistency.
How does sizing run?
All pieces are intentionally oversized. Stick to your regular size for the designed look. Size down if you want a more fitted silhouette — but oversized is the point.
How should I care for Fifth Strain clothing?
To protect weight, color, and longevity:
- Wash cold
- Hang dry or tumble on low
- Avoid bleach or harsh detergents
These pieces are made to live in — and made to last.
