Product Care

To keep all the unique features of CityZen® clothing, please follow the care instructions:

 • Wash at 30°C and inside out. Wash with similar colors.

• Iron inside out. This activates the technology and extends the life of the effects.

• Use gentle detergents.

• Do not use fabric softener.

• Do not tumble dry

 

Natural Material

The t-shirt is made of 100% premium long-staple cotton, knit fabric, which makes it breathable and pleasant to the touch. Many customers ask us if the T-shirt has a membrane and they won't feel "like a raincoat". There is no membrane and the t-shirt breathes like any other cotton t-shirt. On the contrary, thanks to our special CityZen® technology, it is much more pleasant on the body compared to a regular t-shirt.

 

Production process

We import the cotton (it's a shame it doesn't grow in the Czech Republic) from USA, Greek and Egypt and we make the entire t-shirt in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. From knitting, dyeing, special treatments, cutting to sewing and packaging.

 

The story of the shirt

The quality of CityZenⓇ clothing comes from the experience and precision with which we approach its development and production. We have the whole process firmly under control. Everything, from the very first thread, is made right here in the Czech Republic.

We're happy to let you take a look behind the scenes and show you the journey a tuft of cotton must take to become a no-sweat mark CityZen t-shirt. 

  

 

Cotton & yarn

Cotton quality is the alpha and omega of later success, so we take great care in its selection. We use premium cotton from Greece, the USA and Egypt. It arrives to us as coarse cotton yarn. So do you now believe that we really do make clothes from the very first thread?

Knitting and dyeing

Knitting is a very demanding process that needs careful quality control as defects cannot be unmade. The resulting coarse knitted fabric does not yet resemble the material of our t-shirts, neither in shade nor to the touch. That's why it gets dyed and undergoes further alterations as well. We keep nature in mind and use the most environmentally friendly dyeing technology available in the textile world today.

CityZen alterations

At the end of the wet treatment, the knitted fabric gains entirely unique properties, which we call the CityZenⓇ technology. Thanks to these properties the t-shirt does not show sweat, repels dirt and grime, is comfortable to wear and reduces odour compared to conventional t-shirts.

Cutting and sewing

After drying, hundreds of metres of material are gathered onto rolls and transferred for cutting. This is done by CNC machines, so-called cutters, under the watchful eye of professional operators. The cut knitted fabric is then received by the skilled hands of experienced seamstresses who sew the t-shirt. This is followed by a thorough output control of the inside and outside of the t-shirt. After packaging, the t-shirts travel to our warehouse. And then to you.
