Which size should I choose for the North Fork Composites T-shirt?

The T-shirt has a regular fit, neither slim nor oversized, so take your usual T-shirt size. Sizes run from S to 4XL. If you prefer a looser feel, for example over a technical base layer, you can go one size up. Keep in mind that a 100% cotton T-shirt can shrink slightly after the first few washes.

How should I care for the NFC T-shirt with the Gary Loomis signature?

The T-shirt is machine washable at 30 °C and can be ironed. Washing it inside out reduces friction on the logo and helps the black keep its depth. Avoid very hot cycles, which speed up fading on dark cotton. Air drying out of direct sunlight remains the gentlest option for the fabric.

What is the link between Gary Loomis and North Fork Composites?

Gary Loomis is a historic figure in carbon blanks, and his name has been tied to rod design for decades. He founded North Fork Composites in Woodland, Washington, to produce blanks for rod builders. The signature on this T-shirt recalls that direct link between the founder and the brand. It is a nod that rod builders who work on NFC blanks tend to appreciate.
