Product Insights
The First Row Rhinestone Eagle Distressed T-Shirt (89 CAD) delivers an intentionally distressed look from a raw hem and neckline that fray and soften with washes, developing a unique vintage patina. Its 100% cotton jersey is soft and breathable from the first wear, but the oversized cropped fit risks shrinkage unless washed cold and air-dried, requiring careful maintenance to preserve the intended silhouette.

- Sizing
For an oversized fit, size L suits 5'9; shrinkage risk means size up if between sizes.
Why this is supported

- Washing and drying
Hand wash cold, turn inside out, use mesh bag, air dry.
Why this is supported
The brand’s specific care instruction,
Hand Wash Cold
shopakira.com, is supported by rhinestone care best practices:
Cold water (Heat is the enemy of rhinestone glue)
toohoocustom.com. Turning the shirt inside out provides a protective shield:
By turning the clothing inside out, the fabric acts as a protective barrier, preventing the crystals from rubbing against other clothes or the basin/drum.
toohoocustom.com. If a machine wash is needed, a mesh bag is advised:
For machine washing, turn items inside out, use a gentle cold cycle, and place them in a garment bag. Always air dry.
sparklesrhinestones.com. And drying must be air-only:
Avoid using a dryer altogether, as the heat can cause rhinestones to loosen or melt if they’re made from certain materials.
thechictribe.com. This combination of steps minimizes rhinestone loss and fabric distortion.
- Initial feel
Raw edge feels soft and broken-in from the first wear.
Why this is supported
The raw edge collar provides an immediately broken-in feel:
making the tee feel already broken-in around the neck and hem the instant it's pulled on.
