FAQ – PRODUCT

1. Why is Scranton called the “Electric City”? Scranton earned this nickname because it was one of the very first cities in the United States to introduce electric streetcars in the late 1800s. This shirt celebrates that innovative history, making it a point of pride for residents who know the story behind the name.

2. Is this shirt only for people who live in Scranton? Not at all. While locals love it, it is also popular with visitors, history buffs, and fans of the regional humor often associated with the city. It is a great way to show appreciation for Northeastern Pennsylvania whether you live there now or are just passing through.

3. How does the cotton fabric hold up after washing? We use the Gildan 5000, which is made from 100% preshrunk cotton. This means the fabric is designed to resist significant shrinking. To keep the shirt looking its best and to preserve the print, we recommend washing it in cold water and tumble drying on low.

4. Is the fit true to size? Yes, this shirt features a standard unisex fit. It is true to size for men, offering a relaxed and comfortable feel. For women who prefer a more fitted look, we generally suggest sizing down one size, or sticking to your usual size for a loose, boyfriend-style fit.
