Care and Maintenance
To ensure your Team Associated/Reedy 80s T-Shirt maintains its vibrant pink colour and graphic quality for years to come, we recommend washing in cold water with similar colours, turning the shirt inside out before washing to protect the graphic print. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, and dry flat or on a gentle tumble setting rather than line drying in direct sunlight, which can fade the retro design over time. With proper care, this limited edition piece will remain a cherished part of your RC collection and a proud display of your enthusiasm for classic RC heritage.

- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
