Print wearing away
about Adultery
I have this shirt and have looked after it extra carefully but I have noticed that the print for the washing instructions on the inside of the collar is starting to wear away. Since this is my only first edition shirt and also my favourite shirt, I'm a little worried that this is going to happen to the actual design! I haven't had this problem with any of my other threadless tees.

Also the thread is coming away at one of the sleeves but I think that is my cat's fault.

Anyone else have these problems?

I don't think it'll be a problem. My Magical Powers tag started peeling right away, but the design hasn't shown any signs of wear and it's been washed a bunch of times since I first started noticing the problem.

Several of my tags are cracking/peeling a bit, but all of the designs are fine.



That being said...



Yay, tesco. =p

The tag's have started peeling on the ones that I've put in the dryer once or twice. I'm thinking this is just normal, and nothing has happened to the actual designs (I'm worried about Star Light, Star Bright, since the print is thin, though)

They've either changed their heat transfer ink/paper or they've gotten lazy and aren't heatpressing it on long enough. :(

Mine are always coming off. :( The prints are all fine though...

I'm pretty sure mine are peeling because I put them on very high heat (they were guys smalls and I really needed them to shrink), and also because our dryer is reeeaaallly old.

margolove on Oct 01 '06 at 11:28am
BUT I only put them on high the first or second time, hah. After that it's air drying.

The Day They Came hasn't been reprinted (to my knowledge) so you'll have at least one other 1st edition if it does come off completely.

i wish that they would just do away with the "tagless" thing. When they stamp the tag onto the back of the neck, the shirts get all stretched out there. Then when you wear em, it looks like you have a big roll of fat on the back of your neck.

They show through the back of the shirt too... :(

the same problem is happening to my alphabet zoo. but the design is fine. ithink the printing method was different for the tag and design.

5115: I ended up giving The Day They Came to my bro, so I don't have that 1st ed any longer =(

Ha! I'm seeing a lot of hate for this design! All you naysayers suck!



Amy, I always wash inside out too. It's good to know my shirt should last a bit longer.

If I'm not mistaken you should be getting another 1st ed. pretty soon...



Fairlie is still boring. But I've done quite a lot of work on my new website. You playing Company of Heroes just now? How is it?
