what is an AA shirt

american aparrel^

uh hello? no one has had this hapen?

noup... you should contact them with photos. maybe they'll send you another one or refund you, if you have the patience

this happens to me all the time.

it's sort of dull now isnt it?

yeah exactly... I don't see this happen to t-shirts though.. so I was pretty surprised. It's weird how the cotton has fuzzed over the ink when it was so smooth and dark new.

wash them inside out. it helps keep that from happening

thats part of the reason they're switching to their own kind of tees

I never tumble dry girly shirts, as I'm afraid they'll shrink, but I think you are supposed to be able to dry them on cool.

why do people persist to tumble dry tshirts??

stick them on the clothes line!!

cuz uh.... I stick everything in the washer? I mean I've never had this happen before...

yes, a few i put through the dryed now have fuzz coming through the darker ink. *sigh*

well Ive never had this happen to me yet, but I have had my shirts shrink...my XL went down to about L size

You shouldn't have to not dry your t-shirt in the dryer.. that's just ridiculous!

I don't dry mine either...

Dryers kill clothes. And yeah, do it inside out. Mine was fine. Cool wash, as instructed.

Yeah well too late now.. but in the future I'll try washing them inside out... strange how I should have to do this when I don't for other shirts. But not using the dryer... not an option ^^;;

you need to hang dry these shirts. Never put them in the dryer and wash them in cold water

yeah, but for those of us in northern climes, hang drying isn't an option. Hello Michigan.

Can't you read? The inside of the shirt clearly says, DON'T WASH - BUY NEW. Marketing genius, I say.

man, mezo - you're snarly today

well.. my main point, and question that still hasn't been answered... does this happen more for AA shirts than FOTL? I will refrain from buying girly shirts if this keeps happening... or is happy creatures just worse off cuz of the ink and the material?

Even hanging the shirt on a radiator or a heater thats on the low setting is much better than placing it in a dryer.

you should always wash them inside out. All of mine look as good as the day I got them.

so... no one knows the answer to my question?

Yeah my monster wash shirt did that too. It's just something with the black ink on really light (white or cream) colored shirts. It did bother me at first but then I realized no one got close enough to notice ;)

^ oh yeah I just read your blog right now. I'm sad. My shirt looks old and it's bad since it's like that ALL over the print. :(

I hope this doesn't happen again.

I always wash all my threadless shirts inside out in cold water on the gentle cycle. And I always hang them to dry since I don't want any shrinking. I did however put monster wash in the dryer as it was a size too big for me.



But I can say that the weird pilling didn't get any worse the more I washed it. Although the washing machine gremlins did eventually "get" my shirt since in it went and it just never reappeared.

LOL you lost a shirt in the machine? I've lost socks.. but an entire shirt.. wow.
