Wash them inside out as well
Lucky that’s just how my clothes end up when I take them off but 7 years was a long time I guess for a shirt to last
As with many other things in life, I’m starting to think that they don’t make em like they used to. I have a AC/DC t-shirt from 1990, that I bought second-hand around 20 years ago. Been washing it inside out, on 40 degrees, with all my other clothes, and only about 5 years ago, did it stand to lose parts of the print.
I have stopped wearing my favorite band shirts for this reason and now hang them as wall decor
I still wear all the faded, tattered band shirts that I bought 25 years ago as often as the ones I bought at shows this year. The wear’s part of the beauty.
repaint ╮(︶▽︶)╭
Wash graphic tees inside out, yall
Planned obsolescence taking away the tiniest joys in my life ^^
It’s not planned obsolescence when your clothes don’t last 25y in pristine condition, it’s life
i feel that
I always buy extra merch for this reason. Best way to support the band anyway.
All of our band shirts get hung to dry like the most delicate formals in my house. Cold wash and no drier has kept our most sentimental T-shirts in good shape for years
i like the design wearing down. but the death knell is the tears that eventually happen after decades of wear
Nah, they just go from winter t-shirts to sleeveless summer T-shirts to very sparsely connected summer tanks.
I honestly love them more the more they fade and the less fabric there’s left.
This doesn’t look like loss
