Shirt quality

Post by corby diamond »

I have probably mentioned this in the past but now I have to mention this again.. I need some advice...

I returned my white shirt to the shop 2 weeks ago as after two washes the letters starting peeling.. I have now washed and wore my yellow top 3 times, I wouldn’t tumble my tops and as I’ve went to hang it up today there is no a and u and the logo, t and w is peeling..

I wash it in a full load of washing and only on a normal 40 wash, what am I doing wrong?

Is anyone else having issues?

My home shirts auto windscreens is coming off a bit too.

Keep the washes cool is the best bet.

Sometimes you get a batch that doesn't quite catch however, usually humidity, pressure or temperature of the press when they're being stamped on is the reason.

If you lay it back in place, put a sheet of greaseproof paper over it and press an iron over it for a few seconds - it's usually enough to melt the sponsor logo back on.

Start with the iron fairly cool though - too hot and you can mess the shirt up.
