    It really pisses me off when i buy a new Tee and it shrinks after the first wash..is there any way to prevent this?
     
  2. yea i heard if you soak it in honey mix with vinegar overnight, it will make your tees shrink proof

    by fake i was referin to fake shirts and stuff u can get in HK mong kok for example -lol (fake brands or cheaper versions of the named brands)

    you really think im going to do that??

    oh wait, so if I wash it with cold water, it wont shrink as much? maybe I'll buy extra large clothes...knowing it will shrink :D
     
  8. hmm we've grown knowledgeably now have we..?? but really though... heard it actually works from a clothing care forum. plus it's been said that people of early 17th century used the technique...

    Yeah washing clothes in cool water helps. Also if you are not lazy, hang your clothes out to dry instead of throwing them in the dryer. ;) And I second what Dragonloaded said. Sometimes it depends on the brand.
     
  10. but really when it comes to Tees u should alwasys buy one or two sizes bigger. but the damn collars always manage to stretch out

    Are the Tees 100% cotton? Because Cotton shrinks a lot. So if you're planning to buy em a couple sizes bigger make sure it's the same brand or material. Or else they might not shrink and you'll be stuck with the humongous Tees. lols
     
  12. lol just use it as a towel if it dont work out...

    i think its just the brand...some tees shrink and some dont...but one time, i bought these two shirts of the same brand, one shrank and one didnt, it the same washer...
     
  14. either way... just get em xxxxxxl... you'll eventually grow into 'em if they dont shrink... -lol
