Regardless of whether the shirt is a few tens of thousands in the market or a few million in the shop, the end result is still these horrible disgusting holes. As long as they appear, your shirts will no longer have the opportunity to appear on the street.
Who doesn’t have a few “must-have item” t-shirts in their closet, right? However, longtime fans of T-shirts must have witnessed an extremely uncomfortable phenomenon many times.
What phenomenon? To make it short, it’s the picture below.
When this hole appears, your shirts will no longer have a chance to appear on the street.
Right about that! Those are the holes that come from nowhere that everyone has encountered.
The holes are tiny, but being there means your shirt never has a chance to be worn outside. And they also appear regardless of whether your shirt is a few tens of thousands, or a few million pieces in a big brand.
But why do they appear? Those who own cats can easily blame their nail grinding habits. However, the shirt of a person who does not have a cat will still have this hole.
If your shirt is a market of several tens of thousands, or a few million parcels in big firms, these holes may appear.
Then at what? After all, thanks to science, we know the reason, even if it sounds a bit boring. It’s not cockroaches or rat bites, and it’s not because you overdo your laundry. The real reason is much more frustrating.
The answer is friction !
Most of these holes appear in the lower front flap right? The cause may be that your shirt has been rubbing repeatedly against the buttonhole, or the belt hook. In addition, it is also the part we often lean on the table when standing – for example when taking water, making tea, for example.
Those rubbings were very gentle, leaving no trace. But over time, the accumulated friction caused the fabric to burst, forming holes that made everyone frustrated.
This is something that has been attested by many industry experts. Bayard Winthrop (CEO of American Giant fashion brand) recently officially confirmed that the bottom of the shirt is the most damaged place.
“The fabric in this area often has to rub against hard surfaces – like belts, jeans, table edges… Accumulated friction will cause the fibers to deteriorate.”
Also according to Winthrop, the area around the shoulder is also very easy to appear such holes. The reason is still because of friction, because you often wear bags in that area.
The area around the shoulder is also very easy to appear such holes.
According to Winthrop revealed, another important reason why the shirt is prone to holes is also in the quality of the fabric . No matter how expensive the shirt is, it can’t escape those holes, but the time they appear will also be longer.
“Most of the reason is because of the quality of the fabric itself. Many firms want to cut costs as much as possible, leading to less durable fabrics,” said Winthrop.
“Many people often prefer to choose cheap t-shirts, thinking that if they break, just throw them away. But if you keep buying new ones, then obviously it’s not very economical?”
According to Winthrop, the key is not actually in the price, but you need to see how the fabric of the shirt is.
” Longer cotton fabrics are better . Some high-quality cottons have their own names – like Pima and Egyptian.”
In short, you can choose clothes that fit your budget, but you need to pay attention to the quality of the shirt. If just wearing a belt makes the shirt appear holes, it’s really not so good.
