T-shirts
T-shirt
T-shirts are the staple fashion-diet for many people. They’re not only a simple, practical piece of clothing, they’re also a blank canvas to display a whole host of designs; be it your favourite band, footy team or just a famous brand (though that can work against you – a juror wearing a French Connection T-shirt was recently asked to step down when the judge noticed his T-shirt displayed a “mis-spelt Anglo-Saxon word”!)

A lot of people think cheap T-shirts don’t hold their shape when washed. But is this true?

You might like to …

  • Wash a number of cheap T-shirts and check to see if they keep their shape better than more expensive ones
  • Test to see if any pictures or logos or emblems wear away or fade when washed
  • Compare how much the colour fades on different T-shirts.
