\"What<\/a>
What not to do.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

T-shirts are a great way to not be naked, but they can also develop wear and tear faster than other types of attire. Like chainmail. Chainmail is very durable attire. Here are 5 great tips to keeping your t-shirts alive longer than ever!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wash cold.
    \nSetting your washing machine to tap cold\u00a0prevents colors from bleeding all over the place onto other shirts like an infectious disease. However (and speaking of infectious diseases) cold washes do allow bacteria to spread in your washing machine. We recommend washing underwear and kitchen cloths\u00a0in a separate batch using hot water.<\/li>\n
  2. Dry cold.
    \nDrying cold, as in air drying on a line or drying rack, is great for increasing the longevity of\u00a0not just t-shirts but most clothes. Avoid drying clothes in direct sunlight though, as that can fade colors over time. If you’ve ever lived in a 300 sq. ft. apartment in Manhattan, you’ve probably seen one of     these<\/a>. They’re great.\u00a0If you live\u00a0in a basement\u00a0or in England and are deprived of natural light, at least set your dryer to a lower temperature than the “Hell” setting found on most industrial\u00a0tumble dryers at laundromats. It may take longer, but your clothes will thank you!<\/li>\n
  3. Zip up.
    \nThe average washing machine spins clothes at 120 mph. I made that up, but it is still a very harsh process. Zippers, metal buttons, quarters, etc, can damage your favorite shirts. Most people know to\u00a0flip jeans inside out, but fewer people take the time zip up.<\/p>\n

    A little late, but here is some chainmail for you.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n
  4. Flip out.
    \nWe don’t mean you should throw a fit after finding your roommate using\u00a0your favorite t-shirt to dry between his toes. We mean you should flip your t-shirts inside out, especially ones with printed designs, before throwing them in the washer. Those zippers and metal buttons we mentioned can slowly scratch away at the ink on your t-shirts.<\/li>\n
  5. Buy better t-shirts!
    \nLower quality, cheaper clothing will simply not last as long as higher quality clothes. That’s why we offer a wide range of brands and levels of quality, ranging\u00a0from economical options to use as promotional giveaways to premium t-shirts that make great gifts.
