@neil_kman @Graham has one. How've you washed yours?
-
I have not been too precious with this as the fabric is designed to take a beating.
It's been on washes from anything ranging from 40-60c with high spin.
I do, however, make sure to wash it inside out and turn it right way round as soon as it's out of the machine and flatten out any creases before drying just to try and eliminate any extra marbleing.

@Graham why so hot mate, were you trying to shrink it. Any thoughts on detergent
-
There is a couple a few pages back:
@neil_kman Several factors including not needing to worry about shrinkage (unlike a UHF etc that I may have sized a bit closer)
I would have washed at 60c if it was super dirty, just something that I'm used to or would have combined it with another load as try not to do too many separate loads if I can avoid it.
And whatever power or detergent is on offer in Tesco
Percil, Own Brand etc. -

@neil_kman aw man. I think the only solution in that case is to embrace it. Do that again about 10 times, making sure the creases aren't in the same spot repeatedly and you got yourself some killer marbles.
-
I've found my SBGs to be very touchy with the marbling. To the point now where I only handwash my black/blacks.

Cheers gents

Looks awesome!

Damn, one of the keys to minimize the funky lines and marbling (IME) is to soak it prior to washing + inside out, drip dry (fluff dry as needed). I've only done once but so far so good, and this will be the season of heavy wear. This fabric is insanely unique and rigid which apparently makes it vulnerable to crazy swirls, lines, and marble. My goal is to hopefully just get honest wear and tear. Embrace to mishaps, there's really nothing quite like this CPO.

@neil_kman that didn't go bad at all bro! Back in the days when they had awesome fades in work shirts they didn't care about turning inside out and all the other mumbo jumbo. Wash it however you want to and embrace the badassness of how that shirt is looking! No fades are the same and don't worry about manufacturering how fades are supposed to look. Keep wearing it hard bro!

I gotta say really feeling the support gentlemen thanks, I’ll wear the shirt lots as the weather cools, wash it plenty and see where I end up. Cheers
