Sucks to hear. Keep your head up, I'm sure it'll all be fine.

After reading through the boot threads, I now fucking hate the words Barrie Last and Trubalance Last.

Nothing like washing your $115 Strike Gold T shirt for the first time and finding this…

[Sugar Mountain]

Do you use laundry nets/bags for inside your washer?

[elclintor]

I don't. should I look into that?

This hasn't happened with any of my other T's..

[Chris]

That does suck.  Is it in the front?  I did that to a couple of shirts, and it took me a while to figure out that the shirt was getting crushed between my belt buckle and counters at work.  Switching buckles made the problem go away.

Oh and if you're thinking of trying to fix it, Jimmy did step by step photos of how to sew up holes on tee shirts.  It's around here somewhere.  I'll try to find it…

I use mesh bags for my laundry just as an added measure against them snagging in the machine. Another great idea from my wife 

[elclintor]

Thanks Chris! It is on the front, and right where my buckle sits. I've only worn the shirt once though.. Oh well.

el, what are your thoughts on the Strike Gold tee (beside the hole of course)?

weight, construction & fit are my main concerns.  thanks

[Chris]

Yeah, that's a real kick in the nuts.

Found that tee shirt repair post by Jimmy I was remembering.  Unfortunately, the pics are gone now.  May still be helpful, though.

Its about the same weight as IH Loopwheeled tees. Construction is flawless. And the fit would be impossible for you.

I wear an XL in the strike gold tees, and a Medium in the IH tees.

Thanks Chris!

I'm not brave enough to try this without photos showing me what to do, so I'm just gonna live with it.

[Giles]

PM Jimmy, he may have the photos on his PC…

[elclintor]

Good Idea.

Thanks G.

I hate missing out on eBay listings…mostly cuz those fuckers use automatic bid programs

[grandmasterben]

El, that shits ridiculous. I love nice (and stupidly expensive) stuff as much as all you guys on the forum, but sometimes I shake my head at how delicate this stuff is compared to my many 3 dollar t shirts. Anyway, hope you get it fixed up.

Supreme used to make bulletproof tees, I have a couple that are coming up to 6 years old. I haven't owned my IH tees as long, but no faults to report with them either.

[Giles]

"Used to" being the operative words.  I have 2 recent ones and they fell apart in double quick time…...

[MikeC]

Loopwheeled shit doesn't really lose shape. It's fucking fact….

[Megatron1505]

In general I think the quality from Supreme has gone down the pan in recent years anyway. It's about Uniqlo level quality for 4 x the price.
