I have had my retro tee for about a month and the material seems to be of poor quality. The Tee has shrunk a lot. Has not been put in the dryer. On the lable it says DO NOT IRON, which I have done so maybe this is the reason. Point is how can you not iron a shirt with this material because it looks terrible if you don't?

Has anyone had the same problem or has everyone been walking around with a ragged creased shirt?

Had mine for about 6 months and it is fine. Why would you iron a t-shirt?

haha what a thread.

I like the look of those tees but i think you've put me off. I'm sure you'd be able to iron it at a low heat. If it looks bad creased anyway what have you got to lose.

If it says not to iron, and you ironed it, you have nothing to complain about.

While I haven't seen the tee, I assume the graphics are applied as an attached print, which is tightly applied to the fabric using heat. If you heat up the tee either by putting it in the dryer or ironing it, you will cause the fibres in the fabric to react with the printed graphic and this will create tension that will cause the fabric to shrink.

Care labels, believe it or not, are required by law to provide correct information. The tee would have been tested before the label was applied, so you probably should follow the instructions next time.

Hope you enjoyed your textile lesson kids! :)

You are a bloke, yes? What are you doing using an iron anyway?

Agree with Rojik.

It's God's way of telling you that real men don't iron!

Agreed, no ironing, unless its work or wedding/special function related. Next we will be complaining how our newly ironed underpants have shrunk.

On a more serious note, thats crap if they have been made from poor quality. I was keen to get the Melb FC Tank top, it looked like really good gym wear but they were sold out before the season started and they gave no indication they were getting any more in, which was a pity.

Go ahead and believe that.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
