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?

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?

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
