The greatness of shirt.woot!

[NiX]

Bought this shirt from Woot! Got it a few days ago and found out the shirt was more peach coloured when I was expecting something more sand coloured.

Mens Small. Hasn't been worn and even freshly washed. Shippings on me!

Edit: Shirt given away. Edited topic for shirt discussion.

[Phire]

But you look so cute in it 

[JWIV]

So question about woot shirts - has anyone else had a problem where after 2-3 months they all start developing small holes?

[Merusk]

I've had that problem with all cheap t-shirts from internet-purchased to Old Navy.  They're cheap because the material is thinner than the plot of most Kid's cartoons.  That means they're going to wear through p.d.q.

[Paelos]

I wonder how many gamers can fit into a men's small? I sure as hell can't wear anything smaller than a medium.

[Vaiti]

If I wasn't pretty sure the cost of international shipping would be the same as the cost of the shirt in the first place, I'd ask for it. My wife would love it and constantly steals my shirts. It would also make a bar going shirt in these parts. Jokainen on vähän homo.

Where do you live? I can price it out on the Canada Post website. From what I recall last time I sent something international in an envelope, the cost never exceeded $8.

lolz send it to Merlin. lol.

If Vaiti doesn't take it, I will.  I love that design.

I don't think I have been able to wear a Men's Small since I was in 4th grade.

From the last line I'm guessing Finland.

Not here.  In fact, woot shirts have probably been the best cheap-shirts-from-the-Internet I've tried in terms of durability.  Jinx ones aren't bad with Threadless bringing up the rear.

I can't really give a good opinion on them because I have about 15 or so, they never get worn or washed too much. If you're finding they're getting holes, you might want to consider a t-shirt only wash on delicate with cold water.

Want to get this shirt out by today because I'm packing over the weekend for my move, so I'll be sending it off to our resident Red Panda.

Guess I'll edit the title so people can discuss shirt.woot in all its glory.

I always hang dry my tshirts.

This prevents shrink and seems to keep them nicer longer.

Hang dry is definitely the way to go.   I'm thinking for at least the woot shirts, I'll have to start washing them by themselves completely.  A bit annoying since they're the first shirts I've had that seem to have this problem, but then again, they're also the first graphic tees I've worn since high school, so YMMV.

Hang dry T shirts? What are you people doing in these shirts exactly?

[Samwise]

I've got a few t-shirts in my wardrobe that have lasted me over a decade so far.  They get washed with my jeans and thrown in the dryer.  They're t-shirts. 

[Selby]

I have t-shirts from 1996-1997 timeframe that have been worn regularly throughout that time.  No holes and still in decent shape.  I don't wear XXL anymore, so they look funny on me though.

[Merusk]

I've got 4 T-Shirts from High School that are still fine.  Two of them are concert T's and the other two are swimming-related.  They've all been washed on "normal" speed and tossed in a dryer on "normal" heat for the last 20 years. (Well, except the Megadeth T.. that one shrunk and hasn't fit me since 1996)

Their material on each is much thicker than any of the newer shirts or the internet shirt I'd received, however, leading to my previous comments about shirts being too thin and wearing-through.

Yeah I guess I'm confused. I have some college ones I use to knock around on the weekends or when I go to the lake or something. I have others I use to work out.

Are people going out in these T-Shirts? This may be one of those things we don't have in the South.

[NiX]

I wear t-shirts about 5 out of 7 days of the week. Of course I'm afforded that kind of luxury at work and my co-workers/boss enjoy catching me on a day where I wear I new one.

You're an accountant from the South so word hasn't reached you yet.  Professional dress is dead, what you call "weekend dress-down" is now "Business Casual" and the uniform of white collar workers everywhere else.   Sort wardrobes out from that benchmark and you'll discover that T-shirts are indeed clubbing or "dress down day at work" attire.   

[MahrinSkel]

The last time I worked for a company with a dress code, it was 1997.  The dress code was "shirts must have collars and full-length buttons in front."  I got bitched out for wearing something like these:



A collar-less dress shirt, which I had a lot of from an earlier job where they gave me an excuse not to wear a tie around machinery full of high-speed belts (automated check sorters).  So from then on I wore hawaiians and club shirts.

[bhodi]

Friends don't let friends wear hawaiian shirts. :/

Hell, I'm not wearing a suit to work. I wear a polo shirt, khakis, and nice shoes. Clubbing in a T-shirt, though? I don't even tailgate at football games in a T-Shirt, let alone wear one at work.

[Strazos]

Only if it's a super fancy trendy kid t-shirt. I still generally wear a real shirt if I go out anywhere.

But at least now I don't have to wear a suit everyday to work, for the next 6 months or so.

His point still stands. The t-shirt has become a very viable piece of clothing when going out.

[Merusk]

When motherfucking thongs are acceptable footwear, it's easy to understand T-shirts as the new Polo shirt.

Give it another 10 years and Track Suits and wife beaters will be all the rage.  Those guys from Jersey are just ahead of the curve.

Ugh. 

Also, they're from Long Island.

[Merusk]

I meant the actual Jersey folks, the ones those characters are supposedly based off of and you've seen lampooned for years.  I don't get Mtv so I can happy say I've never seen a minute of that shit.

[Paelos]

And my point still stands, I've only seen that done in Midtown. You do that down here, you better be gay or be highly prepared to get hit on by other men.

[NiX]

Sheesh, talk about living in the past.

[Jimbo]

My son is a freshman in high school, they wear wife beaters as a style sometimes, but they go from dressed up with a tie and long sleeve shirt and slacks down to the wife beater with Chuck's and jeans.

I wear dark (navy, black, gray) t-shirts under my scrub tops, they are Starter brand and have lasted about 4 years of heavy duty wash and machine dry on high (I take them out and fold so they don't wrinkle), the newer t-shirts seem to suck, being a lot thinner.  I've been wanting to buy some from Duluth Trading Co , my friend bought some really nice button down shirts from them and they have held up great.  They are more expensive, buy you get what you pay for.

[Paelos]

Fashion is what it is. Regional. I don't really think it has anything to do with time. I don't think you'll ever see a Southern populace wandering around out in designer tees.

I was referring to the implication that wearing a t-shirt makes you gay.
