Question: how do you know when to retire a tee?
For me, I would only retire a tee if it was seriously holy, like gaping tent size holes . Some staining and fades are fine by me. In fact, I like an old shirt with serious fading. Gives it that extra moshed in look. For instance.
This Turning Point long sleeve isn’t ready for the pasture yet. I mean, c’mon, it’s got a ton of life left. No holes, no wacky gross stains. It looks GREAT. Sure, the ink is faded but that gives it a certain “og” look and feel.
Now, I’m sure my wife would disagree. Sometimes I’ll rock this dope Insted tee that has a smaller-than-a-dime sized hole in the front. My wife would LOVE it if I retired it, but hell, it’s so crucial and still looks great. She’s obviously wrong.
So your thoughts? When is it time to retire that tee?
I will wear a shirt until the holes are about 2 inches long. Once a shirt gets some holes in it, just wear another shirt under it. That Turning Point shirt is still in decent shape. Sure, I wouldn’t wear it out on a Friday night date with my wife, but I would wear it at all other times.
i love a worn in shirt. what kills a shirt for me is the fraying collar! shit is the worst
