The image on the Sanryobuki shirt that I have owned for less than a month is already dissolving into an unreadable slurry. And the Achewood Varsity shirt is not doing too well either. These are shirts that get worn for a day and then washed every 8-10 days.
The Todd shirt I bought months and months ago is showing its age, but not as much as the newer pair, and the degradation was much slower.
You know, it's moments like these that I really appreciate having joined this forum. Because there have been about
three separate incidents in which I have been
this close to biting Ye Olde Bullette and getting myself that sharp "Prime Time Records" shirt, or the Cookbook, or whatever - and then Out Comes another Merchandise Horror Story. The comments are all the more resonant, not to mention disappointing, seeing as they pretty much come exclusively from such devoted fans.
I've got half a mind to just get some of that inkjet transfer paper and make my own design - but it'd be a pretty sad state of affairs if a DIY lasted longer than a store-bought.
