Easy Way to Make Your Tees Look and Feel Vintage

Amen!

Bashing? Every person? This is the only blog post about it. Little bit of an exaggeration there. But yes, we did get chippy with one gentleman on Men’s Health who falsely accused us of leveraging green for profits, when we weren’t profiting.

Did you try it and it didn’t work? If we can prevent one person from wasting time and money going through this process, we’re happy.

Can we agree the whole process is a little silly given vintage t-shirt are easy to acquire? And even more silly given none of these new-to-vintage formulas even work.

“Tried to put down” and “bashing” paint a completely false picture. Our banter is respectful we don’t resort to insults as you’re eluding to. And yes, we did go on a big campaign to make people aware of alternatives given these methods don’t work. Even if you’re cool with wasting water, money, time and energy (which some suggest using your drier) the end result doesn’t deliver what it promises.

Also, take a look at the comments of numerous people who tried it unsuccessfully – they were part of our motivation behind the campaign. Many of them were quite mad about it…and not respectful.

If the shirt is rough, it’s probably a low quality cotton and you wont be able to fast track softness. It may actually never come. Some vintage 100% cotton tees are still stiff after decades of washing. But no, you wouldn’t throw it away, you would recycle it.

Dearest Sammy – what we did was used several versions of actual instructions that are floating around out there (there’s life outside Pinterest believe it or not!) and complied them into one convenient recipe. We did this to drive a point home: it’s a waste, especially given it doesn’t work. If you read the comments on each recipes page, they’re ripe with people complaining that it didn’t deliver.

If you tell me it worked for you – you’re either embarrassed about trying it (and YOU should lying) or one of the people behind these silly campaigns.
