I like the ruff look...big hole in the logo...and who does not like a hole.

Besides...it's a T-Shirt.......they do not last forever.

I get a lot of t-shirts made and printed each year. Always screen printed. I have never seen that problem with letters peeling off on any of our shirts.

These are either not screened or screened & some colours haven't been cured (heated after printing to seal the colour to the fabric) correctly after printing hence the peeling.

I'd get back onto the printer and ask how they were printed

Don't think they are screened. I think they are thermal transfer with each colour cut separately. I've only wore it 4 or 5 times so thought it would have lasted longer than that.

Worn mine loads and it's all good. I got another printed T-shirt around the same time and that is ****ed, all cracked and coming away on the print.

You sure those aren't some sort of burns grant? :lol:

My T is still in dead stock condition I'm waiting for the right moment to wear mine :lol:

Do you wash them inside-out in cold water? If not, you should . Then dry them inside-out in a relatively low temperature
as you all know the tee is screen printed which means the decor on them is made of a special kind of paint. If the paint rubs against other items of clothing it could rub it off. If you only rub off a little each wash, eventually you're not going to see so much of the pattern. Screen printing is sometimes a little sticky against itself so it doesn't rub as much when inside out. Water and detergent will saturate your shirts and flow through them but not scrub them.

Also, heat melts paint- any paint if heated enough, so if you're drying your t-shirts on high temperature, you're melting and damaging the paint. That could be making it crack or pulling small amounts of paint off each drying causing fading. And the sad fact exists that screen printing, especially if it's relatively thick, cracks with time and stretching and thin screen print fades quickly unless you're really kind. You can always hand wash it warm and dry it on a plastic hanger. Last but not least: Never, never ever iron screen printing.

That's why I prefer Direct to Garment Screen print which the ink is embedded in the t-shirt fibers. (So no cracking and peeling) and the t-shirt quality is very very important! RING SPUN COTTON IS THE BEST!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Reminds me of a Garfield bean bag I had in the early 90's. Bloody faulty bean bag! :lol:
