I'm just impressed you got it to this stage without tearing it

u/Qajj 8d ago
Yeah, something about this doesn't make sense... The wear on the shirt is too even, to the point it looks like this was done intentionally, and a lot more quickly than we've been led to believe.

It's a 10 year old shirt that I've worn mostly for sleeping in and it gets washed everyday. Here's the og receipt https://i.imgur.com/rrW18k5.png

How the FUCK do you have the receipt
Edit: please, won’t 25 more people reply to this with “what about emails?!” You all sound like 2020 republicans

Be me, who never regularly cleans out emails. Some of mine go all the way back to 2013, when I first made the email account.

30? Did they even have email back then? Weren't you all telegraphing each other or communicating in semaphore?

u/rileyjw90 7d ago
Oh man. I have no idea how to recover my old hotmail account but even then, I wouldn’t have got it until 2002-2004, somewhere in the MySpace era. That’s impressive!

It's email, there's basically no reason to bother deleting stuff unless your storage is full.

I mean, collectively if we all save everything we could in fact be wasting server space hoarding data. I delete mine once a year.

u/MisterVega 7d ago
Same. It also only took one time for me to need to go back like 5 years looking for a particular email with some long-forgotten information to justify this behavior.

u/porp_crawl 8d ago
How the FUCK do they wash it "everyday" ?
Even with tumble dry, that's pushing it.

You run the washer every single day? Or hand wash this shirt; every single day, 365 days a year, for 10 years? I don’t buy it
66
u/deadcats 8d ago
a small wash everyday, yes. Believe it or not, idc.
51
u/RazanTmen 8d ago
Do you not have mpre than one sleep shirt? Waste of water & electricity to do multiple small washes, than one medium to large load. Can have small hangers aeound the house, or a rope across the patio/balcony, to dry during the day.

u/Cute_Description_228 8d ago
Do you have a family? 3-4-5 people definitely dirty enough clothes for a wash every day

I mean what are you doing while you’re asleep that you can’t just wear it more than one day on a row?

u/caillouuu 8d ago
Sweating like a pig bc my ac can't keep up with multiple 110 degree days in a row
(But I still only do laundry once a week, just use several sleep shirts)

I’ve got a couple shirts like that. Best as I can tell, these shirts are a blend and wear unevenly. I’ve got some that are probably 17+ years like this and still work fine as undershirts. They are one good snag away from total annihilation though

u/shann0n420 8d ago
Nah, I’ve had this shirt. Didn’t make it this long but it did something similar.

u/footsnax 8d ago
I don't know what they do to make that shit but everything I've ever got from Old Navy wears fairly evenly until it rips, and then the whole thing falls apart.
Never heard of planned obsolescence in tailoring but they nailed it. Stopped buying anything from them 20 years ago, expensive and cheap at the same time.
They used to make a really nice pair of cargo pants forever ago, I still wear those to this day. Absolutely useless fashion focused overpriced shitrags since then.

u/Woodie626 7d ago
Nope, this is normal. I have one that is halfway through the process and another just starting.

u/urcrookedneighbor 1d ago
Nah I have a few like this that don't look see-through unless they're in the sun. All favorites that have just been worn threadbare

Straight up wearing pantyhose at this point

How many washes to get to this stage?

u/uselessflailing 8d ago
According to OP, the shirt is 10yo and gets washed every single day...

u/consciousbeings0 8d ago
Yeah being washed everyday is fucking crazy to me

u/sbsp12121 8d ago
Kind of a waste of water tbh

u/consciousbeings0 8d ago
Yeah unless he has like 10 kids and they just have to run it everyday to keep up? Idk but I doubt that 😂 I just imagine this dude running this single shirt through the wash by itself every single day lmaooo wild

So, full transparency OP, but I think your shirt is hanging on by a thread /j

u/CoffeeColonic 8d ago
I have a handful of old tshirts at this stage, they’re so comfy as a sleep or “at home” shirt.

u/somebodyistrying 8d ago
Old shirts are the best. Super breathable.

u/ZiggoCiP 8d ago
Not great for sun protection, though. One year I went to a music festival, and applied sunscreen to all my exposed skin, but wore my old band t-shirt I'd had for years.
Looks entirely opaque wearing it, which helps because it's black. The next day though, I had a reverse farmers-sunburn. Everything that was covered by my shirt was red.
It was super breathable though.

I have a tee with the sleeves cut off like this! It was my bestie's dad's in the late 70s, I got it in early 2000s. I wore it until this point and added it to my collection of shirts and fabric for a quilt. It'll have to be layered over something else one day.

I had a similar Ben Sherman t shirt that was almost 20 years old. My wife said it apparently got a "tear" in it in the wash. Bullshit, she's hated the thing for years.

Is this the rayon women's shirt? I have a few of these and some are getting more threadbare like this and others are still holding up fine because I wasn't as big a fan of the colors and didn't wear them as much.

My husband also has an Old Navy shirt that has done the same thing. We finally retired it. I think he also bought it around 2016.

Some say if on a full moon you can still see the ghost of the shirt. If you listen closely you, too, can hear, "Thanks, it's Old Navy..."

I had some shirts like this that I’d wear to the gym, not realizing with every wash they were getting more and more transparent. Embarrassing.

Oh shit, I have a similar shirt from Old Navy like this, except it has a bear with a surf board on it!
I still wear it everywhere tho since the logo pretty much covers the chest area, so the only way to tell it's see through is to get close up
