Sometimes I'm afraid to buy a medium because I'm afraid it will shrink and I'm afraid to buy a large because sometimes it won't. I've always hated looking for t-shirts at small independent record stores because they think everyone likes their shirts in xl or small.

I've had to start buying everything smaller than I used to because of the new fat American. @Kye: Medium is the new XL (or vice versa?).

Yno...some of us aren't fat. I’d be happy if metal shirts would just stop coming in a size bigger than they’re supposed to.

I've got a Megadeth shirt from 93 or 94 that I'm afraid to touch in fear that it will disintegrate. I kind of always liked that slightly faded look.

This was especially true of the really low quality shirts, and the absolute worst were bootleg shirts. And by bootleg, I mean the kind you get in the parking lot after a big show from a guy that has 50 of them stuffed under his shirt. The kind you can usually haggle away from the guy for 7 bucks, or at least "2 for $20." The kind that have the wrong tour dates, and band names spelled wrong. ex. "Yo, I got this shirt in the parking lot after the Metallica show, and the piece of shit has retarded ass after one wash!"

Also, Dark formula sound metal, like it could have been an album by some old school band like Metal Church. "Man, have you heard Metal Church's new album Dark Formula? Killer." Also, you should:

If it doesn't look like it's been used and abused, it means you aren't active in the pit and other areas. Fade all the way. I have to agree with Sammy on this.

That shirt belongs stapled to your garage wall of fame, along with your other reminders of your more glorious and probably pathetic past. Like maybe the Padres World Series tickets you've hung on to since you waited in a long line outside the Murph in 1984. (Um, that's just speculation...yeah, I don't know anyone who has done any of those things...)

Pristine is not metal. Old and beat up is metal.

That's where air dry comes in. You need to air dry to avoid shrinkage. The faster something changes temperature (in this case from cold to hot) it will always fluctuate in size. In the case of cloth, it shrinks. To avoid this rapid change of temperature you need to air dry. Peaches… That’s where air dry comes in. You need to air dry to avoid shrinkage.
