  1. Reddit post from user martinperets on MetalForTheMasses with the title "PSA: Dryers are the reason you concert shirts look terrible. " Text reads, "Ever wonder why your sweet concert shirt from 5 years/ months/days ago looks like shit? It used to be jet black with crisp art, but now it's a fuzzy gray with a faded design that's loaded with color breaks. It was so cool before but now it totally sucks. What happened? The dryer. The dryer happened. If you have a shirt that you genuinely care about (special show / limited edition / you just especially like it) - I recommend the following routine for cleaning care: • Turn shirt inside out (thanks GuyGenius138) • Delicate wash on coldest setting, short or no spin cycle • Skip the dryer, hang it up, and air-dry it It seems like a pain in the ass, but it's really not that bad, and if you do this you will have a flawless looking shirt for as long as you want to own it.
