Gold Foil

[ryphlex]

Alright, so I got some tee's and crewnecks that have gold
foil print on them, but they fit kind of big. I usually would just
throw them in the dryer to add some shrinkage, but I've never
put a article of clothing with a type of foil print (ie: alife x krink).

If I were to do so, would it crack and just totally fcuk up?

If so, what are efficient ways to save the quality of print
but allow the article to shrink a little?

Read the tag on the shirt. It will probably say like....flip this mofo inside out and wish it n shit.

Na, no can do.

My boy makes these crew's and tee's and he
has his own tags that he had made to replace
the usual tag you would see on tee
(ie: size, quality, made in, etc).

It's 100% cotton for sure, so I know they will shrink
a bit. It's just the print/screen is gold foil that I worry
about because I sure as hell don't want them to crack.

Whatever just flip it inside out. Don't fucking think about dry cleaning it...

best way to keep foil printed shirts looking new is to put it in a pillow case thats tied AND turn the garment inside out. it will last MUCH longer that way. dry cleaning IS an option tho.

So I should wash it, then grab an empty pillow case,
throw the shirt/crew in there, tie the end of the pillow case
shut, and that would work?

If it's in the pillow case, it should still shrink right?
Cause that's my main goal; to make it more fit.

You can't put it in the dryer. He's talking about putting it inside out inside a pillow case and washing it that way. Then you need to hang dry it. Sorry, but you're not going to be able to shrink it without messing it up.

[steppingrazor]

drying it doesnt mess up the foil, its the washing that does. At least thats what ive observed. you need to wash it IN the pillowcase, and i suppose just for good measure, try it in the dryer too.
