So I own a few of The Hundreds tees, and when I washed my first T ("Cool Guys",purple,size M), I followed the instructions on the tag, expect for the "tumble dry low" part. I actually air dried it in hopes that it wouldn't shrink. Well, it did shrink, but that wasn't my main concern. When I looked at the shirt it looked like there was lint all over the screen printed part. But with closer examination, it turned out that the cotton pushed through the screen print, and looks very faded and dull, and all of the image has a purple hue to it now. So now the shirt looks really crappy.

With the second shirt I purchased, the "Blocks" t in white, size L.I followed the instructions EXACTLY this time, but still same result, expect the blocks looks worse because the white is showing through the print. Is anyone else having this issue? I love the hundreds products, and not to bash on them but I own clothes from various other companies, and the fabric has never "pushed through" the print.

so basically, I'm making this thread to see if anyone is having the same issue,and if there is anyone to prevent this. I want to cop a lot of their upcoming release, but I don't want to if all my shirts will end up the same. Anyone input would be great guys. Thanks

I have tees from various brands do this as well, though not as bad as you seem to describe it.

actually on my coolguys shirt, the same thing is happening and I haven't even washed it. The part with the black print has lint all over it. using a lint roller only makes it worse. I was thinking washing might fix it. guess u just have to live with it. none of my other hundreds shirts did that though

IS THIS YOUR FIRST TEE SHIRT?

ALL TEES DO THIS!!!!!!!! AND HONESTLY, WHO NEEDS TO READ DIRECTIONS TO WASH A TEE SHIRT.

FUCKING LAME KIDS.

um... first off... calm down... Second off, like I stated in my first post, I have shirts from many other companies and the Hundreds tshirts are the only ones that do this. For example, I rock a lot of LRG shirts and NONE of them have done this. My crooks and castles shirts don't do this either. I used to wash my crooks tees by hand inside out, and hang dry and everything, but now I just throw it in with the rest of my clothes, and its still fine. I try to keep my clothes a close to new as possible, so I generally wash them inside out, and I hang dry them. Keeps everything pretty fresh looking and doesn't shrink. But with the Hundreds shirts, nothing seems to work. Which is why I made this thread.

Like I was said, I think the hundreds are a great company, and Im not trying to rip on them. I just want to see if there is anything else I can do besides the normal (wash inside out, air dry) to keep the clothes and "new" as possible.

nowadays I don't see how there can be a thread without hate on hypebeast...it's hard to post something without getting angry replies from kids who care too much. He's jus posting a fashion-related problem with his tees and asking for inputs...I don't see how he deserves so much hate.

^Agreed, but its the same dumbass kids who post useless unfunny shit.

I would definitely jsut flip the shirt inside out to save the screenprint.
Mebbe its the chemicals youre putting int he wash thats mucking things up

CROOKS, LRG, AND THE HUNDREDS. HAHA, GOOD TASTE :( .


go wear some "underground" japanese brands that everybody would expect to cost a quarter from what you actually paid...

and on topic: i hate that shit, also happened to my some of my 10deep shirts, so i decided to handwash my shirts from now on to keep em fresh.

but i don't really understand it also, i got some ecko and lrg shit that i washed like 1000x through the last years and print still looks almost like new...
