Ok, i made a test shirt out of an old crappy undershirt as well, and I'll try washing that one in a regular warm water cycle sometime in the week. Tomorrow I'll wear the good one and see how it goes.Tippmann98 wrote:Nice! Yes, please do get to us how that laundry test goes.

ok everybody, finally had some time to get these up
pics of the laundry test:

Cold water handwash:

Results:
First thing I did was put the first test shirt through the warm water wash, to see how bad it would fade. I knew it was going to, but you can tell how bad by the pic. This gave it prep fade kinda look, but I wouldnt really recommend it.
The Cold water wash was pretty good, with minimal signs of fading in the blue area and almost none in the red area. Keep in mind the cold wash was a hand wash, but i scrubbed pretty hard to simulate a washing machine, lol.
Conclusion:
As long as you do a cold water wash, this shirt should last. My teacher in that class has another method of shirt printing that lasts longer, but currently only has white and orange color tones. The good shirt that I cold washed, I wore the next day to school and it felt fine and a bunch of ppl noticed it.
