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.

thats a good idea, but since i have access to the picture press its almost the same thing.

by the way, the laundry test is in. just have to take some comparison pics.

weather was good today, so i finally wore the spree shirt.

i got a few compliments, as well as ppl asking about it and stuff. in math class i stood up and showed it to the class, since everyone wanted to see it.

Keep in mind it would be cool if all of us here at Hondaspree.net were the only ones to have 'em.

ok everybody, finally had some time to get these up

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.
