Link: http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/i...entPage=family I ordered their T Shirts last week and I only used one of them. The shirt was so comfortable I decided I would sleep in it. Boy was it a good rest. But once I woke up, I noticed the neck was all stretched out and the shirt no longer fit me like it used to. I went into the pack and got another one to do a little comparison and boy was the difference huge, the new shirt was white and it fit me amazing, but my other one was dull and the neck was ruined... AFTER ONE USE! What can I do now? I paid $30 for these shirts and I was hoping they would be able to last. Will a wash be able to revive my shirt?

A solution would be to try hot-tumble-dry after wash.

Assuming your original post is in earnest, isn't it just an under shirt?

I wear the v-neck version of those as under shirts. They work just fine for that purpose.

I suggest you "change" shirt brands. Get it? Change?

Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job.

I think a wash and dry and it should be OK, but a little smaller.

Yet, they're listed in the underwear section of the website. I have a few of these shirts, which I've worn a few times, and I haven't had the stretching problem.
