Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well.

How do you guys go about keeping your AE tee sleeves unrolled after washing or even while wearing them? I’m starting to get annoyed that they don’t stay unrolled even when putting a jacket on.

Any insight helps, thanks fellas!

With a jacket I have to manually straighten them out, but otherwise the sleeves on my AE tees don't roll up significantly. Only what I'd expect for an unfinished hem. I also lay them flat to dry and use my hands to press and shape the sleeve to its normal length straight out the wash which helps.

Isn’t that the whole point of the tee?

I hang dry after washing. I find that just that step alone mostly straightens them out. Then once they're dry (and wrinkled) I toss them in the lowest setting in my dryer for literally like 1 minute. Rarely one will come out curled up, sometimes I'll hit them with the iron real quick just on the ends if it's bothering me.

Great question lol. I was personally basing how they "should" look off JE's own pics and they never seem to be rolled. So I just figured they're not supposed to be. The rolling doesn't bother me in general but my linen AE in particular gets to the point where it looks like a Fruit Roll-Up on the bottom.

Fair enough. I don’t wear my AE tees enough for me to get that point but I can definitely see it being a bother.

Yeah I like the slight curl they come with out of the bag. Like not fully rolled up but also not straight.

My linen AE gets to like 3+ inches of rolled up material on the bottom if I let it do its thing. If the AEs weren't so long in general I'd be afraid it's gonna turn into a crop top.
