Where the heck do you get decent and relatively cheap mens t-shirts from? (feddit.uk)

I've put a bit of timber on but this is getting ridiculous. The only ones I've found that don't shrink in the wash are graphic tees from Qwertee and the like.

Any recommendations??

All clothes in a cold wash for me, and I use powder not liquid. Never fabric softener, never tumble dried, neber on the maximum spin speed. That’s the way to minimise wear on clothing.

Not only are high temps not necessary, they’re often worse. The enymes in the detergent will denature and do absolutely nothing if heated too much; you may as well have just used hot water and no detergent at all.

neber on the maximum spin speed.

Does this make a much of a difference? I'd imagine the wash temperature and using the tumble drier are probably the biggest culprits for shrinking clothes.
