My crew neck shirts get a worn out neck line after one wash

| Do you still wear crew necks with worn/stretched necklines? These aren't old shirts. I even bought expensive ones from Nordstrom and this happened. And I don't put them in the dryer. I can’t tell if people notice other people’s necklines and it looks sloppy. But this shouldn’t happen so frequently! |

| The necklines on my crew neck tees only seem to stretch out if I wear them while washing my face and then take them off before they dry, thus causing them to stretch weirdly over my head. If I don’t take them off while wet, they last a reasonable time. |

Since you don’t dry them — How are you hanging them to dry? Maybe it’s the hangers shape.
Maybe you could try using the dryer on low for one and see if that makes a difference. |

lol, no! Ok, maybe the word should be puckered and I don’t know if I’m being a perfectionist or not. Do your crew necks lay straight and flat at the neckline or are there bumps like puckering that you notice? Not sure it matters when it’s 100 degrees out but just annoys me. |

| I tumble dry on the very low heat setting and have no issues at all. |

| Try uniqlo crew neck t shirts. They have a thicker seam at the neck and hold their shape really well. |

Agree. Uniqlo is better but sometimes I don’t want a heavy oversized cotton tee |

| Loft has T-shirts that are super lightweight that are great for summer. But within a few washes the necks look bad. Sigh. |
