[quote=Anonymous]I have many t-shirts and shirts has so many holes and wonder why.  This drive me crazy especially I've got so many holes in my nice expensive BODEN shirts.  I really hate this!

I know few things though --

Not caused by moths/bugs.  There are no holes on my husband shirts which we share walk-in closet.  Plus, there is no holes on my back or shoulder.  Just around my tummy.

Not caused by washing machine.  I wash all of our shirts and pants in this same washer.  I only get holes on my shirts.  Not my husband or kids shirts.  Just mine. Plus, why don't I get any holes on other part of my shirts like back or sleeves?  Just around my tummy on the front.

Not caused by seatbelt.  I do not drive or ride a car so much.  My husband drive a car all the time and wear seatbelt every time.  He has no holes in his shirts.

Not caused by zipper or jeans button.  I do get holes on my shirts even when I wear leggings and sweatpants.  Kids wear jeans with zipper and their shirts untacked.  No holes on their shirts but mine.

Not caused by beer/soda bottle top.  I do not drink beer/soda and do not use shirt to open any bottle.  Still I get holes on my shirts.

There are several possibilities that I saw online and I think those are quite right.

-- Granite countertop.  My kitchen countertop is granite and my work desktop is granite.  Holes started to appear since our kitchen countertop become granite.  My family member do not use granite countertop at all and they do not have any holes on their shirt.

-- Stovetop cooking.  Fat splash from cooking.  I do cook a lot and do not wear apron.  And when I wear apron because I do not want to stain my white shirt, that shirt doesn't get any holes and stay clean without fat or oil splatter.  And my family member do not cook at all and they do not have any holes on their shirt.

-- Quality of cotton fabric.  They become thinner than before I got holes on my shirts.  Its just recent like 4 or 5 years ago.  Old shirts do not have any holes so far.  Exception is 2 of my 100% cashmere sweater has holes around my tummy just like cotton top.

So from now on, I will wear canvas apron to protect my shirt to see if it will help or not.  I do cook a lot with hot oil -- deep frying or stir frying with high temp and it always splatter some oils from cooking.  And I do also lean again granite countertop a lot.

I hope this info will help someone!
