i got a tiedye shirt and a sloth shirt with gold chrome and even tho they look extremely sick after one use and no washing or drying i am convinced that it is just shiny sticker vinyl stuck on some shirts, the C is peeling off on my tiedye one already and a few other corners of letters are coming off. i dont expect these shirts to last over a month without stuff peeling off, especially after washing, i just dont fell like my money, although they were my only birthday present from my parents, along with rime knits hats which are fucking amazing, buy those all up right away, i hope i dont come off like i dont think these shirts are sick, i just feel like they are just cotton with sticker vinyl stuck to them. does anyone else who bought them feel this way?
Thanks for your time if you read this

Whoa. Step back, buddy, and put in just the smallest amount of punctuation. Command, I do not copy.

These shirts are made with a vinyl that is specifically designed for shirts, and is actually heat pressed onto the fabric. It should have no problems surviving abuse and a ton of washes. If you are having problems with yours contact BigJim and we'll see what we can do to get it resolved.

Yes he is absolutely correct. I have many of the shirts, and wash them constantly. The chrome you need to take good care of so it doesn't wrinkle, but the rest of it washes tonnes.

We have test shirts that have washed 50+ times without anything peeling off.

If you have a shirt that has part of the design peeling off, then you've got one of the defective ones! We'll gladly replace it with a new shirt!

This is a great opportunity for me to take a look at the shirt and see exactly where problem is with the bonding of the vinyl to the fabric, if you can take a picture and pm it to me or simply explain the where it's peeling in detail that would be amazing. This way I can make some adjustments so that future shirts don't run into this problem!

Thanks!

In order for the chrome to stay shiny, you need to make sure to take good care of it. Hand washing is the absolute best way to do it.

Most shirts with silver or gold on them will be the same. If you machine wash 'em it will wrinkle and rub off.

So if you're an owner of a chrome shirt - make sure to follow the care instructions that came with it!

But please do get in touch with Jimmy if you have a problem. We stand behind each and every one of our products, and want to make sure our customers are as happy as is possible.

Could you perhaps return it to us and we'll send you a new one? We'd like to analyze.

If this is happening, we'll change the process we're using so it won't happen again!
