What Apparel does not wear out too fast?

Catalog and online product pictures and descriptions make these items out to be winners when they might be losers. With so many options for t-shirts, polos, and fleece; how do we know what is really a winner? If the end user will be putting clothes in a washer and dryer, than blending fabrics get the most value. Fabrics with polyester, spandex, and lycra, are more fade and shrink resistant than all cotton. Polyester is plastic based fiber; this is why this fiber is so resistant to wear. Mixing in the cotton in the blend keeps if feeling good on the skin. These blended fabric items will wear out as well over time. I have heard that the life of polo shirts is 20 washes and then it begins to wear-out. The better you treat your clothes the better they will treat you. We always recommend to hand dry your apparel to help the shape, color, and decoration last longer.
