Hi:
I'm a guy, an older guy, with an aging body, and not enough problems to keep my mind off an annoyance for which I've found no solution.
Stiff, scratchy, polo shirt collars. The knit collars that are supposed to look rolled and designed to keep their shape... neat... no twists or curling.
Yeah... they do that... they look good, but... After five or six washings, the fold takes on a permanent crease, and becomes sawtoothed, hard, and acts like a hacksaw on the wizened skin of some of us old timers.
And it doesn't matter what brand. They all do the same thing... except for the silky Izod shirts. They stay soft. Slight problem. They're down to one style, and the local Bergmans (Carsons) sells it for about $70 and even at half price, just too much to pay.
........................
That's the problem. Have tried stretching, fabric softener, warm water, cold water, air dry, ironing, flattening between hard surfaces and hanging with the collars inside out. Nada.. Nothing works.
I hate tee shirts, and haven't worn a non polo/golf shirt in 25 years, so alternatives aren't the answer.
That's the problem: Never heard anyone else talk about this, so just assume that it's one of those things that curmudgeons find to complain about when there's nothing else to criticize. Best to let this one go as a simple "picky" rant to vent and go on with life... Let it slide off the list.
Next up... the toothpics that splinter when they get pushed into my martini olives.
