Anyone else have this problem?

I'm starting to go crazy over these damn holes that keep appearing in my shirts!  It started about a year ago, all cotton t-shirts, tunics, shirts get tiny holes around my waist (where my jeans button).  I have no idea how this happens but I'm assuming it has something to do with my pants.  It's not brand specific (the jeans or shirts) b/c I've tried lots of different brands.  I'm just so frustrated that sometimes I only wear a shirt once before a tiny hole starts to appear around my midsection.  I've even returned shirts before!

Am I the only one this is happening to? 

Re: Anyone else have this problem?

  • YES!!  Bugs the *** out of me.  That and the stains.  I swear to God I can look at something and it will leave a stain on my shirt.  So frustrating.
  • Thank God I'm not the only one!  I'm devastated today b/c I found a hole in a super cute shirt I bought at Banana Republic :(I wore it twice.....grrrr!
  • i think a lot of clothes are not very well made. i've noticed those little holes in shirts that are maybe a few months old, have been washed only on delicate, and hung dry. it's really effing annoying!

    That happens to me too.  And I can't stand it when the sweaters start pilling after only a month of use.  wtf?
  • for me I notice it's those thinner style shirts that are all the rage these past 5+ years. My good, old-fashioned gap shirts last but I refuse to buy any banana republic clothes anymore b/c everything is so thin it gets destroyed by my jeans or pants, etc. Same for some old navy thin tshirts.

    I've taken to buying all my long sleeve tshirts at target on clearance  --- and then those end up lasting longer so it's a double bonus of only costing me $5 and it actually lasts me 2 seasons!

    Don't get me started on stains! Shout is my new best friend - I shout out every single stain as soon as possible and it is saving me finally.

  • This happens to me all the time! They look like little moth holes.  I thought it was just me!

    We wash almost all our clothes on delicate in cold water and most of my stuff I hang to dry.  My old navy t-shirts all have these little holes, like the size of a nerd candy. 

    I just noticed one in a sweater the other day.  It is 2 seasons old, from Old Navy and is pilling something awful. 

    I did buy a sweater shaver and that has helped some of my clothes.  I also just bought one of those delicate sweater/bra bags.  I am trying that out too. 

    I feel like clothes lately are such a waste of money.  I can't afford to shop at really expensive stores, so places like gap, old navy, target and walmart are my friends! 

    Don't get me started on stains!  EVERYTHING I own has a stain on it.  My wardrobe needs to be replaced!
