If its a blend you could use burnout ink that would remove the cotton. it can even be part of a design. Or you could wear it for a year and wash it once a week. Its Friday and almost beer thirty so I'm a little crazy on the last comment.
I am not looking to do burnouts or any other types of washes basically I am looking to distress around the collar, sleeves and body of the tee itself.. not over doing it just a slight distressing. I am not looking to do this to just one tee but a mass amount on a reguilar basis.
Sounds like you want some grinded hems? If you are looking to do yourself, you should search the threads for it because I belivev there was another discussion in here about that... or possibly a few
Or try googling how to do yourself.
Distressing a shirt should be easy, just throw it in the deep end of the pool without a life jacket. (ba-da-ta!) Just kidding, obviously.
Could you wash the tees with a mild bleach solution, enough to pale the color a bit, but not to completely change it? Maybe glue some 80 grit sandpaper to a board and drag the tees across that a few times in different directions, kind of "whipping" the fabric on to the board, rather than grinding it in there?
you can get yourself a second hand old dryer and run a load of your shirts with rock in the cycle. I honestly have not done this but I have been thinking about how I could achieve this same effect. Now this wouldn't target specifically the collars and sleeves but with some bleach I think it might have a unique look. I wish I had enough room to attempted this myself. If you end up trying, post your results!
