hang dry or in the dryer?

Which do you prefer?

I hang dry my shirts because I think that keeps them "fresher" longer. I usually iron the wrinkles out before wearing them.

Hang dry; prints and dryers aren't as compatible as we might like ;)

It depends on the shirt. Some of my shirts get special treatment, others just get tossed in the dryer. :)

I throw all my stuff in the dryer. I guess thats cause all the car fuels exhaust adds to the aromaof the shirt. .. JB

wash on cold and dry on the lowest setting.

Ironing your shirts/prints is not the best idea.

:D DRYER all the way!! I used to pick the ones I wanted to "keep newer" and hang dry them, but then they are all wrinkled. I am a NO IRONING fool so I just toss them all in the dryer now. If its a really expensive one, I'll take it to the dry cleaners.

I don't see a difference in the design itself.. more that the tee wears out faster though.
