Hey guys,

So I just washed my gildan t shirts, low temperature and no fabric softener, the design softened loads which is great, that's why I washed them, however now my t-shirts aren't very soft anymore, they feel a bit rigid and hard. I know I'm not supposed to put fabric softener on the first wash so I didn't, any advice on what to do? Maybe after wash softener sprays? Or should I just sell them without washing them first? But I'd rather not do that.

Thanks so much in advance

It is not a good idea to sell washed garments. We only test wash a garment from a run. What goes to the customer is brand new never washed.

Agreed! You never know what the customer might be allergic to.

Ok brilliant, suppose it will save me time and money, I was worried the customer would wash it on a high temp for the first wash and I've heard that can ruin the design?

Try doing that yourself. Then you'll know how to handle a customer. If the shirt is fine, nothing to worry about. If the shirt is messed up, you'll have an example to show them what can happen.
