It's a similar situation with my short sleeve T-shirts. I have two really old ones that are thin and one has holes under the arms that I keep accidentally sticking my arm through when I pull it on. I do have newer Tees, and while I wear these when I go to the gym, when I'm at home, it's my old favorites. I can't wear these in public, though.
I know why I love the old Tees so much--they're so soft and the necklines sag. I can't stand anything against my throat and tug at anything that feels close until it droops.
Do T-shirts get softer the more they're washed? If I throw my new ones in the laundry every week for a month or two, will they become as soft as my old, holey ones? Or do I have to wear them to make them soft? Is there something about the human body that makes the fabric become so buttery? And why the heck aren't T-shirts soft from the minute you buy them?
Until I can figure out the answers to these questions, I'm going to wear my not-in-public Tees around the house.
