All my Hyena Agenda, Nomad Complex and 0Fox shirts have the best silk screening I’ve ever seen. No cracking, no peeling, doesn’t feel like hard or weird like low-quality Walmart shirts, etc.
Too bad the first two places went out of business. :(
I have shirts from the 1980’s that are still in great condition, and then I have shirts from 6 months ago that are ruined. They’ve definitely cut costs to the point that the products we’re buying these days are disposable junk.
I kinda see this the most with DTG printing. And cheaper silkscreening. Takes years for for the good silk screened stuff to start degrading like that for me.
I have reached the point where I actively avoid visible branding, prints or writing. Not only do they look like shit after two or three washing cycles tops, often like 90% of the price is for the logo on it.
Though i also will pay extra (within reason) when presented with the choice between a branded product and a more expensive one without any visible logos.
I value quality clothing that lasts more than a season or two, and I dont want to be a walking ad space for some corporation.
When I worked retail, I bought every color of our basic shirt. And then every color again with the pocket. Been years now and they still look new and mix and match easily
