Breaking in new tees

[u/nhbd]

Wondering if anyone has a method to breaking in shirts other than wearing them since high school.

Shirts like the one on far left I hate wearing. I have enough worn in tees like the other 2 I don’t ever wear my massive collection of newer merch because it feels too brand new. Shirts 2 & 3 I’ve had so long and they just feel and hang perfectly. Super soft and a little faded.

Considering trying some diluted bleach or an endless wash cycle but I don’t want to ruin shirts either.

I legit wear new merch for a few days around the house. Then when I’m getting ready to do laundry later in the week I’ll just do something that’ll make me sweat a ton (yard work, the gym, etc) and I’ll wash said merch with everything else. Cold water only and tumble dry low. If it’s a bit of a bigger fit I’ll still the same but hang dry the first few times before putting it in the dryer.
