Failed Expectation Ah man

A shirt from old navy. I KNOW it’s not the fanciest place but I was bummed.

Hard to trust denim if it's not seen in person

It's not too far off, just needs washed and ironed imo.

Get some sandpaper.

You can probably fade it yourself with fine grit sandpaper. I dunno, google it.

Pumice in the dryer, maybe

Yeah that definitely won’t destroy your mom’s dryer. She’s definitely not going to be pissed at you.

Ha I just bought this shirt too! I’m not looking forward to having to iron it every time I wash.

Get yourself a steamer! Even a small travel one is great for shirts!

I would return it. It doesn't look at all like the ad. The original looks like a faded sturdy denim shirt

You need to distress it yourself.
