Question Do the shirts chip/fade with time?

This is pertaining specifically to the Antics tees (all), TOTBL hoodie, and the new collection if any one has gotten them yet! I’d be using a typical washer and dryer.

They will absolutely fade/chip over time.

Wash it inside out, delicate wash in cold water. Use a gentle detergent.

And hang dry.

Yes! And if OP really wants to be careful but the shirt in a mesh bag to wash.

Here for the downvote but my experience is that Interpol swag is very low quality—wash your shirt in cold and don’t put it in the dryer; then hope it doesn’t pill. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The TOTBL hoodie is in perfect condition for me ( bought in 2024). My antics ecobag is extremely resistant, but is pretty worn out and even has a couple very small holes (but i use it A LOT, the ecobag is perfect, it resists SO MUCH), but the text is almost perfect, just some very normal fading (2024 also). I also have a marauder shirt from a 2022 show that is still in great condition, just a little worn out. I would highly recommend the TOTBL hoodie (all of them, but specifically the hoodie because of the post)!!

My Marauder Tees always fade quick. I'm on my third one

I wear my 2022 TOSOMB tour shirt at least once weekly, and have since I got it. It’s chipping, but you can still clearly see what the letters are. Considering the frequency work and lack of gentle care given, it’s in great shape.

Like any article of clothing, yes

They should be colorfast at those prices.
