Title: Ok.. um... Ok.
Post by: tp4tissue on Wed, 18 March 2015, 15:37:44: So I got this shirt yea?

It's the kind that's pre-wrinkled in a specific vertical way..

It was put through the wash.. and now it's not wrinkled in that way, kinda just flat..

How do I re-wrinkle it.. (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/efb50fe2.gif)

If ya'll know that'd be great, if not, could you possibly forward question to a female who might know? I don't want to sound sexist..

I don't even know what it's called..

but it's just basically a sleeved shirt.. and it's wrinkled vertically to create stripe patterns

Post by: eth0s on Wed, 18 March 2015, 17:12:08: can u show a picture of the shirt? I can't imagine what kind of a shirt is pre-wrinkled in a vertical stripe pattern. I'm being serious btw, I have no idea what kind of shirt this is. Also, to my knowledge there are no shirts that look good wrinkled. Maybe, a Safari Jacket or a Safari-jacket type shirt, but that's about it. Something like this:

Also, if it's linen, it might be okay wrinkled as well, b/c linen shirts wrinkle up as soon as you put them on. But in your case, you're probably better off without the wrinkles, tbh.

I got some time to deep-google.. and it seems indeed this is the way to do it....

This seems like it's gonna take a hella long time to dry though...

It's known as a "crinkled" shirt

Post by: katushkin on Thu, 19 March 2015, 11:13:23: My suggestion would be to iron it. But because it says don't iron....

No idea. Maybe fold it the way it was and put books on it?
