Loose Fit Tech Polo Shirt

Very disappointed with these polos. I followed the manufacturer care instructions exactly, including washing with like colors, cold 30 degree wash, no fabric softener, and testing multiple cycles ranging from delicate to normal wash settings. The shirts were washed alone and tested on two different machines. Despite proper care and normal use, every shirt developed the same defect after washing. As shown in the photo, the fabric becomes visibly damaged and starts to distort and fray after routine laundering. This is not abuse, misuse, or improper care. These shirts were washed according to instructions. For the price and brand reputation, I expected much better durability. A polo should be able to survive standard washing without falling apart or showing defects this quickly after one wash. Unfortunately, this appears to be a quality control or material issue. Would not recommend unless you are okay treating a polo like it is made of spun sugar and good intentions.
