Folks,
I was just wondering if many of those who purchased polo's in this buy have had a chance to wash the shirt yet (either before or after use)??? Before wearing my polo I washed mine and only just now found it in the ironing basket and have noticed that the logo has faded.
The left hand side of the logo seems to have lost colour and the whole logo does not seem as shiny as before washing. I realise there is meant to be a light (sort of greyish) streak down the logo as on the website and a variation in the yellow's but it really does not look as defined as it was before washing.
I followed the instructions and made sure the shirt was washed in cold water (machine) and inside out and was line dried inside out and was in the shade.
When I first got the polo I was really impressed but after washing for the 1st time I am hesitant to guess what it might the print might look like after multiple washes.
Anyone else had any problems?
The note that came with the shirt from the printers says to email them if there is any problems...I might just do that..best to let them know that there might be a problem.
Cheers, Pok

EDIT: Found the following on their website...not sure if it is what I am experiencing though.
Q: Will the image wash out?
A: Ink digitally applied to cotton and heat treated is absorbed by the fibres and set. Ink digitally applied to polyester fabrics actually bonds to the polymer during the heat pressing process, so will not wash out! Excess ink often comes out in the first wash, in a natural process which slightly fades the print, but long term durability is guaranteed. The transfers we use continue to amaze us with their reliability on our own garments. We will refund or replace any items which lose too much colour
Its a shame that the print lost is nice gloss though
