Striped T shirts!

Has no-one ever said to you or you to them that something was a waste of money?
Rude? that's being truthful not rude. It's only my opinion and that's what GN is for.

How rude!

2 for £40? ...lol.
What a waste of money.

Here's one I've had for almost 2 years from Primark. Cost £2.80. Washed on 30 degrees with other light clothes. No weird irregular hem.

Seasalt are often 2 for £40 and all mine have even stripes.

My t-shirts from Primark have and do wash well. No twisted seams, no uneven stripes and 1/3 of the price or less.
I've paid much more and not had as good results after washing.
BTW, I hang my t-shirts on hangers to dry, no tumble dryer for me as they hammer the fabric and that's why you get all that lint in the filters.
I have never had a 'bad experience' with anything bought from Primark.

I would return them!

Hmmm...
At £18 each I’d expect perfection but I’ll never see another striped top without seeing my neighbour, who has worn navy and white striped tops and jeans EVERY SINGLE DAY for TWENTY YEARS!
How about something flowery instead?

I could not live with that, they would both have to go back.

When hanging out washing, my clothes pegs are the same colour and do not contrast what they are hanging up!!!

They are * both* going back, NotSpaghetti!

I feel that a really wide stripe, colour & white, should have either the colour or white at the bottom, not a combination of both!

No, I’d also have to send it back.

I took a Joules bag back to the shop once because one of the buckles was a different colour. They told me it was their trademark, and was meant to be like that - but I just couldn’t cope with it and the bag with duly returned.

I bought a reduced price vertical striped top from Bon Marche, then discovered the probable reason for it being so cheap. The middle front stripe was off centre. I kept it, thinking it would do for gardening or decorating, but I have never worn it.

The trouble is that, once you've noticed something isn't quite right, you notice it all the time and it niggles as much as a mosquito in the room! Well, almost!

I think that when you've noticed something off kilter like a stripe it puts you off anyway and you'd never be happy or comfortable knowing or wearing, so back they go.

I found some excellent striped T shirts in good quality cotton in good old M&S this month. A bit of a hunt about among thinner ones but these are great. Only £7.50. Made in India.

Thank you all, so glad it's not me being pernickety!

I added a written comment to the returns note, wonder if it will be read?

One a bit out, umm, could be a one off quality control issue, but 2 in different colours?

Oh no couldn't put up with that!

Mind you I have to have all the tins in the cupboard with the labels facing the same way.....

I'm with you both!! It would drive me bonkers.

I've just had new glasses and they are not level. I know it's my ears but the achieved a level look with the last pair!

That would drive me mad too - they would have to go back!
