Title: Polo shirts...
Post by: H20cleaning on July 17, 2014, 08:58:07 pm
I currently have dark navy blue polos to work in, and they only seem to last 4-6 months before they loose colour and look purple!

Whats the best colour to buy if i want them to last longer?
And where to buy them?

to be honest i don't think it really matters, if you have dark colours they start to fade if you have light colours that don't fade they show the dirt up more..i would say a light grey would probably be the best of both worlds (but just a dull colour to use)

Black. We've got black, had them a year, they're still fine. Probably depends on the quality of the garment though.

White in the Summer and Black in the Winter for maximum coolness / warmth / colour retention

My shirts had faded on the outside, I think its when they are washed, try turning them inside out before washing.
I'm going to try it on my next lot of shirts.  ::)roll

Thats isnt a bad idea! Because mine are exactly the same... The colour on the inside is fine.

You just contradicted yourself mate fruit of the loom is one of the cheapest;)
Haha but light blue is the colour people seem to choose so might go for that
