Tiny Holes in T-Shirts?

The founder and CEO of American Giant, Bayard Winthrop, claim the tiny holes at the bottom of tee shirts are caused by friction. He says that the hardware and belt from your jeans is causing friction points that makes the material deteriorate.

One mother online wrote a post about the holes and what she discovered. She claims that the tiny holes at the bottom of the shirt are caused by mothers spending long hours pressed up against the kitchen counter washing dishes.

The hard surface of the cupboard and the zipper and button on your jeans causes friction. The holes appear over time because the friction is breaking the tiny threads in the material.

After this discovery many people started to use the half tuck to stop the material from deteriorating. Just the front of the shirt is tucked into the jeans.
