These aren't deal-breakers, but they're worth keeping in mind if you want your tee to last.

Washing too often. Every wash wears down the print a little. Unless it's actually dirty or sweaty, you can wear a tee a few times between washes. Airing it out overnight works wonders.

Rough fabrics. Zippers, buttons, or even a rough backpack strap can abrade the print over time. That's not a flaw—it's just physics. Be mindful when you're layering.

Low-quality ink. Sometimes the problem isn't you. If the print feels thick and plasticky, it's likely a cheaper vinyl. That'll crack no matter what you do. You can't fix it, but you can avoid it next time.
