Have you ever bought a shirt only to find it falling apart soon after wearing it? It might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but now after a quick wear and wash, it's already looking a bit threadbare.  Well here's three easy steps that will help you get a good idea on whether you should buy or not.

Put Your Clothes to the Test

Do a quick stress test of your clothes. Grasping the fabric in both hands, gently tug at it and then release. If it snaps back into place, none the worse for wear, then that's a good sign. On the other hand, if a quick tug was enough to damage the garment, stretch it out, or alter the fabric, then needless to say, you're probably not going to want to pick that one. You're also probably going to want to get away from the scene of the crime as soon as possible. You vandal.

Ball up the garment in your hands and then let go. Try to shake out the wrinkles. If they get shaken out easily, then that's a good sign. If it wrinkles easily, and stays wrinkled, not only is that a bad sign in terms of quality, but it'll also probably make you look like a slob if you wear it, and that's something most people want to avoid. Assuming you're not really into the bohemian look.

And of course, one of the easiest quality checks - hold it up to the light. The thicker the material, the more rugged and longer lasting it'll end up being. And really, do you actually want translucent clothing? No, no you don't. Unless you happen to be into that sort of thing.

So there you have it, 3 quick and easy ways of checking the quality of clothing. Of course, you don't have to worry about that from Cubic Promote's collection of promotional T shirts. Or so we hope. After all we've got people quality checking already.
