Slub Knit Tops

Anyone else having little holes in their tops where the pants fasten at the waist. I have learned not to wear slub fabric tees with any pants with fasteners. I kept getting little holes and realized I can only wear them with pull on pants. I have ruined several tops!

All the time. From what I've researched it's caused by the button rubbing against the tee. I wish I had a cure.

I have several slub knit tops. I like the look and feel of them but they don't seem to hold up very well for me. The threads seem to pull out of shape pretty easily.

There is a cure!! After much researching I found two products that you put on your pants/jeans so you won't get holes in your shirts. I purchased Lickety Klip. Also on Amazon is Shirt Guardian. No holes what so ever for me!!

Never ever have I had any top fail due to waist fasteners. I do have a couple of slub knits. Could it just be too thin a fabric?

@Still Raining

It is definately due to the fabric being thinner. They are cool and comfortable but almost see thru in spots because of the fabric.

i can't believe that there's actually a post about this because i thought it happened only to my husband's tees! yes, only the slub knits. he couldn't figure out what the cause was, but i had an idea. this post just confirmed it.

I’ve personally never had it happen to my slub knits, but I can understand how it might.

I ruined so many t-shirts from the waistband point on my jeans. So annoying.

I've had it happen with lots of lighter weight tees (inclusing those from places like Lands' End) -- not slub knits. (I also don't think slub knits are any less expensive to make -- it's just a different type of knit.) At my height, the button on pants/jeans hits right about counter height, and I finally realized that working in the kitchen and washing dishes was probably the main culprit for the tiny holes I found.
