Issac said don't hang up your pima shirts!!!

I have an entire closet of these pima cotton shirts hanging up nicely on velvet hangers.  One show  Issac said they are to be folded and placed in a drawer.  

 

First, I hate the fold lines they get and second I don't have any drawer space!  Will they be ruined if hung up?  Please discuss.

I like those pima shirts and mine are hanging on nice hangers.  I haven't noticed anything happen to them yet.

@Helen Bach   I don't have Isaac's, but I do have Pima cotton tops in my closet, all on hangers with no issues.

I use flocked hangers. No issues with any fabrics either woven or knit.

I hang most of my clothing.  I don't have a lot of drawer space but ample closet space.  The only thing I never hang are sweaters.   I've never seen pima cotton "grow" on a hanger?!

100% cotton fabrics do have a tendency to "grow" which is the reason I like a 5% spandex added. I don't like fold lines on my clothes IF I had enough drawer space, which I do not. The threat of his shirts growing is the main reason I don't purchase his pima cotton shirts.

Over the last several years I have purchased about 30 of the pima shirts by Isaac.  I store all of them on hangars in my closet.  I have not noticed any problems with that.  I will continue to use hangars.

If it's tightly woven or knitted, the chance of it growing are reduced.  Some knit fabrics will grow WHILE you are wearing them.

Happy to see that I am not the only one who has a closet full of Isaac pima shirts!  I have replaced my entire shirt wardrobe with them.  I am getting older and hope they last as long as I do.  So comfy and look great!  I hang mine on plastic hangers with no problem.  I have a feeling that Pima is fading away or getting very expensive.  More and more of his shirts are cotton/modal.  Don't really like the feel of these!

Re: Issac said don't hang up your pima shirts!!!

I only buy 100% cotton tee shirts.  I wash them in cold water and hang to dry.  If it is winter time and the water is icy cold, I toss the shirts in the dryer for about a minute, no longer than that, to warm them up to avoid wrinkles.

 

I put them on a flocked hanger to dry and put them in my closet afterward.  I do not fold them because they get wrinkled.  I also do not have a place to keep so many folded shirts. My drawers are stuffed already.

 

Mine do not grow on the hangers even when wet.  I do not put heavy sweaters on a hanger, but lightweight shirts on a hanger cause no issues for me.
