James Perse tops

[fashion16]

I have several James Perse tops (bought all at the same time) and they are all darker colors including a black. After the first wash, they have been collecting lint, fuzz, pet hair.... pretty much anything you can imagine sticks to them b/c of the super fine, super soft cotten. I now have several $70+ glorified t-shirts in my closet that never get worn b/c they look horrible unless I lint roll them ever 10 minutes.
Does anyone else have this problem? Have you found a solution?

I have only one James Perse top, so I went and checked it out. It looks perfectly brand new. I bought mine at Nordstrom. If you did too, I would return yours and let them know you are not satisfied. Most other stores do not have the same customer focused return policy. However, many online shops do.

Thanks ShoeAngel. I did buy mine at Nordy's as well...in Savvy to be exact. Nordy's is reallly good about their return policy...I guess it just didn't want to return them if I was doing something wrong. How long have you had yours? What color is your top?

Hm, that's good to know. I love his tops because they're so soft but if that's what's going to happen to them after washing then I don't know if I want to buy them.

I guess I actually have two. One is between a dark rose and burgundy (I don't know what to call that color...milky burgundy?), and the other is all white. I'm pretty sure they are both about a year old.

I usually do not have problems with 100% cotton fabrics. It is usually when synthetics are blended in that I see a deterioration of fabric quality due to washing and drying.

I definitely recommend taking your shirts back to Nordies. JP shirts are way to expensive not to be 100% happy with them.

The same thing happened to me....had the same problem with Splendid tees. I think I'll stick with Banana Republic and JCrew.

I had the same problem with my black James Perse one-shoulder top!

I have a couple of the slouchy necked tops in red and orange and a short sleeved version in white and haven't noticed this. I just use the high efficiency soap that's recommended for the washing machine we have and then dry them on very low heat and they seem to come out well.

I have a bunch of JP tops and haven't had that problem.

i have never had this problem with his stuff... the problem i do have with them is that the super soft cotton gets holes in it after a fairly short time...
