Ok, so does anyone know why most Merrill shirts say not to wash them with fabric softner? I don't like doing a load of laundry for one or two shirts...any ideas?!?!
 
hmm, i must have never looked at the tags...i don't use fabric softner but i do use dryer sheets, sorry I am not much hlelp...i am mad at merrill right now...lol
 
I use fabric softner but I don't put my shirts in the dryer and mine are fine. I never noticed that either.
 
This is a "WAG" answer (wild a$$ guess):p. It may be because they are making them more repellent to water and food??? Possibly it may interfere with what they may have in the fabric.

Just a guess!
