"The technique I tried was a bit of a letdown. The red crewneck I tested had the loosest collar, and while there was a subtle difference, it wasn't the significant change I hoped for."
"I was doing a big load of laundry at my local laundromat, so I had less control over the cycle than if it was at home, but I set it to high heat and it came out completely dry."
"A few creators also recommend wrapping the collar with a rubber band or folding it in the same accordion wave before dipping it in the boiling water, which could've made a difference."
"The minimal changes in the tightness and texture of the collar left me unimpressed with this method."
Oversized crewneck sweatshirts often have loose, stretched-out collars, especially vintage ones. To address this, various methods were tested to tighten these collars. One method involved using high heat in a dryer, which resulted in only subtle improvements. Other techniques, such as wrapping the collar with a rubber band or folding it before boiling, were suggested but did not significantly enhance the collar's tightness. Overall, the effectiveness of these methods was disappointing, revealing the difficulty in restoring the original shape of clothing.
