Some of our fabrics are durable high quality cottons and they take quite a lot of time to break in. It is really important that you don’t judge the fabric when you take it out of the bag, as it will probably feel a bit crunchy. Once you’ve worn it a few times and washed it a few times, it will start to soften. We normally suggest at least 5 washes before you start to notice the fabric softening, but you also need to be patient, as sometimes it can take even longer than that. We know it seems crazy to wait that long for your nightshirt to feel really soft, but as we explained above, our products are long-lasting and it takes a bit of time to break them in perfectly.
