I have nice looking shirts (that are hardly dated nor much frayed) from 20 years ago. I buy all cotton, and organic if I can. Proper and not too-frequent wash

  What makes washing proper (or improper)? How frequent is too frequent?

    Cold or warm wash, don’t overagitate air dried helps a lot.

    Machine drying removes a tremendous amount of fibre from clothes, vs. line-drying. That's what dryer lint is. Both tumbling and temperature contribute to wear. Clothes washing itself as well, though I believe to a lesser extent. Sufficient vs. excessive laundering helps greatly. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/08/990831080157.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/08/990831080157.h...
