Holes in my shirt?

[kawasakirob]

Was digging through boxes to see what I could get rid of before I moved and found a box that had some really cool shirts in it.

One was a 1994 Laguna Seca 500GP shirt with Schwantz and Kocinski on the back. Thing is its got holes in it. What's the deal? What causes the holes? Any cures?

There's some really cool shirts in this box, and I don't want holes in them. Do they come naturally? Does the thread diminish over time?

Moths don't actually eat the clothes; it is their larvae that does!

man I wish it was a joke. I have some badass shirts in that box. My dads old squadron shirts, old 500GP shirts, Hayden RC51 shirts, signed shirts... Stupid moths.

Thanks for the help Bueller

Helping would be telling you how to get rid of them (seem like bird seed is a huge culprit how larvae get into houses; always freeze it first to kill larvae))

Rob just throw some moth balls in there, it will keep the moths away, your shirts will smell like an old lady but after washing them a few dozen times it goes away

NOOOO!!!!! Moth balls are pesticides and new evidence have come out that they are bad stuff


The key ingredient in moth balls is naphthalene, a widely-used and highly-manufactured chemical. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified naphthalene as a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemical. [2] A PBT does not readily break down in the environment, does not easily metabolize, and may be hazardous to human health or the environment. The EPA has also classified naphthalene as a high priority PBT chemical.

Get the vacuum bags. They are like $20 and work well.

Put clothes in bag, suck air out of bag, store for many years.

He asked what was causing holes.
Besides the CSC has you, and you must not really have shit to do, so I figured you could research it. :LOL:
