Nice score for you.
Nice score for you to "inherit" the metallics from your friend!
I love metallics ... though I have noticed a big difference from one to the other.
Some seem to disappear somewhat with hot washing/drying.
Whereas some seem well "stuck", and are just as good after the fact.
I haven't had any problems with the "sticking" issues you mentioned.
At least I find out early on if there is a problem, as I am a pre-washer. Then make my decision.
TBH I haven't figured out how to tell the difference ... of the good and not-so-desirable ones.
Anyone know how to tell?
Thanks!
