I received today an E6 Punk that I had purchased off the bay, and the shirt shows significant backward curling along the edges of the sleeves and the bottom of the shirt. Has anyone else dealt with this on their cloth shirts, and is there a commonly accepted method of correcting the issue? I had thought about just ironing it (carefully), but I figured that this couldn't be an isolated incident and wondered if any board members had sage advice on the topic. All help is appreciated.

Yeah, the older shirts suck and most if not all of them will curl over time. The new material is light years better.

Literally ALL of my old fabric shirts from the early elite series had that issue. If you use a cool iron it may fix it, but I see it going back after awhile. If it bugs you a lot I say go for that method, but if its something you can live with, I say don't take the chance of potentially causing damage to it.

yea mine are like that too. and at least on some of mine the velcro didnt go all the way down the shirt either which made the curling even worse. so i folded a small piece of tape to fill the velcroless gap and that took care of a most of the bottom curling for me.

Especially since the older shirts only have the Velcro half way down the back. Those shirts look more like a woman's blouse.

At least my Punk, E6 and E11 shirts are the same material as E1. I know around E9 they made the rubber shirts. E16 Punk is the first figure I remember getting with that new style fabric. I don't know when it started though. |

Road To WrestleMania The Rock and Elite 12 Justin Gabriel were the first examples of the new shirts when they changed, I believe. Possibly WrestleMania 27 Kofi and Austin too, but they might have still had the old style shirts.
The old ones really did suck with the half-velcro and the curling up... But the new ones have a kind of shiny/glittery look that isn't great.
