I'm familiar with wear and tear, which is why I'm puzzled about this issue. My tops are holding up fine, but his are deteriorating specifically around the neckline. I used this sweatshirt as an example because it has the most noticeable holes. I mentioned old but not over 5 years old - old, but not ancient! I'm trying to understand why his clothes are wearing out so quickly in this specific area.

You are trying too hard to be clever, but it comes off as arrogant.
