I'm sure 99.6% of you NT'ers probably have a mean T-shirt game in your closets. And knowing NT you probably dropped anywhere from $30-$80 on just one! Anyway, my question is what are your methods to keeping your T's as fresh as they were when you picked them up from the store with minimal fading/shrinking. Is there a certain detergent you use for different colors/materials? A specific method you use to dry them? Oh and how do you guys fold/store 'em? I myself use a regular HE detergent with the washer on Cold/Delicate. Then do a no heat cycle in the dryer for 1.5hrs. And to store I copped one of those T-shirt foldy things (keeps things uniformed) and stack them mugs.

Machine wash cold.

Clothes go in washer/dryer inside out

I make sure to take clothes out when they are slightly damp.

wait for clothes to fully dry.

fold and store in closet.

over drying them will eventually ruin the fabric. 
I pretty much always hang my tee's on the line to dry.  I never put them in the dryer at all.
