From my experience, most OEM failures come from:

That requires engineering, not just cutting.
Training tanks are worn for:
That means they must:
Basic tee factories optimize for appearance.
Training tanks must be optimized for heat, motion, and abuse.

| Wash standard | Long-term wear |
Every shortcut becomes visible on body.
