Thanks for the tip, I might try this next time. I basically saturated them with water when cleaning them just now, so I don’t think soaking them would be much different. I also wonder if washing soda would improve them a little.

Thanks! I agree, they do look like something from an earlier decade. I also needed new shorts and shirts around the same time that I got these, and I decided to just get some completely plain cotton shorts, t-shirts, and tank tops. I like how my current athletic wear would be completely standard at any time between about 1920 and 1970.
