This fabric pills very badly.  Its not how I wash the garment because, I use fine mesh garment bags and lay to dry.  The problem is in wearing the garment.  It pills everywhere there is rubbing on the surface.

 Silly me, I bought several of these at one time. As I wear them they look worse after about two times. If I kick the time to the pill them, Im spending far too much time on the garment than its worth.

I will not be buying anymore and I will not be using a de-pill them every time. I will wear a few times and throw them away.  The purple top shows the before and after areas after I used my de-pilling shaver.
Waste of money.
