I do this, it definitely works but the wear and tear is still there. This does help shirts last longer!
I have shirts from the 1980's that are still in great condition, and then I have shirts from 6 months ago that are ruined. They've definitely cut costs to the point that the products we're buying these days are disposable junk.
When this happens to me, I lean into the distressed look and peel off as much as I can.
Admit it, you peel it off because peeling is satisfying!
