Shrunken band merchandise

On what basis?
Not faulty.

It is faulty if it shrank two sizes after washing in accordance with the manufacturers instructions!

Except fr a chargeback it has to be faulty on purchase, not at any point later.

But it was faulty at purchase if it shrank the first time it was washed - the fault that caused it to shrink existed when it was manufactured

Bear in mind, if you do decide on further action (legal?), a Solicitor’s letter will almost certainly cost more than £50.
There shouldn't be any need to involve a solicitor in this.

- How can one prove you didn't wash it at more than 30 degrees.
- What to do if, as likely, they contest the chargeback.
My advice would be chalk it down to experience, don't pay silly money for a t-shirt worth a few quid and don't involve Citizens Advice over a t-shirt. Sure the have real problems to deal with.

Thats a latent defect, which may be covered by consumer rights but its not covered by chargeback. Visa/Mastercard dont want to be judging on if its a latent defect or if the OP has washed in too high a temperature etc so it only covers if the goods turned up wrong not if they broke shortly after

The OP said they bought the t shirt from a shop in person.
Would this way of buying hamper the OP's chances of a refund?

The OP said they bought the t shirt from a shop in person.
My assumption (and perhaps the OP can confirm) is that they bought the shirt from the merchandise stand at a venue during the tour. The stand was run by the tour merch company and so their claim will be against that company.
If they bought it under different circumstances (from a retail outlet, or from a bloke with a van hanging around after the gig) then different advice might apply.

That is a developed fault.
As it fitted on purchase.
