Same here. Those pinholes have ruined dozens of nice shirts for me and it aggravates me to no end!

I have narrowed the cause down to two things in my case:

-Rubbing against the granite in the kitchen, particularly when cleaning and my shirt gets wet.

-The seatbelt in the car, particularly when I have jeans on (the metal grommet button).

I thought it was the washer for awhile, but we went from an agitator to a front loader, and I was very careful to zip jeans and fasten other closures...still holes.

There was a button on the seatbelt that rubbed against my belt line, so my husband took that off. It helped some. I got one of those fluffy seatbelt protectors, and that helps some. I got a cobbler-styles apron and that helps a lot...if I remember to put it on.

I still get pinholes now and then, but it's vastly improved. It's always in the expensive shirts, of course.
