Does the gi shrink when washed

It is 100% unshrunk cotton. IT WILL SHRINK. How much depends of how it is washed and dried. Cold wash + hang dry = minimum shrinkage. Hot wash + hot dryer = max shrinkage. I bought a Size 0 expecting it to shrink. It started off slightly too big, and now it is too small. It shrank ~4" in the pant leg and ~4" sleeve length after hot wash and hot dryer. If planning to shrink it, definitely start incrementally.

It didn't. I have washed it 4 times already and it didn't shrink. The jacket takes longer to dry since it's so heavy. After a cycle i take it out to air dry.

I have two pair of these pants for several months and both have shrunk significantly. I am 5'4'' and the size 2 pants hit about the middle of my calf. The size 3 pants are now several inches shorter than I'd like. Admittedly I used the dryer on the size 2 pants (with regular heat), but on the size 3 pants I only used the delicate (cool) setting and they still shrunk a lot.

I washed it in cold water and dried it on the medium heat setting, and it shrunk a little. I am not sure how much it shrunk.. maybe an inch? It seems to stretch back out a bit - like jeans that shrink, but stretch out again after you wear them.

NO. This Judo Gi is really good. and it is perfect for beginner Georgian Judokas. :)

Maybe just a bit. Do not put it in the dryer or you'll have a gi for a GI Joe.

No. It washed just fine. I have a rather large head and no shrinkage is very important to me. It's a great hat and worth the money. I did use a baseball cap holder when I washed it to help maintain its shape so that may have helped also.

I just wash it in hot water like I usually do w/ all my beddings. I haven't noticed any shrinkage. But like you said, the pillow case barely fits the pillow to begin with. I hope you realize that if you purchased the buckwheat pillow, they intentionally overstuff it. I removed so much buckwheat that it almost filled a gallon size zip lock bag. But then again, it is all preference as to how much buckwheat you want in your pillow. Hope this helps.

No it doesn't shrink when washed. Love this skirt especially for travel, it's so comfortable, packable and light weight. I have it in two colors.

I washed mine as soon as I got it in cold water seperately in case it bled and then threw it in the dryer and did not exsperince any shrinking. Hope this helps

I would think so. We have a queen-sized deluxe air bed with a memory foam pad on top, and our queen sized sheets fit very well. And there was no shrinkage when we washed them.

not at all - no shrinkagehowever I do not leave them in the dryer for FULL CYCLE - I take them out after about 10-15 minutes and usually just damp and they dry quickly on their own. very good product just bought 2 more

Yes. Washes and dries very well. I dried it on medium heat. There was no shrinkage or loss of shape. It was actually nicer after being laundered.

Yes, I've washed it but not dried it, just air dry. Colors still look the same too.

I have not washed it, but I see no reason why it can't be washed on a gentle cycle and then just fluff dry. I wouldn't want to shrink it as it is just the right size for a standard ironing board right now.

Yes it shrinks. I bought a King size. I washed it in cold water and dried it on perma press cycle and it shrank 5" each direction. Get a King size for a queen size bed.

yes they shrink but only the way that your denim jeans would. it's a tighter fit right after they come out of the dryer but much like our jeans, they tend to stretch out with consistent use until they're thrown in to the wash again. I was mine about once a week (we have 2 so we alternate them!)

I've washed mine 2 or 3 times and have had no issue with shrinking. I love it. I am able to wash it in my large capacity washer and dryer.

I have washed and dried mine twice. It did shrink some the first time, I only partially dried it and then finished with line drying. It may shrink more if you completely machine dry. Note that it is longer than wide so striped run wide way. I LOVE this spread personally.

Of course you can it's cotton. As you know washing in hot water and drying on hot will shrink Cotton.

In my experience, it hasn't shrunk at all. I usually line dry it, but it snuck into th dryer once or twice and was fine. Hope that helps!

Yes. I've put it in the washer and dryer with no problems. Maybe there was some minor shrinkage, but nothing noticeable.
