I am 71 inches tall and 197 pounds. I want to wash and use a dryer. How much will it shrink with drying and what size should I get?

Unless you want shrinkage I suggest you never machine dry a heavy gi. I was told that if you what slight shrinkage you can take the gi out mid way, I tried this and while I could still wear that gi the shrinkage was more that I wanted.

It will shrink considerably, how much is anyone's guess. I've never used a dryer on any of my gis.

Use the size chart provided, but mine did not shrink that much. I use a hybusa and gameness BJJ kimono size A3, and I wash and dry mine, they are both still competition legal.

I buy these from my son, since he was 7 years old (now he is 10), so we went thru 000, 00, and now are on 0 size. I would estimate shrinkage at about 10% for the top and slightly less for the pants, for sizes 000-0, you may see couple points more on the larger size. I hope that helps.R

The Full/Queen size should be just right, I have the King with oversize (King) mattress set and I love it! It is a bit short on the sides though so defiantly go a little larger. It washes and drys just great in my washer and dryer, great quality.

Probably would fit alright due to the fact I am really stretching it at 17 inches. Also shrinks some after drying. Hope this helps. It's a wonderful cover.

Don't know about size for this boy but I think sizes run small. Also, whatever you order recommend line drying, not in a dryer.

I had no shrinkage. I purchased an oversized queen duvet at bed bath and beyond. It w works great. Hope this helps. I do solo love the colors in this set.

I'm a 7 1/2" across the knuckles. Will these shrink after washing and air drying? May I ask your opinion regarding a suitable size? Thank you.

well this is Linda and I am 5'5 and weigh 120lbs and wear a size x small in tops and size 2 in most jeans in womens and I bought a large and it fits perfect. I was afraid it would be too big but it runs small. So with your size I would think and xsmall who fit good. I have 5 inches on you and 17 more lbs so I think you might want to try a small. The large looks like a small to me. I was surprised when I saw how small it looked. I might be confusing you but I would think xsmall would work but if you wash it as I did and I put it in the dryer by mistake it shrunk. so go with the small and if it is too big wash and dry it. well this is Linda and I am 5'5 and weigh 120lbs and wear a size x small in tops and size 2 in most jeans in womens and I bought a large and it fits perfect.

We use it as the bathing suit bottom along with a rash guard swim shirt. It goes into the washer with other swim stuff (cold water, very little detergent). I put ours into the dryer and they're fine. Haven't noticed any shrinkage.

I am 6 feet tall and about 170 pounds and I got a large so I'd go small and remember they are meant to be a little loose but all the tightening straps will fix that and if it's still to big then I'd dry it just a little

I measured mine twice now and it came to 71" both times. I have not washed or dried it since purchasing.

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.

Brian G., I would definitely follow the size chart but if you're in between sizes, or unsure, just go with the bigger size. You can always shrink it to your customized size. To shrink your Gi, in the dryer, do it in 4-5 minute increments and try it on as you go. Once you get the final fit, air dry it. Personally,this is the only time I use a dryer for my Gis as I just hang them and let them air dry. Good luck!

There should be a size chart to give you a rough idea. I've been using mine for a couple of years now and haven't had any problem with shrinkage or fading. Amazon's return process is very easy if you find you need to exchange it for a different size.

The cover is actually not pre shrunk, but as long as you use cold water and low heat dryer then it won't shrink. It also over cut as its 92 inches long not 90 so in case it shrink.

I washed it in my washer at home and dryed it just fine with no problems. If you have a large capacity washer and dryer you should be fine, just dry it on a low tempurature.

Mine didn't shrink when I washed and dried it. We really like ours....enough that I ordered another one for a guest bedroom.

Absolutely! I washed mine in my washer & dryer no problem and its only a standard size. It will take a little longer in the dryer. I had to take it out and rearrange it a few times. Threw it in with a few gain dryer sheets... It dried nicely and was nice & puffy.
