Does the gi shrink when washed
42701
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.

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.

no it did not shrink, however I did take it to the laundrymat and used their dryer on a low setting, it took a long time to dry

Yes, they most definitely shrink. I actually reached out to the company asking if there was a better way to wash and dry them to prevent the excessive shrinkage but they never responded. I was highly disappointed in that but the product it self is perfect for a male dog. The best I have tried. I did have to order two more belts for this reason and when I got them they seemed to shrink a little less but I hand washed them this time first and laid out on a towel to dry flat. I am not sure if they did some tweaking to the material but it seemed it shrunk a little less and the dye was not so pronounced with washing. My suggestion would be give yourself about 1 to 1 1/2" extra inches for shrinkage and wash first. It is a shame when you find a good product and you can not get the company to provide good customer support. You just have to take in to account for shrinkage and the color bleeding. The denim bleeds a good bit so do not put it with anything you do not want colored blueish on the first wash.

Yes, As a matter of fact, I just washed it in my normal size washing machine and it came out great. I then threw a few tennis balls in the dryer to help keep the filling distributed evenly while drying it and it is just as fluffy as when I first opened it up in it's original packaging. I hope this helps.BTW my extra large dogs lay on it and love it as well! :>)

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.

Washes normally, and the packaging includes directions. It doesn't look like it could shrink. It is a little stretchy, which is great.

I have washed mine many times in residential and commercial machines and have had no problems with shrinking or bleeding. As a precaution I did wash it with only dark colors on the first wash.

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

It fits true to size and if it does shrink, it is very minimal. I throw it in the dryer and it also gets softer the more you wash it. It's a great shirt you will love it!

The 000 is your best choice. It may still be a little big, but the GI definitely shrinks when washed.

Yes, I've washed it a couple of times since I got it. It takes a little longer in the dryer to get dry but it washes very well

I only washed it once, on warm. Then I put it in the dryer just long enough to get the water off and wrinkles out. I did not notice any shrinkage. It hangs up beautifully.

Yes, but i would wash it when you receive it cause it fluffs it up more making it very comfortable. I think it's well worth the money spent. I wash mine about once a month to get that extra softness.

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.

No, this shirt does not shrink when laundered. I wish I would have bought a couple more of these shirts, they keep me warm, I cant wait to use them in the woods for deer hunting.

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.
