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.

It does not shrink. When it is washed it lays flat. Not sure the fabric is . It is soft and lays nice on the bed. Fits really nice. Tis is a great value! I have 2.

It doesn't shrink, the fabric is kind of plastic. I've washed it 2 times and it has the same size.

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.

It did not shrink. Its rich ecru color was unchanged. Put it on the bed right out the dryer, no wrinkles!

no, mine did not shrink in the dryer. hope this helps. I do suggest to wash them in warm water , not hot water.

I put it in the washer on cold and the perm press cycle. It did not shrink. But it recommends drying it on the air only setting, but that doesn't really dry it. So I hung it up and turned it inside out after half a day.

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

Before or after you wash it and it shrinks up where you can't use it? haha I returned mine

Yes, it does. The cover fits beautifully and I washed it before using it for the first time and it did not shrink.

Have only washed a few times and no shrinking noticed. Washes fine as far as I could tell. The towel is nearly perfect. Just get the right size and you'll be fine.

I would assume they do shrink but I always wash them in cold water and Woolite and have had no problems. I am amazed just how warm these underwear were.

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

Yes. It washed nicely. I only tumbled dry to get wrinkles out, then air dried. Did not shrink. I used cold water. It had a smell when we took the it out of the packaging.

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

I have washed it twice. No shrinkage...BUT...I used cold water and low temp setting on dryer. Just so you know!
