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

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.

there was a sizing chart when I got my suit. It runs smaller than usual. I wear a size 2 or 4 and I ordered a med. and it fit good. I wash it but do not dry in dryer

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.

Probably best to go with a 6. If it's big at first it's perfect on the count that to gi shrinks a good deal after being washed.

After laundering and drying in dryer it measures 24" from shoulder to hem and 36" across chest. May have shrunk some but not a whole size. It is not a stretchy fabric. If you like a snugger fit I would be more inclined to go with the smaller size. Even before I purchased from Amazon, Minus 33 responded that their products are true to size. Medium is sizes 8-10 and large 12-14 according to their size chart. You will love this top. It is so warm and so worth the investment! I need to re-order while still in stock. Hope this was helpful.

I have the biggest size (bedcover) and I took mine to the laundromat and used their largest washer and dryer. I think it would be too much for a regular sized washer just because of the size.

Hi Rui! We have a King and a queen size, both are true to size for thick or pillow top mattresses. I recommend, returning it to get the right fit so it will not gather under your sheets and create discomfort. We do not place the cover in the dryer and only hang dry to keep both in good condition. This is based on our experience with another expensive brand that did not last (Seally). I hope this helps!

I have not had an issue with shrinking at all. I do wash the belts by hand. I have a toy poodle that weighed 12 pounds and I had bought him a medium last year. He has lost a little weight since then (18 years old) and body configuration and I had to order him this year the small one because the medium was just to big. He is about 14 inches at the withers in other words tall and skinny as a rail. As I said shrinkage has not been an issue by air drying and hand washing. Hope this helps you.

118 x 120 is right. I washed and it did not shrink. I love it! However it is only about 1/2 to 1/3 of an inch thick

I have an 11" mattress and got the 9"-12" size and there seems to be plenty of room so I would say stick with the smaller size. I have also washed the cover 3 times and there has not been any shrinking. Its a great cover!

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.

If this is too large, I would put an extra sheet or mattress pad under it versus trying to shrink it. With time it may shrink to your liking however I wouldn't try to shrink it with lots of heat. Any mild or organic detergent would be safe to use.

I have a fairly large washer and dryer and it turned out wonderful!!! Perhaps if you don't have a large enough washer and dryer you could take it to the Laundromat to was and dry.

78"X64". I have not used or washed mine yet, so I do not know if it will shrink.

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.

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