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

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 dry at normal temperature (in my weekly loads of baby clothes) and never had shrinking issues. I think the waterproof backing on it keeps it from shrinking. We have two and they have lasted over a year for us so far with normal washing!!

We recommend washing in warm or hot water and drying in low heat. If these care instructions are followed, the towels usually shrink up to 1-2 inches (to anywhere between 13" x 23" to 14" x 24"). These towels are 100% cotton and they are expected to shrink a little. As they shrink a little after a few washes the threads should become more tightly woven, resulting in a more absorbent lint-free towel. If you dry the towels in high heat, you should expect a little more shrinking (up to 3"), to about 13" in width by 21"-22" in length. Some of our customers like to keep their towels in the best shape and dry them in low heat, while some customers like the convenience of drying all linens together in high heat and don't mind the additional shrinking. I hope this helps. Lisa Liliane Collection

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.

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

After washing and drying, I didn't notice any shrinking at all. The mattress I have it on is a full size with a mattress topper and it fits great! I was thinking about buying a queen for the full but that would have been far too much fabric!

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.

I washed the coverlet and did not dry, and it didn't shrink. Air drying is recommended on this type of material.

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.

19 and 5/8 inches by 25 inches. It's not been washd yet. I assume there would be some shrinkage once I've washed it.

Yes you can wash it and dry it in a dryer. It fits an old fashioned mattress but not the newer super deep ones. It is not great but it fits tightly and wears well.

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

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.

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'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.

Looked at the hat, see it's a L/XL, like I said, I have a 24" head, (7.5"), and the L/XL I got was a tad big but shrunk up with hot water and the dryer. Not sure what to recommend for you....
