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

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.

18"X22 1/2" after washing. I should mention that after washing it must be dryed flat or it will wrinkle.

Sounds like the medium will probably be a good fit for you then. I have medium and usually wear 31x32 depending on the style. It fits well with just a little room after several days wear. But has a form fit right out of the washer/dryer. I love em!

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

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.

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

The queen size shrunk by 4 inches when washed (cold water/ no dryer). So this coverlet shrinks quite a bit. The queen size after washing is 86x88 inches. If you want it as a blanket that is not problem, but if you want it to cover your pillows completely order one size up, or dry clean it.

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!!

It is very bulky so I brought ours to a laundromat and used the large capacity washer for $7.00 It worked fine and then dried it for $2.00 in their large dryer. It came out great!

All I can tell you is that it will shrink a full size and that's not using the dryer...

I washed and dryed it and it is still about the same size. I've been very happy with it.

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.

Go with a size 7. Wash cold water and hang dry see how it fits. It will shrink a lot if you wash in hot water and dry it.

I dried a full size one-no problem, haven't dried a queen, but love my dryer!!

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.

It will depend on how you like your gi to fit. I personally like mine a bit looser and I know others that like it snug. I personally haven't dryed mine for the fact of it shrinking as others say they shrink quite a bit. So I would either not dry it or buy an extra size bigger than you think...hope that helps!! Good luck
