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

The cover is actually not pre shrunk, but as long as you use cold water and low heat dryer then it won't shrink. It also over cut as its 92 inches long not 90 so in case it shrink.

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....

Mine is far too big for my washer and dryer. I think you could hand wash in a bathtub if you needed to, or find a cleaner recommended by an organic bedding retailer.

I washed mine as soon as I got it in cold water seperately in case it bled and then threw it in the dryer and did not exsperince any shrinking. Hope this helps

Hey Scott, indeed this can be washed. It's 100% cotton yet was prewashed for shrinkage so it should not shrink much if at all. I would take it to a nearby dry cleaners who will have x-large capacity machines & you can ask them to wash it on the gentle cycle & spot clean if necessary. You can also ask them to dry it on low heat to control for shrinkage. I would Not take it to a laundromat -- take it to a professional dry cleaners. :) Have a great day!

The Full/Queen size should be just right, I have the King with oversize (King) mattress set and I love it! It is a bit short on the sides though so defiantly go a little larger. It washes and drys just great in my washer and dryer, great quality.

Don't get this one, the fit is not very good. Try Fuji, the size chart will be accurate and they are around $90. I've had a Fuji Gi for 3 years now and its holding up well, no shrinkage. As with all Gi's wash in cold water and hang to dry...no machine. I'm 5'-7" and an A2 fits me well.

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 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!!

The sheet fits perfectly but, after a few washes, it does shrink a bit. I'd recommend drying it on very low, or no, heat. Hope this helps!

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.

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.

The measurements are exact. I purchased a King for the top but also purchased two twin quilts to cover the bottom box spring. AND it will shrink if you put it in the dryer....not much, but it will shrink an inch or two.

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.

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

This kind runs tall and skinny, but I am a much larger girl. It did not shrink as bad as the heavy ones do. I would still never put it in the dryer, just hang dry.
