I wear this hate about five times a week for kayaking, outrigger canoeing, and hiking in Hawaii. I have never put it in the machine but I hand wash it all the time. It still looks good and has not shrunk, with hand washing.Betsy

YES, my wife can't wear hers and I can't wear mine. we need to return them and get new, better, different ones from Outdoor Research.

I've hand-washed my hat in cold water and put it outside to dry. I did not notice any shrinkage, but I do not know how it would do if washed in a washing machine.

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.

The company says yes. I washed it once in the washing machine and it warped a little--doesn't lay totally flat any more.

Yes I have washed it several times and it washes and dries well in the dryer. This is mostly due to the fact that it is very thin - more of a summer blanket than a winter one. I had to use a second comforter to deal with the colder weather this winter.

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 didn't notice any shrinking. If it does it is very minimal. The twin size is very generous, which I like.

Yes. Completely machine washable. Also able to put in the dryer but on LOW heat. It will take awhile to dry but any higher than low it will shrink. Hope this helps :)

I have always dry cleaned it. Not sure, but it might shrink if laundered. Hope this helps.

I don't believe so...I bought it for my grandson and I'm pretty sure there was no shrinkage.

Yes. Washes and dries very well. I dried it on medium heat. There was no shrinkage or loss of shape. It was actually nicer after being laundered.

I washed and air dried it a couple times before giving it to my son and it didn't. I don't know if washing it was the reason or just because. I hope that helps you.

No they don't shrink. I love the towels very much but be careful in getting stains on it. Hard to get them out.Love the size and great for drying time.

Yes and it washes well and does not shrink. I love this quilt so much wish my husband would let me put it on our bed too!!!

It does shrink, but you want to put it in the dryer AFTER you sew. This way the dryer heat will melt the little holes made by your sewing needle back together. I love this fabric. I have used it for homemade pullups. It is quite water proof. If my kid ever has a leak is around the leg holes or up the top. Never through the fabric. Those pullups have been abused, washed, dried and are still doing great.

I have washed and dried mine several times. Have had no issues with fading or shrinking.

It shrinks if you machine wash. Don't wash it. Get a duvet cover and wash the cover. I found this out the hard way. I would tell you more but I made the mistake of washing one that belonged to a relative and she still hasn't gotten over it. DO NOT WASH.

It is not pre-washed but when I washed and dried it I did not notice shrinking. You have to wash it when you get it to get all the starch out.
