Most Gi's I've had in the past would shrink quite a bit. How does this one hold up? Should I buy a little big knowing it will shrink down?

Going with the slightly bigger gi will allow you to shrink it a bit. I wear an A3 and it's a bit big, tried an A2 and it was too small to roll in comfortably.

I have only had it in for about 6 months, but it is pretty rigid, not like the canned foam. I don't expect any shrinkage.

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.

Nope it doesn't shrink. good thing is that its fairly easy to dry considering its size

It is cotton, so there is some shrinkage, but it is commercially made, so not a lot

It will shrink considerably, how much is anyone's guess. I've never used a dryer on any of my gis.

That's 5 Feet and almost 8 inches and about 165lbs. I'm just a little bigger than that. I use an A2 but it's a little big for me. So you could probably go A1, depending on how much you think you might grow. My Gi is shrinking a little after 6 months of weekly use and washings, but it's still big for an A2.

Hi your son would need a size 2. Gi.,it does not shrink much. If you want to put his gi in a dryer then you can get a size 2. Most people air dry the gi and very rarely ever put it in a dryer. I would recommend a size 2. Any further questions feel free two contact me at jeffmbx@yahoo.com or pitcrewmax@hotmail.com Jeff

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.

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 sizes run a little small, its pretty good fabric i dont think its cotton but im not sure.it does have a little stretch to it which helps. Ive washed it a couple of times already it didnt really shrink. I got my dog a medium she weighs 15lbs so on the back part where its stretchy fits her a little short but over all it was well worth it.

It doesn't shrink, the fabric is kind of plastic. I've washed it 2 times and it has the same size.

This has held up nicely. No issues with shrinking. I wash normal cycle and dry with low heat setting on dryer and no issues.

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.

Holds up pretty well assumi9ng you dont over pack it, i have this one and the next size up as the mini is pretty small. Check the dimensions to make sure the sizing suits you as when it is overfilled the velcro works less well.

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