Does the gi shrink when washed

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.

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 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.

I washed it in cold water and dried it on the medium heat setting, and it shrunk a little. I am not sure how much it shrunk.. maybe an inch? It seems to stretch back out a bit - like jeans that shrink, but stretch out again after you wear them.

NO. This Judo Gi is really good. and it is perfect for beginner Georgian Judokas. :)

Maybe just a bit. Do not put it in the dryer or you'll have a gi for a GI Joe.

Yes, in fact I just recently washed it as my dog had thrown up on it. I washed it in the washing machine then laid it out to dry until mostly dry then put it in the dryer for a short time. All was well.

Yes, but i would wash it when you receive it cause it fluffs it up more making it very comfortable. I think it's well worth the money spent. I wash mine about once a month to get that extra softness.

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

Yes, the one I received the cover is removable and does not shrink or become misshapen when I wash it.

not at all - no shrinkagehowever I do not leave them in the dryer for FULL CYCLE - I take them out after about 10-15 minutes and usually just damp and they dry quickly on their own. very good product just bought 2 more

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!

It did not shrink. Its rich ecru color was unchanged. Put it on the bed right out the dryer, no wrinkles!

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

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

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.

Yes, but do not put it in your dryer - hang dry it. Wash it on cold only. If you wash it on hot or put it in your dryer, it will shrink - by at least 5 inches.To tall people at 6ft or over, that is very annoying as they can no longer fit in it in the head room in cold weather.

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

No, this shirt does not shrink when laundered. I wish I would have bought a couple more of these shirts, they keep me warm, I cant wait to use them in the woods for deer hunting.

I have washed and dried mine twice. It did shrink some the first time, I only partially dried it and then finished with line drying. It may shrink more if you completely machine dry. Note that it is longer than wide so striped run wide way. I LOVE this spread personally.

I washed it in a cold, cold setting and did not put it in the dryer and no shrinkage. :)

Absolutely! I washed mine in my washer & dryer no problem and its only a standard size. It will take a little longer in the dryer. I had to take it out and rearrange it a few times. Threw it in with a few gain dryer sheets... It dried nicely and was nice & puffy.
