Shrinking a Todd's Shirt

[Trigger]

What's up

I have a larger Todd's shirt that could fit a little better if it would shrink a little. Has anyone here been successfull shrinking a Todd's shirt by washing and drying? And if so was there any bad side effects.

Thanks

What size do you have? Let's cover the most obvious things first. Have you tried throwing it in the washer and using the hot water setting with the hot setting on the dryer? Beyond that would be going down a size.

If you want to shrink it a little bit but not a full size, wash it in cold then throw it in the dryer. That's what I've done to all three of mine. They were slightly too big, but I wanted to allow for shrinkage and now they are perfect. Less heat, less shrinkage. I haven't experienced any 'bad side effects' Don't be scared

Oddly enough, the only thing that shrunk the most on mine was the sleeve length. It didn't fit any tighter and it wasn't shorter in the body, only the sleeves. My best advice is to have someone who can sew, to take it in a little.
