Shrinking a hoody - yet again

[phelen]

Hi

Sorry for another thread but you guys seem to know what you're talking about.

Anyway I scored a pullover hoody and its slightly too long and baggy, so I wanted to shrink it. However, would putting it in a hot wash and the hot dryer do the trick?

What I'm worried about it might ruin the graphic on the front, and alos what kind of temperature for the wash and how long and how hot for the tumble dry?.

Thanks

Stop buying hoodies that are too big for you.

worth a try I guess. I think it might not make it much slimmer but will probably shrink a bit length wise.

start with a warm wash and tumble dry. you can then try a hotter wash if needed but it gets pretty hot in the dryer anyways so might not change the result that much.

if its too baggy still then you can taper it.

Well the mediums were simply the smallest size they do. I could taper it but I wanted to know if I can shrink it first.

[herpsky]

you can totally bulk up so you can wear mediums.

have you thought about that...?

[mike lowrey]

try shrinking it first and then taper if needed.

If it shrinks - which it probably won't - it'll shrink by 1-2 cm. Don't buy clothes that are too big for you.

Yeah I should know better, all my clothes are small but I wanted this hoody bad.
