I think a lot of things use pre-shrunk fabric these days. I've got t-shirts that haven't shrunk, and t-shirts that have. Unfortunately a lot of band shirts bought at concerts fall into the latter :(.
- philipallstar 9mo agoI tend to find that older (10+ years) t-shirts shrink a lot. Even if I don't wash them.
- taeric 9mo agoI literally have a t-shirt from 1997 that doesn't shrink in our machines. :D

- taeric 9mo agoI was just offering the amusing anecdote that I have a 30 year old shirt that doesn't shrink. I used to treat it with kids gloves to keep it from doing so. Note that I fully understand it for the anecdotal weight that it has. That is, basically none. Is fun for conversation, but isn't intended to prove anything.
- hobo_in_library 9mo agoIt's weird, I never had that problem yet suddenly my old clothes started shrinking a couple years ago too. Might have been our new hangers.
- vayup 9mo agoSame happens to me, but I don't think it's the T-shirts that are shrinking.
- taeric 9mo agoEven cheap band t-shirts don't shrink in our dryer. I have sweaters that I am confident would have shrunk in the past, but do just fine here. On that last, I almost forgot I had direct evidence. We visited a place that shrank some of our clothes that we had washed many times back home.
