I tend to find that older (10+ years) t-shirts shrink a lot. Even if I don't wash them.

  I literally have a t-shirt from 1997 that doesn't shrink in our machines. :D

      I 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.

        Earlier commenter was talking about getting fatter as they age. Not actual cloths shrinkage.

          Ha! Ok, yeah, I definitely missed that aspect of the joke. :D

              I can only wish I was that comically gifted. :D

          That’s not who they were replying to.

  It'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.

  Same happens to me, but I don't think it's the T-shirts that are shrinking.
