Shrinking Clothes

[Bo Hart]

Anecdotal experiences from someone who had ordered from MLB.com in the past was definitely something I was hoping for...

Saying it's from MLB.com doesn't help much. What brand the shirt is...Nike, Majestic, etc. might help. Either way, 80/20 cotton is probably even more common than 60/40. I'd say if it fits you good right now you should go with that. I pretty much always use cold water when washing unless it is a load of whites or towels and never have any problems. If it's a non-neutral color or you are just overly worried then wash it by itself. Air drying is a little over the top for a sweatshirt. I'd dry it on a lower setting so when you take it out it's 80% dry and hang it up immediately.

I didn't realize the team shop carried a bunch of different brands. The shirts I've bought in the past have all been from Majestic.

Kyle, wash the sweatshirt in cold water and DO NOT put it in the dryer. You should be fine. If you're lazy and want to use the dryer, exchange it for a larger size. But you should know, dryer heat will fade fabric more than air drying.

I washed my sweatshirt the other day on cold, and then put it on low in the dryer for a bit - didn't shrink at all.

You said you have the blue one, right?

[ThatGuy]

Yup, that's the one.
