hang it up like said on the first page

.. the only way to dry stuff that will shrink in the dryer, 100 cotton stuff and most jackets

wash your jeans inside out and hang dry to keep their color

anything with graphics, dont dry or else the shirt will shrink and the graphic wont

same thing with jackets and pants with zippers, the zipper wont shrink and gets all wavey

pm if you need more help haha

cant be done. I shrunk my wifes wool coat, had to buy a new one. Even went to a dry cleaner and they said no go.
She doesnt ask me to do laundry anymore either.

sounds like a good game plan //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

dont wash in hot water and dry on low heat or hang it up. I have stretched out some shirts that have shrunk

Okie dokie.

I guess the jacket is a lost cause.

Im tall and skinny, so anything a lil large or a lil small looks retarded on me.

Ive been going my own laundry since I was 10. The girly remark was meant to get your attention. And i see it worked. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I hang some of my shirts that absolutely cannot shrink.

So I guess cold water and hang dry is the only real solution?

Its weird. I put my jeans in the dryer. They usually shrink a lil bit, but then they loosen up after I wear them for a bit. Wish the same could be said with my stupid jacket. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

what kind of jacket

Some cheapo hoody that I got at mervyns before they went under. I really liked it until I first tried washing and drying it.

80% cotton and 20% polyester.

i actually successfully stretched out some shrunken sweaters that my jack *** self put in the dryer:crap:

believe it or not i got them soaking wet then stretched them while they were wet then hung them to dry and it worked //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

i had a hoodie fro american eagle that did the same shit it was *** tight. i wore it around the house for 2 weeks and it was back to strecthed out. also try puting your arms in it and snap them outward a couple times for some width. it will help it along.

wew i bet you shrunk that hoe. Chalk it up as lesson learned. I wash all my clothes in cold water and dry on low heat. Sometimes they still shrink but just a lil so you can stretch them. I also buy clothes 2 sizes too big cause i know they will shrink.

I wash and dry everything I own, I throw everything in the same washer, then throw it all in the same dryer, nothing ever shrinks?
