100% cotton will shrink like a sheep in rain... or something like that.

Thats the reason I always buy blend dress shirts of poly and cotton.

Some hot water or a dryer trip will drive it a shrink.

yes yes, everyone is right.....
but you might wanna be careful washing it in hot water cause it might fade the color of the shirt a lot faster!!! :thumbsup:
