Most Gi's I've had in the past would shrink quite a bit. How does this one hold up? Should I buy a little big knowing it will shrink down?

Having washed mine now several times, I'd recommend going larger if you are between sizes, as they do seem to shrink, just a little bit.

I'm 6'1/185 Ibs. and I chose to get a size 6 in the unbleached. After washing and use, it has become more comfortable and it fits correctly. I would reccomend a size 5 for you, just remember to wash in cold water and always hang dry your gi. Good luck

It fits true to size and if it does shrink, it is very minimal. I throw it in the dryer and it also gets softer the more you wash it. It's a great shirt you will love it!

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.

I bought an extra large for my Boxer. It fit him well, before I washed it, now it stretches out after being worn for a little while. So, be careful when you wash it I guess.

I washed it in cold water and dried it on the medium heat setting, and it shrunk a little. I am not sure how much it shrunk.. maybe an inch? It seems to stretch back out a bit - like jeans that shrink, but stretch out again after you wear them.

Yes, they most definitely shrink. I actually reached out to the company asking if there was a better way to wash and dry them to prevent the excessive shrinkage but they never responded. I was highly disappointed in that but the product it self is perfect for a male dog. The best I have tried. I did have to order two more belts for this reason and when I got them they seemed to shrink a little less but I hand washed them this time first and laid out on a towel to dry flat. I am not sure if they did some tweaking to the material but it seemed it shrunk a little less and the dye was not so pronounced with washing. My suggestion would be give yourself about 1 to 1 1/2" extra inches for shrinkage and wash first. It is a shame when you find a good product and you can not get the company to provide good customer support. You just have to take in to account for shrinkage and the color bleeding. The denim bleeds a good bit so do not put it with anything you do not want colored blueish on the first wash.

Hi your son would need a size 2. Gi.,it does not shrink much. If you want to put his gi in a dryer then you can get a size 2. Most people air dry the gi and very rarely ever put it in a dryer. I would recommend a size 2. Any further questions feel free two contact me at jeffmbx@yahoo.com or pitcrewmax@hotmail.com Jeff

Use the size chart provided, but mine did not shrink that much. I use a hybusa and gameness BJJ kimono size A3, and I wash and dry mine, they are both still competition legal.

After washing and drying, I didn't notice any shrinking at all. The mattress I have it on is a full size with a mattress topper and it fits great! I was thinking about buying a queen for the full but that would have been far too much fabric!

I only washed it once, on warm. Then I put it in the dryer just long enough to get the water off and wrinkles out. I did not notice any shrinkage. It hangs up beautifully.

I have had the set for over 2 years and haven't noticed any shrinking. I love it..The only issue is that the pillow cases are made for single not queen pillow sizes.

I wish I knew how to shrink mine. I've tried hot water but nothing seems to work. That's certainly a sign of a quality made garment when it can hold up to hot water and the dryer. I'll begin purchasing a smaller size in the future.

It does shrink, but you want to put it in the dryer AFTER you sew. This way the dryer heat will melt the little holes made by your sewing needle back together. I love this fabric. I have used it for homemade pullups. It is quite water proof. If my kid ever has a leak is around the leg holes or up the top. Never through the fabric. Those pullups have been abused, washed, dried and are still doing great.

the sizes run a little small, its pretty good fabric i dont think its cotton but im not sure.it does have a little stretch to it which helps. Ive washed it a couple of times already it didnt really shrink. I got my dog a medium she weighs 15lbs so on the back part where its stretchy fits her a little short but over all it was well worth it.
