Oh damn, I accidentally machine dried this on high after a cold wash. I normally hang dry pretty much all of my shirts, so I definitely didn’t mean to do that. Tried it on afterward and it’s just a little tight. I can feel it across my back and the chest is puckering a bit. Although a lot of my shirts do this, especially the heavier ones before I iron even when hung dry.
I’m cold soaking it now, then I’m going to reshape it, hang dry it, and iron it. I’m hoping some of that tightness and puckering relaxes back out. If that doesn’t do it, I may try the shampoo trick.

A cold soak, flat drying on a towel, and a steam iron seem to have done the trick. It’s still slightly tight through the back, but very minimal, so I think it’ll be just fine. This will probably just be one of those shirts I don’t wash very often unless it actually gets some stains on it or starts to smell. I’m sure it’ll stretch out a little more with wear too. Really surprised that with the linen blend it didn’t shrink tremendously, so I’m super happy I didn’t ruin it.
