IHTL-1501-OLV - 11oz Cotton Knit Long Sleeved Crew Neck Sweater - Olive

This sweater always makes me chuckle. It looks like a sweater, but it stretches like denim
Whenever I try to take it off, it usually involves me trying to remove it like a regular sweater, giggling at how horribly it went, then trying 2-3 more times before it actually comes off.
The material is an enigma!

Word! Something this soft and comfortable and so damn cotton-y shouldn’t also be this heavy and…. ?
I can’t find the words to describe it. It isn’t stiff or rigid, or even inflexible, they all imply discomfort, and they aren’t uncomfortable. An enigma indeed.

Do you guys throw theses in the dryer? I have two I recently picked up and will need to wash shortly.

I followed neph's advice and gave this and the cream version a warm wash and tumble dry to get some shrinkage. Pretty happy with the results!

But that depends on whether you want shrinkage. If you're happy with the current size and don't want it to budge, I would do a cold, gentle wash and line-dry.

I have washed and dried mine several times (black version in both short and long sleeve). The dryer didn't shrink them in any discernible way, but if I were to do it over again I would either hang dry or toss them in the dryer for about 10-15 minutes to get them started, and then hang dry for the rest.
What I'm seeing most is the collar starting to show some wear and slight discoloration and I think the harsher dryer cycle is causing some of it.

Thanks guys!
Unlike my waffles I will prob hang dry just for the heck of it…. I could get some shrinkage and that’s fine, but I wanna limit excess wear.
This stuff is epic[emoji41]
