      These finally came out of the package.  The XL is just a bit bigger/looser than I would have expected. Maybe quarantine is wasting me away…
      has any one run these through a wash and dry and gotten a little bit of tightening up?
      Thanks!

        I’ve washed mine on a normal temp a number of times. No shrinkage to mention.  Higher temps may well get results though.

          In my experience, washing up to 40 degrees Celsius and hanging to dry will not change the size at all.

          However, a run through the dryer will shrink them in all dimensions, including the length. This I discovered by one of mine being thrown in the dryer by accident. There’s a reason why the washing instructions label has the dryer machine picture crossed-through. Not recommended, but if you want to shrink them, the machine dryer will shrink them.

          Personally, I would NOT wash them over 40 degrees Celsius… too difficult to say how much they would shrink if you did.

          If you do decide to dry them in the machine, go with very low heat first and take them out still damp to see if that gives the right amount of shrink...

                Thanks!! This is the kinda reply I was looking for.  I will try a low heat dry to see what happens. I have 2 XLs so it will be interesting to only wash and dry one of them. I'll keep you posted.

                    We're not sure of timings yet, but Haraki has just agreed to re-run the Olive and the Black.

                    And, we are also making White, Light Grey and Navy…..

                    @Giles any update on the other colour T’s?

                                  I missed the party when @Alex sold off his old 1610’s, but if anyone else would like to trade in their “too short” 1610 tees for these longer ones, I’m in the market for M-L.
