    • RE: Shrinkage - What is it?

      Hi Guys,
      im going to resurrect this topic, or put it to sleep. i work for an industrial laundry machine supplier and some of our machines produce 120kg of washed linen every 2 minutes. we spend huge amounts of money proving to large hotel chains that its not our fault their sheets or towels have shrunk. we regularly ship sample packages to our lab in the Netherlands to be test. and then people dont like being told that the 1 million euro worth of sheets they just bought will shrink unevenly or by huge amounts. we sometimes get garments to test and my friend there states in his opinion some denim is the worst for quality and for ripping people off, for example one manufacturer in particular beginning with D the denim is bought extremly cheaply and the cost of one pair to produce can be under 3 euro, they then sell for up to 250 euro!! the shrinkage in these is abnormal.
      all items shrink at different rates even from the same roll of material. what im getting to is ….IHUK i think do an awesome job of informing on size and shrinkage, and the jeans are top quality  🙂
