Team Specific Organic Cotton Shirts - Shrinkage?

Has anybody here washed any of the city-specific team shirts? I'm just curious how much they shrink up. Mine fit well right now but I'm a little concerned they might tighten up in the wash - any input would be very appreciated...

    They shrink and they're horrible quality, you should just sell them to me!

  • I wouldn't put it in the dryer. I washed mine but did not dry it.

    Best option I think is Hand-watch and NO-dryer

  • I washed mine in cold water on "delicate" cycle, and then hung it up to dry. It didn't shrink at all.

    You just wore it wet?!
  • i put mine in the dryer and it shrank but it was a M that was too big for me in the first place so i dont mind, they are really long shirts.

    I have both of the Seattle ones and they are two different brands.

    Seattle 21 is "organic" and softer and has a light colored tag w/green lettering on the tag. I washed an XL which was a little big on me and it did shrink down about another 1/2 size. I made sure to look at the shirt tag at Salt Lake so I could judge the shrinkage of it too. It has the same tagging, but the shirt itself is white and the sizing is a bit smaller than the Seattle 21 grey. I played it safe and got an XL there too.

    Seattle 22 tags reads "heavyweight organic" and I havent washed it yet...

  • Are any of them Anvil Organic tees like most of the shirts in the good section? Not a huge fan of those.

    they are rock and roll concert tshirts for fuck sakes like seriously they are supposed to be faded and washed and look like they have been worn.
