Clothes Question

Last night I wore a long sleeve with a t shirt over the top of it (the layered look) and now the collar on the t shirt is a bit stretched from having been worn over the long sleeve.

So my question is how can I fix this? I looked around online and gathered that I can simply wash and dry it normally and this will fix it or I can use a hair dryer(?) to help shrink the collar. So what would be the best way?

Normal wash and dry or normal wash and hang dry or hair dryer or......

    Has it been washed at dried before?

    If you aren't worried about it shrinking, my vote is run it through the dryer after washing it with at least medium heat!

    Hope that doesn't F it up ;)

    okay...

    unless you're a big round person, and the shirts fit really really really tight...esp the T over the long sleeve, your T will be fine after a regular wash and dry.

    If you like the layered look, the long sleeve should be a tad snug, and the T should be a tad bigger than the long sleeve so it doesn't stretch too much.

    think of wearing tighty whiteys over your jeans...it just doesn't work...

    The real question is, how do you keep collars on polo shirts from getting all F'd up after a wash and dry?

    Pop the collar, D-man.

    But, not everyone has what it takes:
