How do you shrink clothes in the dryer?

[boyRacer]

Wash it... put it on max heat and then just leave it?

yeah, the heat will usually make 100% cotton garments shrink.

Yup.

That's why I hang up my clothes to dry them.

The problem is things don't always shrink evenly, a shirt could get really narrow but stay long, or pants short but still wide. I know, I've tried that trick before!

hot wash plus hot dry will do it

Yeah, I think washing it on the hottest setting has alot to do with it. Then you dry it on high.

Yup. I have t-shirts that shrink in length, but the width stays the same. Good shirts too like Guess and Nautica. The best would have to be Polo, they never shrink or stretch too much...
