Every gi I've owned in the last 30 years has been preshrunk and didn't shrink at all in the wash.

My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"

If you want to shrink a Shureido do-gi, wash it in hot water (as hot as your washer allows) and repeat 2-3 times. Japanese cotton shrinks a bit. Do not use the tumble dryer, it only causes unnecessary wear to the fabric (one tumble drying session will wear you do-gi for the worth of months of training wear).

 

Keep your Shureido well and it'll last years of hard training.

Wash hot and dry hot......

A punch should stay like a treasure in the sleeve. It should not be used indiscrimately.
