karatekaBR86 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 The shureido gi i purchased is a heavy weight...100% cotton. How should I dry it after i wash it to shrink it a bit? (it's 5/12 im 6 foot, and out of the bag it was enourmous...i take it will shrink?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorinryu Sensei Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Every gi I've owned in the last 30 years has been preshrunk and didn't shrink at all in the wash.

Jussi Häkkinen Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 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.
