Mr Heel Hook Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I have a problem. My gi is too big. What can I do to shrink it? I stand at 5 foot 9 but dont weigh 170 like the size suggest. Now, the size thats for my build (150ish) is about 2 inches too short. Its just to bulky on me. And actualy a bit to long come to think of it. I don't know how since I am the height it suggest I buy for. Any help at all would be nice!!! "A deer admires a lion. But all the members of our family are lions.

SaiFightsMS Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 No way to unshrink. But a hot dryer will shrink a cotton gi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickChick Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Give it to me!!! .... my kids purposely buy their clothes a size or two too big, .... because I am well-known for my ability to shrink just about anything in the wash! ... now shrinking that gi depends on whether it is 100 percent cotton or not. But yes, lots of dryer action. Just keep putting it in until it fits rather than leaving it in on high while dry.... you may catch it on fire!!!

CheekyMusician Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 When I first got my gi it shrunk in the wash....twice! Yeah, washing and drying it will cause it to shrink. My belt also shrunk when I washed it. It shrunk so much I could hardly tie a knot in it anymore! Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.

Kirves Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 My belt also shrunk when I washed it. It shrunk so much I could hardly tie a knot in it anymore! Traditionally, the belt isn't supposed to be washed. Even if it gets stains from training, like blood, it's not supposed to be washed. I don't know anyone who washes the belt.
