I just bought this shirt off the discount rack; its beautiful but its a loose fit. Its 100% cotton. How do I shrink it intentionally?
Wash it in warm water, and then dry it on medium or high heat. When the dryer cycle is done dry it again. If this doesn't shrink it enough wash it in warm or hot water again, and repeat the drying until it's the desired size.

See i bought this awesome new volcom t shirt size xl thinking it would shrink down to a large like most my other shirts, problem is its waaaaaay to long and i dont know if it will shrink enough. I like my shirts to be a bit tighter and was hoping it would fit more to size, but im afraid if i wash it and it stays to big the store wont take it back. So what do you guys think?
Your shirt will shrink, but not in the right direction for you. Find a local seamtress to reduce the length of your shirt. (take 2 or 3 inches off) shouldn't cost more than maybe 5 bucks.

How do i shrink my hoodie without ruining it?
My swim team just got some really nice hoodies. but they turned out to be way oversized so mine is huge! i want to shrink it by washing/drying it in hot but they have writing on them.. like you know plasticy material that sticks to it? do you think it would get ruined? they were really expensive so i dont want to ruin it but i do want it to fit better. thanks!
There is only one way you can shrink your hoodie is to have it altered (sewing). If you do not sew, maybe you know someone who does. If not, many dry cleaners also do alterations.
If you try to shrink the hoodie by washing it in hot water and then drying the heck out of it, you might ruin it…and it won’t even shrink much. Plus, any shrinking that does occur will be temporary. The hoodie will stretch right back to it’s original size within minutes once you wear it.
