Cotton Shirt

do u always have to iron a 100% cotton shirt?

Only if it has a lot of wrinkles. They usually don't have too many if you put them in the dryer. It also depends on what you're going to be doing, and if you're wearing something over it like a hoodie, there's no point in spending the time ironing it.

I just recently ordered a 100% cotton shirt offline and i don't have the time or patience to return it for a larger size. How do I keep the shrinking of the t-shirt to a minimum?

Always wash it on the 'delicate' cycle in COLD water and let it 'hang dry' ... the heat in the water and the heat in the dryer can both 'cause shrinkage' in 100% cotton. But you need to 'check the label' to find out if you can tell if what you are getting is 'natural cotton' that will shrink or 'pre-shrunk' cotton, which can be washed in warm/hot water and dried in the dryer.

I KNOW that the dryer actually shrinks it, but how long should i wash a cotton shirt, that has never been washed before, in hot water? Its 90% cotton and 10% polyester
How long is one cycle?

One cycle then dry the **** out of it

So I bought this shirt (100% cotton) but I accidently bought it too big. Is there a way that I can shrink down more than just putting it in the dryer?

If the cotton isn't preshrunk (check inside on the washing
instructions), then you would want to wash it in warm water
and put it into the dryer. I would suggest hot water if it had to
shrink alot. We did that in highschool with some things. But
sometimes they shrank too much and would be like baby
clothes LOl. Often they will make something larger, knowing
it will naturally shrink a size smaller. And then hopefully you'll
have the closer fit,and not several sizes too small. I'd just
run it thru a warm cycle and hope for the best. Later you can
try the hot water and hope it doesn't shrink more than you
want. I don't think there are any guarantees, with cotton.

I have a 100% cotton flannel and it is a size M. I think it is too big so maybe if I put it in the dryer and set it on high repeatedly, will the shirt shrink a lot? maybe even to the same size as S? thanks!
Will the overall shirt shrink? does that shorten the sleeve by a lot?

There is a good chance that it will shrink to a size small if it has not already been dried and shrunk already. If it is a brand new shirt, you have good chances that it will be the size you will like after a few cycles.

Good luck.
