  • shirt size after shrinking?

    i would like to buy a few of the stanceworks shirts, but im worried about shrinkage.

    the sizing chart they show has the perfect size for one of them, but that is after shrinking. i usually stretch my shirts when wet to try and prevent the shrink effect. any input is helpful.

    im about 5,11 130 lbs so a small is usually the right size, and mediums are usually too wide. any guys my size that can chime in on how the mediums feel? or the small? how much did they shrink?

      I'm the one who handles all of the StanceWorks shirts so I have a fair bit of experience with them.

      Despite being pre-shrunk and being careful with washing/drying, they still tend to shrink a bit after the very first wash. I have never tried the stretch method that you've mentioned. I wish I had an actual measurement, but it depends on the shirt and fabric. This latest round of shirts (Spring 2015) has shown less shrinkage than past seasons, but they do still shrink a bit.

      Now, our shirts are longer in the torso than usual shirts so they are much less "blocky" or wide than the shirts you generally encounter.

      I have a friend who is around your height and just a slight bit heavier and he generally wears a Small in our shirts. A Medium fits him as well, but it's a "baggier" look. I'm 5'11.5", but quite a bit heavier than you (175) and I wear Mediums for a slim fit.

      If you like a slimmer fit, I'd probably stick with the Small size, personally. I'll let others chime in, but that's my experience with the tees.
