Most Gi's I've had in the past would shrink quite a bit. How does this one hold up? Should I buy a little big knowing it will shrink down?

I had no shrinkage. I purchased an oversized queen duvet at bed bath and beyond. It w works great. Hope this helps. I do solo love the colors in this set.

When purchasing anything that is cotton ALWAYS order larger....cotton will shrink every time you wash and dry it...does not matter if they claim it is preshrunk. At least this is a blend so it will not shrink as bad as 100% cotton items.

I haven't noticed any shrinkage. I really like this bedspread and am so glad I bought it.

I only washed it once, on warm. Then I put it in the dryer just long enough to get the water off and wrinkles out. I did not notice any shrinkage. It hangs up beautifully.

I have washed this several times. It shrinks very little and seem so stretch back out again as it hangs on the bed sides. I am very happy with it.

Mine didn't shrink when I washed and dried it. We really like ours....enough that I ordered another one for a guest bedroom.

In my experience, it hasn't shrunk at all. I usually line dry it, but it snuck into th dryer once or twice and was fine. Hope that helps!

No shrinkage at all. I am 6"1" and I love them--heavy, & long and they never pull out of your pants when you reach up for something. You will not be disappointed with them.

My gi is a 5/190 & fits me great. Sizes are based on height & weight, so be sure to check those 2 things in order to get the right size.

I washed and dryed it and it is still about the same size. I've been very happy with it.

Hey bigman, I would recommend a Fuji Gi, they are only a little more money than this Gi and will not shrink like this cheaper type after washing. You 'will' sweat a lot in this heavy weight Gi, especially in the summer, so I would try a light weight Gi if possible. The Fuji Gi sizes are much more accurate. This Gi was too big for me and then shrunk a lot after washing. Always wash any Gi in cold water only and hang dry...no machine dry. Look on the name brand Gi size charts for the right fit. I'm 5'-7" 155lbs and an A2 Fuji Gi is perfect for me. The tops of this type of Gi can be a bit long (more like a Judo Gi), so its worth spending around $90 for a Fuji or Venum, I've been much happier with those two brands. Cheaper generic Gi's don't fit well and shrink...big time. Good luck

I'm 6'1/185 Ibs. and I chose to get a size 6 in the unbleached. After washing and use, it has become more comfortable and it fits correctly. I would reccomend a size 5 for you, just remember to wash in cold water and always hang dry your gi. Good luck

Probably best to go with a 6. If it's big at first it's perfect in the country that to gi shrinks a good deal after being washed.

Hi your son would need a size 2. Gi.,it does not shrink much. If you want to put his gi in a dryer then you can get a size 2. Most people air dry the gi and very rarely ever put it in a dryer. I would recommend a size 2. Any further questions feel free two contact me at jeffmbx@yahoo.com or pitcrewmax@hotmail.com Jeff

Have only washed a few times and no shrinking noticed. Washes fine as far as I could tell. The towel is nearly perfect. Just get the right size and you'll be fine.
