Depends on the fabric that you are trying to shrink.\n\nCotton: \n\nHot Water. I remember back in the '80s when I was in Middle School of stories of girls buying jeans and then wearing them in bathtubs of hot water for them to shrink around their body... I also know that I've thrown away a lot of t-shirts because they have shrunk.\n\nYou will notice that a lot of cotton garments now say pre-shrunk. That simply means they have been pre-washed.\n\nWool:\n\nAny type of water will shrink wool and the reason why wool products are dry-clean only.\n\nPolyester/Nylon/Microfiber/etc.\n\nThese are man-made fibers that are essentially plastic. They will not shrink, in fact hot water or hot air from a dryer can make them essentially melt which gives that 1960's glimmer or sheen to them. It is advised when flying on an airplane to wear cotton and not poly in case of emergency.\n\nSilk:\n\nSilk is a natural fiber but is weakened by water and eventually will desinegragte and again is another fibre that is dry-clean only.

Look here:\n\n"Identifying the type of Knit.\n\nIf you can't tell the difference, don't feel bad -- many clerks in fabric stores cant' tell the difference either!  The best way to familiarize yourself is to look in your closet.  An expensive knit top ($20 or more) will probably be interlock, everyday tees will probably be jersey, and girls leggings or mens/boys fitted briefs will be rib knit.\n\nThe face looks more or less the same on all 3 fabrics -- they all have have small vertical ribs.  Go to the back of the fabric and and gently pull the across the stretch.  Interlock will look more or less the same on the face and back,  jersey has a wavy perl pattern that runs perpendicular to the face rib.   If you're still not sure, cut a piece from selvedge to selvedge, if it's jersey the cut edge will curl on itself, interlock and rib will lay flat."\n\nI got this info at www.wazoodle.com

There appear to be several materials present in Arctic grade clothing.\n\nMy experience has been with outer garments made by Carhartts, and I can attest that they will keep you alive, although not particulatly comfortable at minus 50 degrees f.\n\nI have used their products over the past 15 years at Prudhoe Bay, on Alaskas "North Slope"\n\nThe particular parka I use features a layer of  "Gortex" next to the nylon outer layer. I've found this useful for staying dry, as moisture vapor can penetrate, but liquid water can't.\n\nCarharrts website is listed below.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nOuzinki

But... did the homeless people even have a sweater?\n\nAnd who cares what they think??\n\nWait... was it that orange-brown sweater with puke-green circles all over it?\n\nI suggest you throw that out like i've been suggesting for the past 390473209473029 years man.\n\nNo, that's NOT in style.\n\nOh... you're talking about the sweater you have on right now. \nHmm... i suggest you leave it on.\nIt suits you and your... antique-like appearance :P

They're collectively called the Cosby sweaters.  You can find more information at this website.\n\nHis sweaters were great though - a real classic.  No one would be caught dead in them anymore....

First layer should be polypropylene then the next layer should be wool the polypropylene will repel water away from your feet the wool will act like an insulator

are you looking for preprinted with logo, or just plain colors? my joann's has plain colors of fleece, but if yours doesn't, you could check hobby lobby, hancock fabrics, wal-mart, or any other fabric stores in your area.
