I wore this shirt unwashed the first time and it was just how I liked it somewhat baggy and long. Then I washed it cold water, dryer on low. It strank 4.5 inches (compared it to another unwashed shirt). The other shirt was a different color and smaller size, but after the wash/dry they were basically the same width. Buy a bigger size than usual and if you like long shirts skip this one. Update: I measured and washed the green shirt, but this time I line dried it. This time it didn't shrink. So skip the dryer for this shirt.
