is it the hot water or the dryer that shrinks it? i'm not even sure it a 50% cotton/50% modal shirt will shrink...but which of the two is what makes it
smaller? or is it a combination?

I think it's the hot water. Cold doesn't really do anything.

Hot water. Dry on high.
It will only shrink a little little but when it's 50/50 |
