  1. Hi all,
    I got two new jerseys' as a gift but they are both about one size too
    big. Is there a way to shrink them by washing them on hot water and
    putting them in the dryer would work? I know this will work with wool
    jersey.
    Cheers,

    I'd call Rick Moranis for advice.

    Or Jason Alexander,
    think he tell you a thing or two about shrinkage.

    Send it to Jerry Seinfeld's dry cleaner.

    Take them to a tailor. I had an XL cycling jacket that was cut for a fatty
    master with a real gut problem. The tailor took it in and it's great.
    Shouldn't cost too much.

    Natural fibers will shrink: cotton, wool, linen, silk. Wash and dry in
    a dryer. Synthetic fibers don't shrink nearly as well, if at all.

    An alterations shop may be a better option.
