I bought about 5 new xxl shirts and now they shrank to large probably. I just started doing my own laundry. Is there a way to keep the shirts in it's original size after doing laundry? Please help me.

Just stretch them when you pull them out. They should eventually work their way back out.

Exactly. Putting shirts in the dryer is the fastest way to make them shrink and fade them out. If it's a shirt you want to keep for a while then you should wash it in cold water and hang dry it.

Cold water room temp dry or no heat dryer. I don't like to hang my clothes outside because of all the nasty stuff in the air like pollen, dust, bugs, pollution etc..

I forgot to mention that you should wash your clothes inside out as well.

Cold Water and just Warm or AirFluff when you dry your shirts...or hang them out on the line works best. But seriously, XXL shirts dude...thats getting kinda big.

People at my school, who at the most should be wearing mediums, think it's fashionable to wear giant shirts.

Let them air dry instead of putting them in the laundry.

You have a problem if I wear XXL shirts? So what if I do. I wear them because they are comfortable to wear. Don't be like that man.
