( If the powers that be believe that this belongs in the "general" forum, please transfer it over to there. However, since a Clyde is asking the question and it involves a Clyde sized jersey, I figured I'd ask it here first. )

What is the best way, assuming of course that there even IS a way, to shrink a jersey?

Was given a XXXL jersey by my brother and while (for now anyways) a XXXL is the right size for me, this one is a little baggy. With this (new) journey I've undertaken to lose weight, this jersey will only get baggier as the pounds come off. I don't want to hurt my brother's feelings by not wearing it, but I just don't like how it fits me at the moment.

I'm hoping there's some way to shrink it a little bit without damaging it. If anyone has any tips, suggestions and/or comments, I'd sure appreciate hearing them. Thanks is advance.

A) More chocolate
B) Lose a bunch of weight quickly, frame the jersey, hang it on the wall and thank your brother for the inspiration to lose weight.

Either way, problem solved, and brother not offended.

I don't think you can shrink your jersey unless it's made from cotton or wool. Synthetics don't shrink in my experience. You could get it altered though.

Most of my jersey's don't fit or fit tight, I blamed my wife but then realized my leather belt was also out a notch or two

Option A wouldn't be hard to accomplish....at least today anyways. All those chocolate bunnies just waiting to be devoured. Think there may even be a bunny or two around my place.

Option B just might work. I like it.

Option C sounds pretty simple. Think I'll give it a try later on today.



Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

If you do try that method, please let me know your outcome. I'm looking to do the same, but my wife's mother recommended against that method, and she's all up fabrics and sewing and whatnot.

Well, didn't get a chance until this morning to give this a try. Didn't work. Sent it thru the washer and dryer twice, and there was no change in the fit either time. Guess I'll just wear it as is.
