We recommend that you wash your knitwear in cold water and hang it to dry. Our cotton pique has been pre-washed to stabilize the fabric and control shrinkage, but about 2% shrinkage is still expected with washing. For this reason, if you are in between sizes we recommend going with the larger of the two sizes.
Please note that in some cases additional shrinkage of up to 3% may occur but is not permanent. The additional shrinkage is called ‘movement’ and is a result of the fabric constricting after washing. Light steam or a warm iron will relax the fibers, and the garment will return to its original shape less the maximum 2% shrinkage.
