American Apparel clothes that won't/will shrink?

Question

i want to buy some of their clothes but i hear so many complaints about the shirts shrinking. i have never had any problems like that with my other clothes when i put them though the wash/dryer. which fabrics from AA would shrink the least and most if i put them through the washer/dryer? (eg. sheer jersey, baby thermal, tri-blend, fine jersey, etc). thanks for any help!

Answer 1

the prob is that they blend a lot of their stuff with synthetics so they shrink in the dryer. to prevent that, wash cold and hang dry. itll stay soft that way too.

Answer 2

Almost anything made with cotton from AA will most likely shrink if you put it in the dryer. Especially the cotton spandex, and the tri-blends.  I own plenty of AA's clothing and I had to learn the hard way in the beginning.  Always, always always wash cold and most importantly, let it HANG DRY. Your clothes will come out looking fine that way.
