      • .

        washing in hot water especially when
        they're new, then drying on high heat and leaving them in the dryer
        afterwards. Cotton is easy to shrink. Synthetics are usually not
        shrinkable.

    • its just

      ive been wearing these bottoms for 3 days in a row (yes yes smelly i know - but they are too comfy) and so they have lost there shape a bit. also i have some t-shirts which just loose shape after being worn and so need to regain that smallness.

      • Eat some lard.

        Makes the smallness of clothes relative and will give you added warmth for the freezing cold you will have to endure.
