Cotton will always shrink!
it is in its nature the fibers expand when wet shortening their length. they do
not rebound till stretched.
The only "100% cotton" that will not shrink is a
60/40 or 50/50 poly blend.
YES I KNOW THAT, THAT IS NOT 100% cotton but if you look at the advertized
Gildan 100% cotton heathers they are blends.
I have had customers ask for 100% cotton and order the heather color and LOVE
the shirts then next time order a plain color of the same style and HATE them
for shrinkage.
Just inform the customer they WILL have shrinkage in any 100% cotton and they
should adjust sizes accordingly.
I try to steer customers to blends as it makes my life easier...
