Tijs-
But some garments can be reshaped/sized. I recently was given some John Smedley wool polo shirts and T-shirt’s. After one wash they had shrunk by over 10%. Contacted their customer services who suggested a low temperature steam iron could help reshape the garments back to size and shape. It worked perfectly.

Just shrunk my OH's new cotton t-shirt in a 40° wash, mixed setting.
Label says 40°.
My OH says I should have washed at 30° as everything is 30° nowadays.
I don't think a new t-shirt should shrink anyway - it's not a wool jumper - definitely not at 40°.
Who's right?
