I ordered a hoody and it turned up and its huuuge.

I want to shrink it in the wash but dont want it to be so small that Jimmy Cranky will want to steal it.

Im familiar with the working of a washing machine (i sell them) but wondered what heat to put it at?

Wierd i know.

It's the tumble drier that does the shrinking isn't it?

Hoodies that are too big are the best kind of hoodies.

Unless a group of oversized hoodies confront you down a dark alley way.

I wouldn't go straight in for the kill. Just wash it at 40 degrees, or even 30 first. A lot of companies don't use pre-shrunk garments which have a little give in them when you wash them for the first time...

I was everything at 40 and sometimes 50 for oily stuff.

Might whack it up to 60-70 for a laugh
