Title: Shrinking 100% cotton sweater vest?
Post by: Martinus on May 30, 2009, 04:51:15 AM
I bought this nice 100% cotton sweater vest, but after some use it seems to have expanded, mainly in length (it used to go to my waist, now it seems it got about 1-2 inches longer).

I read conflicting advice on how to shrink it back (involving washing it in hot or cold water, tumble-drying it or not, etc). Anyone knows how?

Yeah, CdM is probably the best bet for knowing this stuff.

Never tumble dry sweater vests.  Ever.

Wash in cold, stretch a bit, and rack dry.

No kidding... seriously, a sweater vest?

In my mind, CdM now looks like Fred Schneider.

Stop eating foie gras and steak tartare with mint julip dressing and maybe your chubby ass stomach will stop stretching your gay sweaters. You know gay clothing doesn't tolerate any fat on your frame, don't you?

Oh, I'm sure he only wears it to Ohio State games in a light-hearted imitation of Jim Tressel.

Or maybe that's Ed I'm thinking about...

Wow, that was a character-destroying response from Seedy.  Now all we need is Mono talking about racking up credit card debt.

Your impression of him must be significantly different from the rest of ours.

Is he gay? :unsure: Hmm, everything does start to make sense, now that I think about it.
