I'm unsure about sizing and don't want the Lacoste shirt to be too small after washing. How much do they typically shrink?

Lacoste shirts, which are primarily made of cotton, may shrink after being washed, depending on a variety of conditions. Cotton's natural tendency to shrink increases with increased cotton content, whereas blends containing synthetic fibers such as polyester or nylon may shrink less.

Washing with hot water and drying at high temperatures might worsen shrinkage. When washed in cold water and air-dried, expect a 1-2% shrinkage in both length and width. This percentage can rise to 3-5% with hot water washing and high-temperature drying.

Your insights are valuable, so please share them in the comments.
