Russell Athletic Men's Cotton Performance Sleeveless Muscle T-Shirts - Gym Workout, Running & Athletic Training Shirt for Active Men

These were my first apparel buys on Amazon sometime back (too lazy to write a review until recently) and i bought XXL based on comments from other reviewers about how much they shrank after washing.For all purchases after these, i'll be ignoring the negatives reviews that claim that the shirts shrink because all the sleeveless tees to date which i have purchased from Amazon have not shrunk after going through my washing machine _AND_ tumble-dryer.When i bought these, I intended to use them to play ball (on the assumption they would shrink like how the other reviewers said they would) once they shrunk down from XXL to XL but so far, after 5 cycles of washing and tumble-drying on high-heat, i have not been able to get them to shrink! (good or bad depending on your point of view).How they can shrink 1 or 2 sizes as claimed by some people is beyond me - i wish they would state in their review how long they wash for or if they tumble-dry for like 6 hours straight or something because the shirts i received are definitely NOT shrinking.So, these Russell tees are now used for home exclusively....which is a shame since they are very very comfortable and light and would be the perfect bball tees. Would have given 5 stars if the shirts had shrunk down to XL size but the missing star is really the fault of those who claimed it would shrink when it does not.Update #1 : After learning my lesson and ignoring the reviews claiming shrinkage of apparel, i purchased another set of Champion brand sleeveless tees (Amazon search term "Champion Men's Cap Sleeve Raglan Tee") from another seller as i could no longer find a seller who would ship the same Russell Ts outside of the US. Very happy with the Champion ones as they are perfectly sized as expected.Update #2 : as at June 2014, the Russell sizes i bought are still the same as the day i bought them, with no shrinkage even after going through repeated washing and tumble-drying cycles. Also forgot to mention : i chose the all-white cotton-only versions so my review is based solely on the all-white cotton-only versions. If you bought or have another color, i can't comment on whether you are going to get shrinkage or not. :)
