    Another one of my 'might be a stupid question, but..' sort of posts...</p>

    Anyway, I bought a hooded sweatshirt recently (from the U.S), and found it to be too long. I'd bought a large as I've got medium in the past and they've shrunk and been too small, so I though't I'd cover my bases. But this one is much longer than most I've bought/worn before.</p>

    My question is, in the opinion of someone in the know, would it be worth running it through the washing machine/tumble dryer and attempting to shrink it, or send it back and get a medium?</p>

    If it's of any use, it's 50% cotton and 50% polyester (does this mean it's less/more shrinkable?). I know I've bought them in the past and they've been made 90% cotton/10% polyester, and have always shrunk.</p>

    Stupid question I know! Worth a try though eh?

    Simply wear it at a distance and it'll look much smaller.

    Take it from me

    Leave it well alone. Long sweatshirt is good. It will cover the bit where your jeans are hanging way too low because you have failed to pull them up / put a belt on.... will cover up your undercrackers that no=one wants to see

    Glad to be of service.

    RE: Take it from me

    Haha, it just makes me look a bit 'chunky'. It's a bit too baggy I think, but then my Mum thinks it looks fine, so who knows
