Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat settings during washing and drying, and opt for air drying if possible. If shrinkage occurred due to improper care, it may be irreversible.
Collar or cuffs have lost their shape.
Ensure the shirt is laid flat to dry. Reshape the collar and cuffs while damp. Avoid over-drying in a tumble dryer, which can damage the ribbed material.
