Hi Richard, thank you .....I m here little panicking :), ordered my Karate Gi and it s way to long for me ....was looking here of ways to shrink it....so wish me good luck :)...will be back with results :)
Honestly I don't know how polyester behaves with heat, I'd suggest a 60 degree wash to shrink the cotton element or a normal wash then tumble dry to see what happens??
Ghengis Khan - Hi my Gi is 100% cotton canvas and I got my results at 60 degrees so I think it would be best to contact the manufacturer as the polyester may affect the results if you do the same
Polycotton doesn't shrink, I am heavy size and my suit I ordered is 210cm I have to get cotton so I can shrink and get it polycotton suit cut down to size at the Taylors

Which material was it ? And how did it go?
Will my gi shrink if it’s a polycotton blend? My gi is slightly too big too and I’m scared to damage it with a hot cycle

How hot did you wash them?
Hi, apologies for the late reply, it was 60 degrees
100% polyester?
No its 100% cotton at quite a thick gauge - the label on the suit calls it cotton canvas.
