It should not shrink if you wash it cold and air dry.

I'm with these guys....do not dry that thing in a dryer and you'll be fine.

I ordered mine XL not knowing exactly how it might fit over my 'Larger' frame. It came slightly loose but to a proper XL size, so I did wash it in hot water and dried it in the dryer, and now it fits perfectly large. Follow up washes will be in cold water and air dried.. that is unless my wife put it in with the whites.

Thanks guys. Knowing how things work around here I think I'll order XL and try my best to keep it out of the wash. However, I'm sure it'll find it's way in there at some point. Thanks again, Scott

Scoot - After it gets washed in hot water and put in the dryer set on Cotton, just find an eight year old to wear it.
