Bought new TR's - Do they shrink?

So I just bought a pair of TR Billy BIG T SUPER T's and I was wondering if these shrink if I throw them into the washer? They're wearable but they're just a tad baggy and I'm curious. Thanks!

TR does not permanently shrink - in my experience, and from what other people here say - it stretches right back out.

^ true. It may shrink temporarily but will stretch back out.

Thats correct.

It may tighten up a bit, but loosens back up every time you wear it.
It will NOT shrink permanently.

I am really really skinny, and I have shrunk every one of my true religions 2 sizes by boiling. and they never stretch back out.

j/k...my rigid TR always shrink with a wash/dry, but eventually stretch out with 1-2 wears.

Jess....LOL!!
This is exactly what I thought when I started reading this!

Yes, I totally agree with the others. They may shrink temporarily but always seem to stretch back out!

I shrunk the length of my joeys! I had them tailored and THEN washed them and they became 1/2 inch too short! I ended up only being able to wear them with flip flops!
