I think an inch is the norm.  2 just seemed like an awful lot. An inch will definitely make the shirt more fitted on me, but not too bad (probably still loser than a lot of younger girls wear ) I just don't want the length to go. 

Do not wash, Do not wash.....

If it was only an inch, then the larger one would definitely still have been baggy looking. And with that shirt, I would have wanted the sleeves to shrink quite a bit.  Sounds like that might not of happened.  Can you notice if the sleeve holes got any smaller?  Probably not, that is asking a lot

Oh, and were they youth size shirts you got?  The thicker or light weight material?

I bought a youth large and an adult small. They are both the thinner material (my new brown Mischief Managed is a lot thicker, but of course not from Hot Topic. Just trying to give you a visual!). I doesn't seem that the arm holes are any smaller. Hope this helps!!

Yes, that helps.  I just found on their site the following:


Q: How much do tees shrink?
A: They'll shrink about 5% in length and width, if care instructions are followed correctly. This is about 1 1/2" for both measurements. Not following care instructions can result in more shrinkage. Bottom line: wash 'em in cold water and hang dry 'em. That's how they stay purty.

So basically, if I like how this fits, don't dry it.  The larger size would have been okay in length and wisth washed, but not sure about the arm holes.  You could see right up them on me.

Just don't let your husband do the laundry.  Mine was being nice one day and did a few loads.  Only problem was that he shrunk 2 of my shirts and 2 of my girls pants.  I didn't have the heart to tell him.  He was trying so hard to help.

He cleans and cooks, and I pay bills, make the coffee and do laundry.  He would never do the laundry

Hey, mine cooks too!  He's a good Italian boy.  BTW, my Hot topic sold out of those jackets long ago.  :'(

I was just at the mall and saw that Hot Topic is having a sale on Harry Potter jackets and t-shirts.  $10 off each piece.  They didn't have any track jackets, but they did have a nice sheatshirt hoodie with the Gryffindor crest on the front.
