No, I'm not talking about my manhood, or my height, I'm talking about my clothes.
Here's the deal. I buy some tshirts (normal skate shirts), and wear them a couple days after I buy them without washing them. They fit perfectly, I look unbelievably amazing like usual, etc. etc. Then after I wash them, they shrink, and I look like I'm wearing little kids' clothes. This has happened to me with 4-5 different shirts and it's really starting to piss me off. I've tried buying a bigger size, but it's too big even after washing. I'm lifting and eating a lot, but I know that I'm not getting this much bigger every week.
I wash them in cold water and then hang them. What the hell am I doing wrong? If you guys just wear like normal skate shirts, what do you do?

Cold water and a dryer here for me and I don't have any problems with my shirts shrinking.
Are all of the "skate" shirts (guessing that's another way of saying a T-Shirt?) you're buying are made by the same company? If so, try a different company and see if you have the same problem. That's about the only thing I can think of off hand.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

They're t-shirts, but just like skateboard brands, like volcom, matix, element, etc.
The ones that have shrunk are from a few different brands.
I have never had that problem. I always use cold water and lay flat to dry. Maybe try buying bigger shirts and washing them first?? Do they keep shrinking or is it just the first time that you wash them??
