Does Dri-Fit Shrink?

A Guide to Custom Dri Fit Roundneck Shirts

In the world of custom apparel, "Dri-Fit" has become a buzzword. Whether you're outfitting a sports team, a company event, or your own brand line, Dri-Fit fabric is often a top choice. But a common concern many have before placing an order is: Does Dri-Fit shrink?

Let’s break it down and find out why custom Dri Fit roundneck shirts from CraftClothing are designed not just to perform—but to last.


What Is Dri-Fit, Exactly?

Dri-Fit is a type of moisture-wicking fabric made from a blend of polyester and other synthetic fibers. Its main job? To pull sweat away from your skin to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates faster. This keeps you feeling cool, dry, and comfortable—even during intense activity.

This performance-driven fabric has become a staple in activewear, uniforms, and even casual work apparel, especially in hot and humid climates like the Philippines.


So, Does Dri-Fit Shrink?

The short answer: not like cotton does.

Traditional cotton shirts are notorious for shrinking after the first wash, especially when exposed to high heat. Dri-Fit, being made primarily of polyester, is much more resilient to shrinkage. However, improper care—like washing in boiling hot water or tossing it into a scorching dryer—can still cause minor changes in fit or texture.

But here’s the good news: CraftClothing uses premium-grade materials and meticulous craftsmanship to ensure that your custom Dri Fit roundneck shirts retain their shape, quality, and design even after multiple washes. Our fabric blends are tested for durability and comfort, so you don’t have to worry about shirts shrinking or fading after just a few wears.


How to Care for Dri-Fit Apparel

To keep your Dri Fit shirts looking sharp:

  • Machine wash cold – avoid hot water cycles.

  • Use mild detergent – harsh chemicals can degrade synthetic fibers over time.

  • Skip the fabric softeners – they can block the moisture-wicking channels.

  • Air dry or tumble dry low – high heat can warp synthetic fibers.

Follow these simple steps and your Dri-Fit shirts will continue to perform like new—wash after wash.
