Shivinski 0 #1 June 5, 2011 Heya, I've got a 2nd hand Freefly Suit from Tony Suits made out of (what I'm almost certain is) 4-ply. Now it's always been a slight bit too big on me (a few inches too tall and a little bit more baggy than I would have liked). Now I'm no fabric expert so this might well sound like a bit of a retarded question, but I was just wondering if I could shrink it by sticking it on a hot was (my washing machine goes from anything between 20 degrees to 90 degrees C)? It's all black with white stripes so there's no colour running to worry about. If not, why not?
