Gildan Softstyle clothing is typically crafted from 100% ring-spun cotton, which offers a smooth, soft texture and a lightweight feel compared to regular cotton. Ring-spun cotton is produced by continuously twisting and thinning the cotton strands, which results in a much softer and more durable fabric.

Gildan Softstyle shirts do have the potential to shrink, but with proper care and following the washing instructions, this can be minimized. The quality of the fabric and the comfort it provides make it a popular choice among consumers. However, consider the potential for shrinkage and take preventative measures to ensure the garment’s longevity.

Gildan Softstyle shirts can be a great addition to your wardrobe, but I recommend taking caution when washing and drying to maintain their original fit and size.

However, shrink resistance does not mean ripstop nylon is entirely immune to shrinkage. When exposed to high temperatures, either through washing or drying, nylon fabric can experience some shrinkage.

That said, the shrinkage of ripstop nylon fabric is typically minimal, and the fabric is comparatively more stable in size than many other fabrics.
