Default Article 1 T's shrinking problem?

I love the Article 1 s/s T-shirt when they first arrive. The are a perfect fit, not to big and not a tight fashion fit. The problem is when I wash and dry the t-shirts they shrink quite a bit and are now bordering on a fashion fit. Does anyone else have this problem with them or is my dryer just set to high? I am thinking about just hang drying these now to avoid the shrinking.
I was thinking of using these as part of my private line but the shrinkage scares me a bit.

I was just wearing an Article1 t-shirt yesterday that I just pulled out of the dryer and it fit very nicely. The same as when I first bought it.

I washed it in cold, but I dried it on high heat and I don't think it shrank at all.

I wash it in cold as well but this has happened to 3 of my Article 1 shirts and I am getting bummed because I love the cut when I first get them. I am going to order some more and dry on low and hopefully that will do the trick.
This is the organic s/s T's from them. I wonder if that matters? I would think not.
