The person I bought the tshirt from says its gildan ultra-cotton and its a 100% cotton preshrunk jersey. am i out of luck? I really dont want to put this tshirt in the dryer, tell me what you guys think

Wash inside out on hot and then dry on the hottest setting. Do this a couple of times. Should shrink 5 to 10%

even though it is preshrunk, it will still shrink just a little. Follow splatheads advice.
