Yes, all cotton shrinks but ring spun doesn't as much as 100% cotton. If you don't want it to shrink then when you get it out of the washer DON'T put it in the dryer and let it air dry.

How do you shrink a shirt a size smaller?
It just depends on how much cotton is in this shirt. If you want to shrink it, put it in the dryer for like 20 minutes and it might help a little bit. I also heard use a spray bottle and make the shirt damp and then put it in the dryer for 15 minutes. This only works with 100-50 percent cotton shirts

Why is cotton Eco friendly?
Non organic Cotton crops are causing a lot of damage to the environment, mainly due to its use of a huge amount of pesticides (synthetic chemicals designed to be toxic for living entities -plants, insects, fungi...-, and therefore ... toxic for the environment) Non organic cotton use about 3% of total cultivated surface on Earth but use 25% of pesticides. Organic cotton is not using pesticides, and is therefore causing much less damages to the environment. Organic cotton cultivation also impose crop rotations, which also have a lot of positive outcome on the environment, compared to intensive mono-culture. But organic cotton is not "saving the environment". It only contributes to a more sustainable use of it. Water management, cotton transformation (dyeing...), transportation, waste management, etc. are also part of the global picture and need to be addressed. In conclusion, Organic cotton is causing much less negative impact on the environment than non organic cotton. Switching from non-organic cotton to organic cotton is therefore a important part of any sustainability policy in the textile business. But organic cotton alone is not a silver bullet, and other issues need to be addressed.
