Yes, a shirt made of 100 percent cotton (algodon in Spanish) is likely to shrink in the wash. Cotton fibers have a natural tendency to shrink when exposed to water and heat, causing the fabric to tighten and reduce in size. To minimize shrinkage, it is recommended to wash the shirt in cold water, avoid high heat when drying, and consider air drying or using a low heat setting in the dryer.

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.
