Do clothes made from supima cotten shrink?

Answer 1

Yes all cotton is subject to shrinkage and Supima is no different than any other cotton. However, shrinkage is really more a factor of the fabric manufacturing than the fiber. Knits will always shrink more than a woven fabric. There are compaction process that can be applied to try to pre-shrink and set the fabric prior to manufacturing of the apparel or home textile item. Those go along way to minimizing any further potential shrinkage.

Answer 2

For the most part the answer is yes. Supima, while a stronger, longer and softer cotton fiber can wrinkle like other cottons. However, wrinkling is also more dependent upon product care, the type of fabric and the actual fabric construction. Finally, some products are treated with wrinkle resistant finishes. Products utilizing this kind of finishing can be found in dress shirts and bed sheets.
