Anything with cotton in it will shrink some if it has not been preshrunk. The amount it will shrink depends on the percentage of cotton in the material. The more polyester the material has the less it will shrink.

A poly/cotton blend material is excellent for t-shirts. These tend to be the softest shirts and artwork/designs look better on this fabric and won't crack or chip as easily as it would on a 100% cotton t-shirt.
All Hanes products are 100% cotton.
Yes. However, many 100% cotton t-shirts sold in stores are pre-shrunk. Check before buying.
Many modern quilters think that poly cotton fabrics are suitable for quilting because they do not shrink as 100% cotton does, it launders very well, does not wrinkle, and is easy to work with. Many other quilters think that poly cotton fabrics are UNsuitable because they do not accept stitching in the same way as 100% cotton fabrics: thread tends to lie on the surface of poly cotton instead of sinking into a soft ditch. Some quilters do not like poly cotton's too-smooth texture, preferring the softly crinkled affect produced when 100% cotton is slightly shrunken.

It depends on how they are processed. Regular (conventional) cotton t-shirts are washed with formaldehyde which affects shrinkage. For organic cotton tees, some do, some don't. I know that we pre-shrink ours only using hot water.
"Poly cotton" is a term for a blend of polyester and cotton. The physical properties depend on both the ratio of polyester to cotton and on the particular polyester used. A standard poly cotton fabric would have 65% Polyester 35% cotton, with a 68 pique thread count However a 50% polyester 50% Cotton is also normal this starts to go in percale finish, and a higher thread count, the higher the thread count and cotton content the better the fabric finish
