Hi Tom,
Sorry but I doubt if this blend of fibers will shrink.
It seems like a good idea to shrink garments to fit but even if the fibers shrink there is no guarantee that the shrinkage will be where you wnt it to be. Cotton usually shrinks more in the lengthwise than it does in the width, for example.
If the care label states that you can wash this garment, you can always try to wash. However, if the care label states dry clean only, washing will void any guarantee.
Hope this helps!
Judith
