Some of the 100 percent cotton I tried over the years just could not pass muster on quality control. The shrinkage is in the lenght , not a good thing as once you cut the band off they really are not that long. [/quote]
No you haven't gotten shorter, and if it still fits as in my case maybe you've gotten wider. :shock:
This is the nature of cotton knit fabrics. Check out your less expensive 100 % cotton T's. The same thing happens to them. Pays to go for better quality.
