Any tips on how to shrink coveralls?

submitted by Gowithit to TraditionalWives 4 monthsDec 2, 2024 21:44:48 ago (+1/-0)     (TraditionalWives)

Dickies is all over the place with their sizing now and the same size medium from 5 years ago is not the same. Like a weird medium/large size. Any idea on how to do it? Im seeing this blow dryer method but it sounds risky. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Buy the correct size off the jump. You can also try shit on and send it back if it’s not right. Are you fucking retarded or some shit? Do you lick the short bus windows? Tha fuck outta here with this shit!!

Hey maskless, retard, look at the sub.

and no the small is too small and the large is too large. Not all men have the weird fucking proportions your fat fuck self ate yourself into.

Don’t buy dickies at Walmart, dipshit. Dickies are nigger clothes so it’s no wonder they don’t fit you. Neck yourself.

If they are too small you got too big. So just burn them

Try advertising them on Marketplace and tell the story and that you want to trade for whatever size. You might get surprised. Other than that, wash in hot water and dry on high heat.

Assuming they are cotton or a cotton blend then drying on hot is the only way to shrink them. But it only shrinks (significantly) in one direction and it's usually the length. If you're trying to reduce girth then this is not going to help much. Though the waist band, assuming it has one, will come in some so that will help a bit.

There is no way to shrink other fabrics that doesn't also damage them significantly.

The proper way, of course, is get a tailor to alter them, but you're going to pay more than the coveralls are worth. Next time you may want to make use of the fitting room while making the purchase.

Online purchase i figured just grab the same size that was bought before. Should have known better because their pants also went off their usual size i just didnt expect it on their coveralls.

Everyone is getting fatter. Wal mart t shirts are bigger than at other stores.

Fair enough. And the reason why I hate buying clothing/footwear on-line from anyone but Amazon. Even if the error was on their end you more often than not get stuck with the cost of returning the item. And then, depending on cut and other factors, the replacement item may not fit either. Anyhow I assume that for whatever reason returning it is not an option for you, hence this post.

The good news is that if you have access to a sewing machine then coveralls are relatively easy to modify to fit better, as long as you're not trying to make a fashion statement lol.

Step #1) Measure yourself @ home.
#2) Note measurements--record/write numbers down.
#3) Arrive @ shop/store-look for coordinating measurements.
#4) Try-on prospective garments.
#5) Pick appropriate size items for purchase.
CAUTION! Allow for shrinkage!!
