I have experienced sleeve length shrinkage after washing dress shirts and from past posts on Style Forum this seems to be a common problem. I have been buying OTR shirts with a sleeve length an inch longer than what I need, washing and drying them in a dryer (I know that some people prefer to hang dry, but I would prefer not to do that) several times and then shortening them to the desired length by removing the cuff and reattaching it. That seems to be the only way I can get a sleeve length (34 inches) that shows the desired 1/4 to 1/2 inch of cuff with a suit jacket or sport coat. Maybe this is why most men that I see are not showing any cuff ? I should also note that usually one sleeve shrinks more than the other.
Is this the only solution with OTR dress shirts ? Is there an OTR brand that does not shrink ?
