Anyone know what the shrinkage factor is on the "Made in Italy" Lupos? I've always washed cold and hung dry, but I feel a tighter fit would suit me better. If I toss them in the dryer on low, what kind of shrinkage do you think I'll get?

That's helpful. I have a size small that I think fits better, but you are saying if I shrink the medium the length will likely be shorter than my current standard small?

Probably but I'm not sure. The made in Italy knits never washed well, which is why I moved production to LA.

Speaking of Lupo’s, anybody else’s NY Blues navy polos turn purple after washing?
Mine doesn’t really look navy anymore, more like a dark purple. Can’t wear it with any of my navy jackets, as it clashes. It’s like the magenta in the color dye stayed but the cyan component fades out faster.

Thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me - but yes I've noticed a slight "purpling."

From navy to prune. Still love them. I think it’s actually from UV exposure more than anything ?‍♂️

Mine is still navy. Delicate wash in a sweater bag, laying flat to dry, no change in color yet (hopefully ever).
