I agree with most of what you said but if you wanted the least amount of wear and tear then use the dryer with a simple technique.With cotton, you don't even need to use the dryer to restore the shape, man. Just a cold wash and hang/air dry is good enough. Don't use the dryer for clothes you care about; that's one of the worst ways to ruin your clothes.
Put a damp hand towel in the dryer with your unwashed cotton garment and run a short dry cycle. This achieves the shrinking effect and avoids wear from a wash cycle (especially if your washer is the agitator kind).
