All cotton will shrink just a little bit. unless the Shirt says pre-shrunk. If you do not want it to shrink, wash it in cold water and lay it flat to dry. If you need it to shink more wash in hot water and dry in the dryer.

Some cotton shirts are pre-shrunk. In any case, it is very rare that it will shrink significantly. So if your size is a "Medium", dont get a "Large" thinking that it might shrink significantly.
