I just recently bought the new Borat DVD and a new guitar and they both came with XL t-shirts. I wear a medium and I want to shirk these down to that size(or as close as possible). Any suggestions aside from the dryer(which I don't have) or boiling them? Why do so many of us Americans have to be so fat?

My first thought was...give it to me, I can shrink anything. I think that my dryer runs hotter than most, also the hot washing cycle seem to do it for me. Really I think heat is the answer as it shrinks anything with a cotton base fabric. Even without the dryer, the hot water will pull the fabric tighter.
We are not fat just "big boned"...lol

Soak it in boiling hot water in the sink for a couple of hours, then when it cools down throw it in a very hot dryer Take it out every so often to check the sizing. I know you said aside from this, but if you want to shrink it, try it.

commercial dryers get very hot. (these are the type found a laundry-mat.)
Using very hot water during the wash cycle and drying in hot dryer are usually the only way to shrink a cotton tee.
It should cost you no more than $3.00 to do this process a laundry-mat.

well if your t-shirt is 100% cotton then stick it in the washer with hot water and let it wash then it would shrink but i don't know about the other kinds.

If you boil it in hot water it will shrink but dont leave it for to long or it will be tiny.

Either let my husband wash it or take it to the laundry mat and dry it there!
Also if you have a girlfriend she would probably love to wear it to sleep in!
