Will follow updated FAQ's in description as your video is missing parts but thanks for the tip bro. *update* this actually works stretched a 100% recycled cotton hoodie that was too tight on the body/arms both in width and lenght - it now fits 🙂 forgot to mention I did lightly drain a fair bit of the water from the hoodie after soaking for a few hours and also rolled in a towel then stretched it as required.
Hey man! Your comment and update is well appreciated. And yes, I only realised that I missed some pointers after I have uploaded the video 🤦🏻♂️ Hence the support information in the caption. Anyway, glad it worked!
@@solematesdxb6742hey i have a question do u think you can use this on one part of a zip up or even a zip up in general or do u recommend wetting the whole thing
23" pit to pit is closer to a medium for a hoodie. Vintage hoodies feel oversizrd because they cut dimensions bigger than t-shirt measurements. You'll often see 25" large pit to pit and 22-24" medium pit to pit.
Do I machine wash, then let it air dry? Or keep the conditioner water in and let it air dry? Also, can I machine wash after the I let it dry, or will that shrink it again?
After you soak it, put it in the washer and afterwards let it air dry. In the future wash as needed and always let air dry. Most cases the dryer will shrink it
I’m going to try this with my tech fleece jumpsuit that fits so small. I’m an xxl and when I bought it they both fit so small I had to try this out. Will update if it turns out successful
One thing I don’t get, “throw in the washing machine and dry”. Do you wash it in the washing machine and then dry, or do you dry it in the washing machine?
Sorry! Was focusing on my IG page, didn't think people would find this video useful 🤦🏻♂️ so yeah, washed it with the machine then Ir dry. Will post something in the description regarding this
I have this hoodie that is made of 64% cotton and 36% polyester. Can i do this stretching method on the hoodie or does it has to be made of 100% cotton? Thanks for the video!
Sorry I'm not really sure what acrylic fabric shirts are. But if your shirt has an acrylic painted design on it., be careful in stretching. You dont want to crack the print
Can I do this on zipper hoodies? I have an L sized zipper hoodie and it fits nicely and comfortable but the hood doesn't really cover my head at all. I just want to make the hood bigger so that it can cover my head but I'm afraid it will damage the zipper
I have a purple supreme hoodie that fits a bit small but I’m scared that if I try this it’ll somehow fade the color. Would it be a good idea to flip the hoodie inside out?
You don't have to hold it in place. I tried this once by putting balloons inside (just had a party and that's the first thing that came in mind) but it didn't work and it deformed my shirt. For the next question, yes you can do it on the sleeves, length and width 🤜🏽🤛🏾
definitely hang dry / air dry, especially if youre stretching its length. Additionally, if youre stretching its length you could maybe try taking it out of the wash earlier in the spin cycle, that way its a little more soaked so you have a heavier garment. The combination of the heavier garment + gravity will further aid the stretch.
I'm really tall and everything is really short. I ordered a hoodie and it fits perfectly but too short 😭😭 I will try this and see if it works or not :D
Cool! I can finally bring my old hoodies back to life! Post more life hacks!
YESSIR!

Thanks Bro 😎 continue doing what you do best, Sharing… coz KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
YAY!
@@solematesdxb6742 does this work with hoodie with fur?

I agree with you! It fits more like a big medium. Thanks for your thoughts! Appreciate it
Will this damage my hoodie with a print in the back?
Nope

@@LNB_Jay this was a year ago bro idk
Thanks so much bro! Does this also loosen the waist area of the hoodie?
Since it’s cotton when I get to throw it in the washing machine, I set the water to cold right?
Yes better

Creator of this video can you please answer this question
After you soak it, put it in the washer and afterwards let it air dry. In the future wash as needed and always let air dry. Most cases the dryer will shrink it
Sorry! Wash using the machine then air dry
I’m try it cause I bought a new tech in a xs and I need it bigger

Needed this. THANKS!
Glad to be of help, bro!
Does it only work for cotton sweatshirts?
What about collared office shirts?
Washing machine or dryer ?

Did you know
@@revivalist355 lol what?
@@shervm.6597 am asking if you found out the answer to your question

@@Jusjay23k hope he got robbed 💯
Do you wash it normally with laundry detergent and fabric softener still?
Yes you can do that. But air drying it is better
okay how about shrinking a vintage center swoosh hoodie?
Hey are you allowed to machine dry them after or all ways have to air dry them?
SLR. Wash it using the washing machine then air dry 😃
One thing I don’t get, “throw in the washing machine and dry”. Do you wash it in the washing machine and then dry, or do you dry it in the washing machine?
SLR. Wash it using the washing machine then air dry 😃
So In the washing machine or the dryer?
Oh yeah!!! DRYER!!!!!!! haha! Thanks!
Do you put it in the dryer machine after washing it or hang dry?
SLR. Wash it using the washing machine then air dry 😃
Does the conditioner go on the fabric/hoodie or you can just dissolve it in the water?
Both will do, as long as the hoodie is soaked in that solution
Does this work with pants ?
If the pants are made out of cotton
Great tutorial! Done subscribing!
THANK YOU!
Did u just dry ur hoodie without washing or did u also wash it in the washing machine?
he doesn't asnwer this question, several others have asked but never a response
Sorry! Was focusing on my IG page, didn't think people would find this video useful 🤦🏻♂️ so yeah, washed it with the machine then Ir dry. Will post something in the description regarding this
Does it need to be soaked in conditioner?
Yep
does the conditioner a black hoodie? and does this actually work?
It does work :)
trying this out tonight hope it works 🤞
Make sure to air dry 😀 Let us knowww
Is it okay if i use machine dryer?
Hey there! According to the comment section, air drying the item works best :)
I have this hoodie that is made of 64% cotton and 36% polyester. Can i do this stretching method on the hoodie or does it has to be made of 100% cotton?
Thanks for the video!
Love this bro! 100%
Appreciate you bro! Thanks!
does this stain your (black) hoodie?
That’s sick but how do I keep it from shrinking in the wash
SLR. Wash it using the washing machine then air dry 😃
After I stretch it out do I let it dry or throw it into the wash directly.
Air dry or drying machine?
Good question, I think air dry would be better. Dry spin might make it shrink again
Does it matter what kind of hair conditioning you use?
Not really
Did you put it in the Washer machine or dryer machine?
SLR! Washing machine to wash. But better to air dry
Yes bro. All my loosely fitting sweatshirts are ugly so I needed to stretch my under fitting small clothes that look nice
Awesome!
What does putting conditioner do
Softening the fibers of the cloth, allowing it to stretch and keep streched
Will this ruin my tech fleece?
Hi! I think this does not work well with tech fleece jackets. It's more advisable for cotton 😃
We dont have dryer can i put it outside? and let it dry with air?
prob yea
Yes that's better!
@@Le_Papa Thank you!
Do I use a dryer to dry the hoodie ?
Air dry would be more effective :)
@@solematesdxb6742 sorry but what does air dry mean ? Leaving it out in the open or ?
Just hang it to dry 😃
@@solematesdxb6742 Thanks bro
would this work on a true religion zip up 60% cotton 40% polyster?
Yep
When I put it in a washing machine do i put on iron dry cuz I didn’t understand
You let it spin using the machine so the conditioner gets washed off, but it's better to air dry after
Hey would this work on a terry cotton zip up? If it does work will shrink back up after a couple washes?
Trying this now. Let's hope it works because it's merch I can't return! 😂😅
Did it work?
Hope it worked for you!
So I got a printed hoodie on I’m wondering if I do this will it fade
Nope it wont 😃
can this damage certain hoodies ? and do they ever go back to their original size ?
Hi! I believe it's a safe method as long as you dont pull too hard. Be careful with light clothes. The hoodie I used the method with has a heavy cloth
Anddd... Learning from the comments, I think it would be better to Air Dry the item. Spinning it might make it shrink
Does this work with 60% cotton 40% polyester
Yes it will!😃
does this method apply to acrylic fabric t-shirts?
Sorry I'm not really sure what acrylic fabric shirts are. But if your shirt has an acrylic painted design on it., be careful in stretching. You dont want to crack the print
Can you do this with Nike tech or will it get smaller
I think it wont work on Nike Tech, it's note in polyester I think
I had a hoodie I love come in the mail a bit to small, gonna try this possibly
Does this work? And don't it mess up the colour?
It wont mess up the color. Worked for me 😊
Can I do this on zipper hoodies? I have an L sized zipper hoodie and it fits nicely and comfortable but the hood doesn't really cover my head at all. I just want to make the hood bigger so that it can cover my head but I'm afraid it will damage the zipper
You can try bro just be careful on the zipper part. Hope it works!
@@solematesdxb6742 yeah i tried it and it works
Did it work
can you stretch the length too?
Yes!😃
working on zip up hoodie?
As long as it's a cotton hoodie
does it work on polo?
How would you stretch out the arms is the real question
Hi! You can do it from side to side to increase the width making it boxy, but I think making the sleeves longer is a bit more challenging 😅
Learning from your videos, keep it up!
Shukran!
Can you stretch more after washing it?
Yes! You can do that! Just be careful not to damage the material
What shampoo
Hey, do I drain the water?
Yes! But according to the comments. Air dry is better. Spinning it might shrink the shirt again
During the soaking process, do not drain the water :)
would this work on a carhartt jacket
Will it work on sweater?
If the material is cotton, then yes 😊
I have a purple supreme hoodie that fits a bit small but I’m scared that if I try this it’ll somehow fade the color. Would it be a good idea to flip the hoodie inside out?
does it apply in 50% polyester and 50% cotton hoodie??
Hmmmm not sure bro. You can try
Did it worked?
Pls someone let me know
Hey guys! I saw this online! It's actually the same procedure for polyester according to this link www.wikihow.com/Stretch-a-Polyester-Shirt
Hey I have a Santa Cruz Hoodie that I want to do this to.
Would soaking it ruin the printed graphic?
No it won't
It works on zippers too?
If it’s cotton, then it should
Does it shrink throughout time when you wash it?
SLR. Mine didn't 😃
Does putting it in the dryer not shrink it back down, that’s why so of mine are so small
SLR. Mine didn't shrink back
Can I do it on pants??
I doubt it 😢
Thanks imma try this and see if it works 👍
Hope it works! Give us an update 😃
Does this work with sleeve length only?
I doubt it 😞
Can you do it for the sleeves to make them longer?
Haven't tried that bro. You can check, but I don't think it'll do much
it worked for me
It worked
Do you have to hold it in place while stretching? Can I stretch the arm length, hoodie length, and hoodie width?
You don't have to hold it in place. I tried this once by putting balloons inside (just had a party and that's the first thing that came in mind) but it didn't work and it deformed my shirt.
For the next question, yes you can do it on the sleeves, length and width 🤜🏽🤛🏾
Thanks! How long did it take for your hoodie to dry? Seems like mine may take a few days :(
@@Yoitsrynsorry, it might not have been clear in the video, but please use the spinner to dry 😅
So do you let it air dry or dry in the dryer?
definitely hang dry / air dry, especially if youre stretching its length. Additionally, if youre stretching its length you could maybe try taking it out of the wash earlier in the spin cycle, that way its a little more soaked so you have a heavier garment. The combination of the heavier garment + gravity will further aid the stretch.
According to a lot who tried it. Air drying it is better 😃 please check the caption for a more detailed explanation of the process
Does it shrink back after I put it in the dryer?
As advised by a lot who did it, its better to air dry the jacket 😃
Thanks bro! Going to try this with a Vetements Sexual Fantsy hoodie 💪🏼
When it soaked for 2 hours to do i drain the remaining water or let it wet to stretch it out ?
Remain in water :)
Does the hoodie get loosen aswell overtime by just washing it?
I think it depends on the material. Some shrink as it gets washed more..
ur acc the goat man
Appreciate you!
Wapo.. nice one Bro!
THANK YOU KUYA!
Does it work on pants?
SLR. If it's cotton. Like sweat pants
Wait wont warm water shrink IT?

Wait to throw it into the wash machine to dry??
I’m confused lol
SLR. Wash it using the washing machine then air dry 😃
Will this work on a Ralph Lauren polo
Yep!
Do i need to wait 2 hours for this to work?
Imo, the fibers in the clothes need to be soaked in water with conditioner for at least 2 hours for it to work
Same, bought a sweater that's cheaper cos size, lol
Yes Yes Yes!!!!!
Can i ask is it alright if i dont dry it in the dryer but instead hang it and wait till it dries by itself? Awesome video btw!
Yep! Air drying it would work as well 😃
Can this work with any top clothes
