Why dont's they preshrink thread by default already?
The only things I have that are preshrunk are rugby shirts made by some company that doest these exclusively and it oozes quality even though they're just basic jerseys. It's so dumb that you have to guess how much stuff will shrink and buy oversized garments

So why do some companies preshrink threads and fabric if it's not supposed
to be an issue? Are you not supposed to wash wool socks either? I have a pair of merino boxers, should I put them in the freezer once a month and call it a day? please advise

Preshrunk is the default for normie clothes because normies can't be expected to take care of their clothes. They want what's most convenient i.e. machine was warm -> medium or high heat tumble dry. If you're buying more expensive clothes it's assumed you'll care for them properly.

You can very easily wash wool. You just have to block and reshape anything you wash, and most needs to be hand washed.

Rowing Blazers. Or Columbia Knit if you want something more traditional.

Columbia Knit is made in USA and can't be beat. They have a great selection and prices. Barbarian is made in Canada, best quality but I'm not sure if they sell and ship directly to customers, but you can find their vintage stuff easy on ebay and the quality is unmatched

What an idiotic statement. Poorfags like you probably take better care of their clothes than normies because most people either have a housekeeper or get their stuff dry cleaned. I can't tell you how many pieces of clothing that bitch has ruined because she can't be bothered to learn english and read the care labels, so now everything goes to the laundry service.
If you wash tour clothes yourself, you're
in no position to call anybody else a normie in a derogatory fashion

You should know better than to throw your dry clean stuff in with the regular laundry - if your house keeper is just a regular housekeeper that stops by a few days a week or works as a maid on a daily basis idk but don’t blame her.
Lol. That’s your fault. simply communicate with her or sort your fucking laundry

Preshrunk is rather rare and I've mostly seen it in higher end utilitarian garments (scottish knits, sailing/yachting clothes, etc). If anything unshrunk is the norm, making it....... normie.
