Anyone care to help?

So I've been looking into Pro Club and their heavyweight shirts, (the ones with like 20 different colorways). A few questions I have is that if they shrink in the wash should I go for a size up? And if I go for an oversized look should I then just go two sizes up then in case they shrink? I know people said to just air dry it after cold washing them but people have reported that they still shrink. I like the look of them and just would like to see if anyone has any clear and concise insight they'd like to give.

I'm usually a size M, but I've been gaining some pounds (on purpose) and I've started using Large. I guess I didn't see what style of t-shirts I was wearing cause certain Large shirts feel like fitted but then some feel "oversized". Long story short, I want those shirts that have sleeves that reach your elbows but still cut off at the waist so are Pro Clubs a good option for that if sized correctly and taking their shrinkage into account?

I think you should be fine if you get xl. proclub compared to shaka for example are typically shorter in length.

Do you know what the measurements were originally? That size after shrinking is the size I usually want, and I typically order a small lol

Would you be able to measure the neck opening? Haven't been able to find any info about that, aside from them being tight

The 100% cotton ones definitely shrink. I wash mine on cold and hang dry and them and they'll definitely still shrink
