Zara Man shirts shrinking in the wash

    I noticed that all my Zara shirts seem to shrink on the first wash, like around the collar, yoke and cuff (on the stitching). I thought the 40 deg wash has something to do with it, so last night i washed my brand new shirt at 30 and reduced spin and it still shrunk, although perceivably less than at 40. Any ideas how to prevent this from happening?

    I really like the cut of their shirts as they fit me well, but if they never last longer than 6 months, i might have to start shopping elsewhere.

    What are the shirts made of?

    Cotton usually shrinks 5%, premium brands would be pre shrunk.

    Viscose can shrink at high temps.

    Are you washing your shirts at too high a temperature I have loads of Zara shirts and I've never had any issues with them shrinking.
