Is it normal for cotton clothes to shrink over time after washing them in hot water and drying them in high temperatures? For example, my x-large cotton sweatpants that I wash and dry almost all the time has shrunk to a medium size. But I thought high temperatures causes things to expand (simple physics, right)? But it seems it works in reverse with cotton clothes. Any thoughts?
