For anyone who picked up the TS(S) cardigan shirt, has it shrunk up at all with washing?

Just picked up my package this weekend. So i haven't had a chance to wash mine yet. I suspect it wont shrink much if you machine wash cold / hang dry. However, I do believe chambray does has a tendency to shrink a bit.

Very nice! How do you make sure the awesome collar roll doesn't go flat? Or is that something that only happens with the crappy shirts I used to buy?
Edit: this refers to the blue and yellow striped shirt above.

I hand wash and iron all my inglese and they all roll very nicely! The collars are very resilient!

If the collar is cut properly, it cannot go flat. It's the physics of having a button positioned closer to the collar than the collar point measurements - the excess fabric has to go somewhere when buttoned, so it rolls like an S

I have not washed this one yet but as @Newcomer mentioned collars are resilient - but the collar roll itself is a feature of construction (there are people who will have better explanation than me on collar roll)

Greg is right, the roll should stay no matter what. That said, dry cleaning does damage fabrics and make them more lifeless over time. Cleaners can also do some damage with the manner in which they press the shirt. If you go easy on washing (machine cold, hang dry) and pressing (by hand at a reasonable temperature) the shirt (collar and all) will retain its qualities for much longer.
