The loss of circulation or strangulation of the neck is almost certainly the result of..
*gasp*
A SMALL SHIRT COLLAR
A tie will naturally loosen and shift throughout the course of your day
A necktie should be tied enough to cover the gap between the points of your collar with a snug fit. Ever have to stop and adjust your necktie? Exactly.
So what should I do to make sure my shirts don't shrink?
Give yourself some room!
When measuring shirts, we tend to allow a "finger" of space between the neck to allow for such shrinkage after a wash.
Let it breathe
I personally do not wear shirts with any interfacing, but I also air dry them after washing ( pressing them gently by iron once they've become slightly damp).
Save the Cleaners for your Coats
Try to avoid dry-cleaning your shirts as well. Although the name implies differently, Dry Cleaning isn't actually "Dry". The garments are still laundered in a wet solution and pressed by high heat- which can result in shrinkage.
Follow these tips and you should have no problems with blood flow to your brain. We hope you continue to enjoy your lovely ties as much as we do.
