    Prewashed garments will have minimal shrinkage, but garments that are not will have a maximum shrinkage of 3 to 5 percent as long as the laundering instructions are followed.

    also there is this one:

    I doubt you can shrink it so much that you can't wear it, but it may or may not shrink enough to get what you were after.

    Understood, though I suspect that the folks who wrote those things do have first hand experience - possibly a lot more than just some guy on the internet.
