My judo gi shrunk in the wash
I washed my white judogi in hot water by mistake and now it's too small. Is there anything I can do to stretch it out or is it a lost cause? It was from Decathlon, not super expensive but still.

Unfortunately it's pretty hard to get fabric back to its original size once it's shrunk, especially with a judogi. You can try stretching it while it dries by hanging it on a hanger and gently pulling, or laying it flat on a towel, but honestly that's not gonna get you much back. If it's really too tight to put on, you'll probably have to get a new one. For next time, wash in cold water and air dry - most judogis don't handle heat well.
