Scramble "Athlete 2" Gi shrinkage?

[Marfa]

What up, fellas.

I just received the Athlete 2 kimono from Scramble, an A3. The fabric and colours are nice. I wasn't expecting it to come with its own bag. The pants fit suprisingly good, considering I have short stocky legs. 6`1 feet tall and some 200 lbs.

My problem steems from the jacket. I have shorter arms but a wide back. The sleeves are a bit long for me ( I have that problem with normal clothes), so I was wondering if by giving it a first wash in hot water I could get some shrinkage for a tighter fit. The back of the jacket could withstand a bit of shrinkage no problem, and the sleeves definetely need it for me since they end in the mid of the back of my hand.

Any experiences with this gi?
Do you recommend the hot wash to get some shrinkage if possible?
At what temperature should I wash it?

Thank y'all.

Scramble are a great brand and I love their gear. I remember my V1 shrank pretty badly, as did my Rebel. I just washed it as normal, there is definite room for shrinkage.
