My clothes have shrunk

[hyperD]

If they have been in a pressurised hold, could the fibres have become compressed due to the pressure, resulting in a tighter weave?

Baggage hold is slightly less than atmospheric (same as cabin) ~ 8000 ft pressure altitude (haven't checked).

However, you may be onto something there: the cooler conditioned air that is pumped in via the engine compressors is very dry at 30,000ft or more, so it could be that the moisture stripping has tightened the clothes' fibres.

Personally I think it's more likely that the beer and kebab monkeys have been at your waist again HAB!

HAB, it's your eyes matey. Alternatively your specs need a clean.

You've grabbed the wrong case.

That one is the Gimp gear, remember ? It's meant to be tight.

The case you want is under the stairs.

[Bright Spark]

it's caused by the hairs on your ar*se, which release tiny molecules
which when compressed in a suitcase will shrink items of clothing.

I opened my suitcase this morning and found a couple of pairs of trousers that I had brought back to the UK. “They’ll do for indoors while I’m working etc”, thinks HAB. I’ve tried both of them on and they appear to have shrunk while they have been in the suitcase. Why is that?
