Hi everyone,
I recently bought a few 100% premium linen shirts, but they are a bit too long to wear. I’ve heard conflicting things about linen shrinking. Is it possible to intentionally shrink them, specifically in length, without ruining the fit elsewhere?

Will they shrink significantly or just a little?
Does it shrink uniformly (width vs. length), or is there a risk of it becoming too tight in the chest/shoulders?
Any tips for a "controlled" shrink (wash/dry settings)?

Thanks!
