Aim down your arrow because thats where it's going.

The pull over has shrunk or the hunter has growned?Lol .Seriously,I don't think you can.Good luck!
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

The omnitherm is a bit tough, but you can stretch it a bit(not a lot) when drying. Keep at it, dont just do it once and walk away. The omnilite is much easier to stretch when wet.

you can try soaking it and then stretching, but you have to stretch multiple times. don't wash it, it's the agitation of the washer that causes the shrinking. good luck

Wet it in cold water, then as it dries keep on it, carefully stretching the wool and not the seams. It will a little.  Or diet and exercise  ;)

Yes, you can. However, please be careful!!!! I had the same issue with a Frontier Shirt in Omnitherm and pushed my hand right through the material. Ouch. My seamstress was able to fix the eight inch tear, but that stuff is too doggone expensive to get cute with.

Just a friendly word of advice!

Yes, soak it thoroughly in cold water until dripping wet.  Pull on the material in all directions multiple times and also block it multiple times,  taking care not to pull too much on the stitched areas.

Dry it by hanging on a hanger.  Never use the dryer ever.

Thanks guys! I set myself up for that didn't I.  My pullover is the thick old one before omnitherm. the original. However it is snug in the shoulders. All that puck- ca- nut Pie goes up top on me!  So soak in cold water then hand stretch.
