Tribute vest and sleeve

can these go in the dryer?  Will they shrink?

I wash mine on cold gentle then dry on low. It tends to get a bit loose after a few wearings so cleaning it seems to restore the proper fit.

I use the dryer too, on low. And I add a couple of clean tennis balls to help fluff them up again. Happily the Tribute garments last a long time, unlike the daytime garments.

I was told to dry them in the dryer because it 'fluffs' up the filler so it works right.  Also it will take them 'forever' to dry just laying around - somewhere I remember reading that they may mold before totally dry if left to air dry.  I don't have a Tribute vest - just the sleeve.

Oh, right--the vest. I zip it up and turn it inside out to wash. It came with a laundry bag that I put it in to keep it from snagging on anything, and I wash and dry them with a bunch of towels. Dryer takes one full cycle and part of another.

Let us know how it goes when you try it!

Same system here, with the tennis balls.  I'd add only that after I dry it one cycle with the towels it was washed with, I turn it inside out for a solo tumble, set on a low heat setting.
