How do i shrink a cardigan a size down?

Question

I went to urban outfitters today and was debating on whether i should buy a man's small or large( they unfortunately were out of medium). i believe it is made of about 95% polyester. i purchased the large bc i felt that if i bought a small it would shrink when i washed it. the large is a tad too long but i felt mayb after a trip to the washing machine would help. should i return it for the small or keep the large. here is a link of the exact cardigan, i got the grey 1, not the blue which looks a bit gay.

Update:

http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/produ... thats the link and it also yes it has 5 percent spandex if that helps

you cannot shrink polyester return the cardigan and get the size that you need instead, even if this means getting it from another store. Sorry but there is no links to your question , but if you like grey then get a grey one .

spandex doesn't shrink but it helps on keeping the shape , I like the grey cardigan better

before washing make sure to always read the labels of everything that you purchase.

I would return it, buy it online instead and get the right size. On the website there is an option to ask questions, maybe they know better about this particular item since it is their product, but I don't think this fabric will shrink.
