Make a jacket smaller using the washing machine?
Hello, I bought a retro Carhartt Active jacket online, and when it arrived today, I realized it was 1-2 sizes too big for me. Can I make the jacket smaller in a washing machine, or are there other options?

It's too hot to break your jacket, but it won't work. Send the jacket back and order the one size smaller. If you don't want to send them back, it might be possible to change them with a tailor.
If possible, they would exchange or sell and buy new.
To wash hot in the washing machine can work, but it can also go wrong. For example, the color runs, or the different parts of the jacket shrink differently and then somehow folds.
It's probably over after the wash.
Jackets are made of different fabrics (substance / lining / inlay, possibly non-woven inlay) which have all different properties.
Even if the fabrics survive it – the zipper will not. He will then wave until all eternity – you can no longer wear it.
Talk to the change cutter of your trust – sometimes you can do something and go closer.
Hello 998ss
If you wash them too hot, the fabric will be destroyed and you can then dispose of it

You can't make a jacket "small" defined. Clothing can enter during washing, but usually not in all directions, but either in length or in width.
Besides, not every fabric is that much.
No, exchange them.
try to exchange them
I got her from Vinted could be a problem.
Ask a change cutter whether there is the possibility to change the jacket.
then give or sell them to a friend.
If you can sew, you can do it yourself. Maybe you could sew someone in the acquaintance circle. Otherwise you have to decide to sell the jacket or hang in the closet and never wear it.
it costs a lot
