EDIT: I get it, the consensus is that this is incorrect. I retract my statement.
Surprised no one has said this yet:
This happens when you put zip-up clothing in the dryer. The fabric shrinks and shifts but the metal/plastic zipper doesn’t, creating a size mismatch that results in a bulge. Hang-dry your zip-up hoodies instead. I have hoodies that are close to a decade old and still haven’t begun to bunch up because they’ve never seen the inside of a dryer.
This always is happens to my zip-up hoodies, and i’ve never used a dryer in my life.
I believe it’s just that the zipper is stiffer than the fabric, so it does not fold the same way as fabric does.
going to shift the blame to the industry and not the user.
they overstretch the fabric, so it’s bigger and any clothing item can be sold using lest fabric, however most washing will relax the fabric to it’s normal size, messing up the garment.
