I've standardized my shirts on the Uniqlo Crew Shirts and they seem to have very little change from wash to wash compared to my Banana Shirts.
The Uniqlo shirts are a cotton/polyester blend while the BR shirts are 100% cotton, which explains the help that durability of the synthetic materials provide.
It would be great if we could get some data on which brands have the most and least variance and which brands expand and shrink the most over their lifetime.
Poly blends are not going to noticeably get smaller wash to wash. They will get worse-looking though, as they don't shrink consistency - only the cotton shrinks, not the polyester.
