Most of them are prewashed I think so they don't shrink a whole lot after that. Otherwise hot cycle in the washing machine and then heavy heat in the dryer might work.

You can shrink them for sure. A 95 degree wash will take a t-shirt down from XL to somewhere near L, but you might loose the pattern, and the dye will run so be sure not to wash it with anything that isn't the same colour.

Darker coulurs will fade miserably. The hoodies will also feel clammy and you will get very sweaty/uncomfortable in them. I have noticed this in the past..

Stick them on the hottest temperature in the washing machine and then throw them in the tumble dryer on the high setting.
