You can wash them in cool or warm water. DO NOT DRY IN THE DRYER! Let them air dry on thick plastic hangers, to avoid hanger marks, or drape over a drying rack. It's the dryer that makes them shrink! (Mom of 5 and former dry clean operations manager.)
I have learned to wash them all in cold water for a while after I buy them and then they don't shrink. I also buy large instead of medium because shirts shrink any way.
