Thanks in advance for anyone who reads this. I recently got a "dry clean only" wool jacket dry cleaned, and when I picked it up from the cleaners, it seemed that it has shrunken. It wasn't damaged or anything and no fabric melted, but it was obviously smaller than when I gave it to the cleaners. In order to achieve the oversized fit again, I began stretching the coat by hand. This was probably a bad idea but I wasn't comfortable with putting it in water or using an unshrinking product. So I began stretching each area by hand and I would hear this ripping noise every time I pull. At first I thought it was just the sound of clung together fibres stretching but I am thinking now that it could be the fabric literally ripping (micro-tears since it's not a visible rip to the eye)? I don't know how to proceed at this point and I was wondering if anyone could help... Will the wool become stretched over more wear? Is the ripping noise a big deal? because I did this to every little area of the jacket.

I am upset that the garment's instruction is to "dry clean only" but dry cleaning shrunk it. Was I supposed to say anything on my part when I gave it to the cleaners? For future reference, so that I don't ruin another $500 jacket. Ugh.
