Where can I get nice V-neck jumpers that won't shrink?

I ask this question every year and haven't found any yet that suit me - I need V-necks that are plain colours, full-length sleeves, machine-washable and long in the body that won't shrink after a few washes! Not wool as I find it too itchy, 100% or mostly cotton would be ideal. I don't mind spending a bit extra for decent quality that will last.

Anyone seen any like this?

I picked up a couple in H&M, they had navy, black, pink, grey and cream. They are v necked, with little buttons on the bottom 4 inches of the sleeves, feel almost like a brushed cotton but look like wool.

I wasn't expecting much as they were only £7.99 but they washed really nicely and haven't shrunk or bobbled. They are 82% cotton which surprised me as they were so cheap.

Might be worth a look.

Landsend usually have some nice ones in cotton and/or merino. I have a lovely purple fine cotton v-neck cabled sweater that I bought there a couple of years ago and it still covers my midriff with no problems.

Yes that's the one, have been very pleasantly pleased and am going to pick up a couple more.

Oooh I like the look of those! What's the sizing like? I'd like it fairly slouchy so wondered if it's worth sizing up?
TIA

IMO they are quite true to size, if a little on the smaller size so definitely size up if you want them slouchier.
