i would like to know if the Levi's LVC 1955 Sawtooth denim shirt 7205-0027 ( dark blue / rigid ) is sanforized or Shrink to Fit ?

This one :
https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/threelove/item/lv-303-0001/

I found what seems to be an older version of that shirt above , the 7205-0018 ( with shorthorn tag / logo inside , instead of authentic western wear tag/ logo as found on the LVC 1955 7205-0027 , 7205-0038 ...etc) :
https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/kind-u/item/8066000121802/
This one ( 7205-0018 ) is specified as Sanforized as it is specified on the tags to choose our true size cause it does not shrink more than 1% but i can't find the info for the 7205-0027 !

I thought the 7205-0027 1955 sawtooth LVC denim shirt was sanforized , like the 1967 LVC rigid denim Trucker III jacket but a seller told me the 7205-0027 is a shrink to fit model , although i really doubt !

It seems the tag inside the 1955 sawtooth denim shirt 7205-0027 specifies it can shrink up to 5% but my 1967 LVC Trucker III rigid jacket also has that on its tag and did not shrink after washing as far as i saw ( especialy at the waist which is very tight from the start on the 1967 LVC Trucker 3 ) .
So i suppose it is sanforized as well .
Did some of you have had some of these 7205-0027 LVC 1955 sawtooth denim shirt ( the ones tagged Authentic Western wear inside ) and notice some shrinkage anywhere on the measurments ?

So , nobody knows if those LVC 1955 Sawtooth denim shirts in dark blue / Rigid color , style ref (PC-9 ) : 7205-0027 shrink when washed ( 30°C /86° F ) ?

I am trying to buy one new and the M size should fit me but if they shrink after washing , it might get too small ( and L size should be too big for me from pit to pit ) .

If anybody has some for sale in M size , i could be interested depending on the condition and price .

I am surprised nobody here has anything to say about that as i suppose some of you have some of these sawtooth denim shirts .
