EDIT: I get it, the consensus is that this is incorrect. I retract my statement.

~~Surprised no one has said this yet:~~

~~This happens when you put zip-up clothing in the dryer. The fabric shrinks and shifts but the metal/plastic zipper doesn't, creating a size mismatch that results in a bulge. Hang-dry your zip-up hoodies instead. I have hoodies that are close to a decade old and still haven't begun to bunch up because they've never seen the inside of a dryer.~~

my family hasn't owned a dryer in all the years i used to wear zip up hoodies and they still did that

This always is happens to my zip-up hoodies, and i've never used a dryer in my life. I believe it's just that the zipper is stiffer than the fabric, so it does not fold the same way as fabric does.

It could be a badly designed hoodie as well. I started watching a YT channel that examines different clothing brands lately and I learned a lot about how the actual fabric choices and panel shapes affect the comfort of the clothing in ways like this.

does that affect my zipper stiffy?

going to shift the blame to the industry and not the user.

they overstretch the fabric, so it's bigger and any clothing item can be sold using lest fabric, however most washing will relax the fabric to it's normal size, messing up the garment.

No has said it because it's not true.
