Shrink... a little bit.

If you want to shrink them stick them in the dryer - that'll do the trick.
Mine have all shrunk when I use the 'hot' option on the washer on the first few washes.... well, that was an exaggeration... many of mine, and I own over 30 pairs.

I don't think they've ever grown before! It would be nice if they did though.

just wondered coz ive just got these jeans but their a little big around the waist but i really like them :biggrin:



they shrink, but not around the waist. The legs usually get shorter and tighter.

yeh all my jeans end up super tight... once I nearly passed out coz' they were giving me cramps - my stupidity.
Jeans can only shrink in the wash. But good quality jeans are usually pre-shrunk.

But when you wear them, they will take on the shape of your bum and legs. :biggrin:

Well imagine how a guy would suffer...

You shouldn't wash jeans at a temperature higher than 30 or 40 c. They're bound to shrink otherwise.

Yeh.... I forget. Besides, I'm in boarding school and most of my clothes have been wrecked by communal washing (explaining the need for so many jeans).

Jeans shouldn't be washed very often.

what i hate is that they fade out, ok so sometimes it's nice to get them out of the washing machine looking all faded out but i don't like it when my dark coloured jeans do this! :mad:

I only wear a pair of trousers once before washing them though!
