Most of our jeans have been pre-shrunk, so there should be very little shrinkage if any. We recommend you purchase the size that fits you best before washing, and they should still fit fine after washing. To minimize any shrinkage, we suggest you wash your jeans in cold water and line dry.
Shrink-to-Fit™ jeans are made from raw denim and have not been pre-shrunk. You can find the right size using one the three options:
- 1. For the old-school technique, buy true to size in the waist and two sizes up in length. Wear them in the tub and keep them on to dry.
- 2. For those who wish to machine wash and dry the jeans, we recommend sizing up. For your waist, add 1" for sizes 27"-36", 2" for 38"-48", and 3" for 50" and up. And for your inseam, add 3" for sizes 27"-34" and 4" for 36" and up.
- 3. For real denim aficionados who prefer their denim unwashed, there is no need to size up. Buy them true to size. Hang them outside in the sun to keep them fresh. Learn more about Shrink-to-Fit™ here.
