Shrinking Jeans?

[AznDragon2004]

I'm just wondering how much can a pair of jeans shrink? Right now the pair of jeans i have right now is one size too big for me.

What is the procedure of shrinking a pair of jeans.

[Weapon_R]

wash them in hot water, dry them on the highest setting. They wont shrink 1 full size.

as far as i know you cannot shrink the waist only the legnth. but i could be wrong

Yeap, they are not gonna shrink a full size, but you can always just hot water wash and high heat dry them and they'll shrink a bit..but with my jeans they usually somewhat stretch back out..

and don't do this too much or you'll end up fading the jeans.

Turn them inside-out before washing to reduce fade.

ok. I'll try it out but right now its the waist which doesn't fit well

u shoulda bought a proper pair of pants because i doubt that they will shrink a size

just eat macdonalds 3 times a day for 10 days straight... super size everything and they'll fit fine.

just watch out for shrinking them too short

trust me man with my wasit size jeans dont shrink...everytime i buy a pair of jeans i gotta get them hemmed up its like 10 bucks for a pretty good job basically like factory jeans. if its the waist that to big you kind of screwed on that one they may shrink a tiny bit but you prob wouldnt even notice the differance.

Once jeans come out of the dryer they do feel a little tight but wear em for a couple hours and you'll notice they just go back to normal size.

talking baout jeans i remembered i need a new pair of shoes...

never leave your shoes on the rack at a pool instead of locking them up if there nice pair of fila ganster boots....you'll soon find yourself driving home with barefoot lol

the most jeans shrink are a quarter of an inch.

Jeans don't generally shrink in the waist, they will actually stretch and get bigger so don't even bother trying to shrink them.

Go to a hemming place and have them remove some material from the waist, at a point where there is a belt loop. Problem solved.

Just wear a belt!!
