Okay, so I just got a pair of the cheap Levi's 501 STFs and wasnt completely sure what the first step is that i should take with them. So i fugured id consult the forum using the search tool. HOWEVER, the information on these jeans, although partially available, is completely scattered throughout the forum in a bunch of different threads resulting in new 501 Shrink To Fit threads all the time. So i figured it may help to gather the links to all of the existing threads out there and provide a definative thread for all new questions and specific problems or concerns regarding the 501 STFs. If you know of any threads that i missed or forgot to post please post them . Thanks!
For all new questions or inquiries please read through the posted threads first as they may answer your question for you. Cheers!
