Hey people, denim newbie here.

I live in Peru and bought a Levi's Gray/Silver trucker jacket. It was quite rigid so I googled a bit and found out that it may be "raw denim", so I ended up here. Doing a bit of research, I read that it is supposedly made of the same Denim that comes with the 501 STF Levi's, but I can never be sure since that model does not come to Peru.

It is exactly the same in every aspect as this:

except for the neck part.

It is made in Mexico, too. Now I've been wearing it for about 1-2 weeks and I have not washed or done anything to it. It has become softer, but not THAT much. It's still heavy.

I don't know if it's sanforized or not (and the guy at the Levi's store does not know either), so I don't know if it will shrink or if I should soak it or whatever. I'm a total newbie here and I want to get a good "denim experience". It is not a "slim" fit, but I'd wish it being a bit tighter. Should I soak it, then?

Any help on how should I wear, info about the jacket, pics or whatever is much appreciated. I also think the model went out in the market on 2011 (but we still get it on 2012 in third world countries )

Greetings.

Edit: The label says to wash the other way around and with cold water (i'm hoping it shrinks a bit). What should I do, then?

Just quoting myself in case anybody has an answer.

I hope it's not an issue.

Hey people I usually wear 501s 28x32 (yeah, I'm short and skinny). What size should I buy for STFs? Every website says something different and I thought I might as well just ask real users of STFs.

I want them to fit skinny(not REALLY skinny, but with the shape of my leg) or something among those lines. Any advice? Also, what's the most I should pay for a pair of STFs? They don't come to my country (Peru) and I have to pay for the shipping (should be around 20 USD)

Help is much appreciated.
