Localized Dry Denim Shrinking


Yet Fung

Recommended Posts

My RRDS are barely a week old and the knees are starting to stretch a little more than I'd like (that's what I get for sleeping in them twice i guess).

I tried to shrink the ass by hand with cold water and a blow dryer, got a lot of indigo on my hands. I also starched the upper thigh and after I dried it with cold air I noticed the indigo streaked quite a bit. Also the denim wrinkled quite a bit.

Now I want to shrink the knees a little but I'm worried I'll fade the colour too much. Does anyone have a way to locally shrink portions of their jeans without noticeably losing colour? Or should I just be more careful next time and only dab the water/starch? Any thoughts on starching the denim without getting the wrinkly texture? I suppose ironing would be a way to go but i don't want to lose the existing creases.
