Dior raw denim shrinkage

[chinoyboi]

I recently bought a new pair of Dior jeans in my size. I'm usually about a 32-33 (depending on the size). I bout the jeans in a 34, they're lose enough to fit my fist in the waist and they go about 2 inches past my heel. Should I worry about the shrinkage of these jeans? Because the 36 was waaayyy too big and 34 is the usual size I get. Is there any certain way of washing these jeans to keep its size? I plan to only wash these every 4-6 months

No. They're too big.

Most people actually size down 1-2 times with DH raw... so it's not too surprising to hear that you can fit your fist given that you sized UP 1-2 times. Also, I'm guessing the Japanese ones are sanforized, since they barely shrink at all. If you haven't worn them too much, I'd exchange them for a size 31. I guess it also depends on what look you're going for.

i didn't even know that the japanese denim diors actually were being made anymore.

Well, I guess I shouldn't worry too much about shrinkage. I don't really intend on wearing these really tight anyways

I'm normally a 33/34 waist. Should I size down to a 32 for the 19cm leg opening raw diors?

they will stretch out so yes if you want them to remain slim on you

if you wash your dior raws and wear them while they're still damp they'll stretch to fit your waist...so i would recommend going one size smaller (even if it's slightly uncomfortable at first) and wearing them for a week or so...they'll be much better then.
