Levi Shrink to Fit

[millennialshift]

So I followed Levis shrink to fit guide for the last 2 months.  It says to not wash for as long as possible and then soak.  So I have been wearing them raw for the last 2 months.  Faint whiskers appearing.  But then I came across the thread on here and it seems that most people soak them before wearing them.  So now I am wondering if I should soak them now?  I guess if i keep wearing them for more time and then soak them that the whiskers and everything will be in the wrong places right?  Whats your advise?  Keep wearing them unshrinked or shrink them now?

 

Thanks

...because "shrink to fit" wasn't explicit enough for you?

This is probably better suited for the small questions thread.

... And aparently my first sentence wasn't explicit enough for you.

Either you shrink them now or just wear them raw. If you decide to get rid off the shrinkage there are multiple ways to do it. Myself I just put them inside out in the washer, 40 degrees and as little spin as possible with a tad of detergent before I start wearing them. 

Here's a thread with some other helpful tips for shrinking your jeans: http://supertalk.superfuture.com/index.php/topic/10341-best-way-to-shrink-jeans/. Good luck and welcome to Sufu!

Haha, Please post pics as you sit by a fire in your slightly damp 501s.

Edit: in all honestly, take bobbo's advice...hang here and read more threads; ask these type questions on more appropriate threads and wait a while before considering to start your own thread.

... or do your homework first and post on the existing Levi's STF thread.

Or since I already made this one could someone post an answer? What would make the most sense at this point? Soaking right away or just continue to follow Levi's advise?

We're trying to tell you, this will be answered without all the nasty comments and attitudes if you put it in an existing relevant thread.
