stretching/shrinking denim

[masterpp]

general questions about stretching/shrinking

with unsanaforised denim, is it possible to get a good localised stretch (ie in one area- ie arse) by just soaking or wetting that area and then doing stretches or something.

also, if one does a really long hot soak and dry session, how much shrink can one expect from unsaniforized raw denim, and how long will it stay tight

cheers

unsanforized is gonna stretch out anyways , but yes it stretches better while wet and don't see why localization would not work ..it should

With XX raw denim - you can expect between 7% and 15% shrinkage and it stays for the most part - though might stretch back about 3% or less until the next wash/dry trip

Levi's always said 10% with their raw unsanforized jeans , but I've seen more ( in the end total shrinkage )
