Strinking Denim?

[sriracha hot sauce]

I got some jeans they got stretched out due to wear, and they are a little too loose now. Any way of washing/drying methods of shrinking them a little. Machine wash?Machine Drying? Thanks

let us know if theyre rigid (dry) denim or if they have been previously washed

They arent raw, unwashed denim. They are broken twill, never washed before. This would be the first wash. Thanks.

all jeans (raw or not) will pretty much shrink back to their original size (or smaller) when washed, and will continue to stretch through wear, until their next wash.

wash them and whack them in a machine dryer for however long it takes them to dry (from wet, straight wring dryed from the washing machine).

Apparently the dryer is no good for denim, BUT if u need to shrink them, then it may be ur only option. From my experience, the longer they are in there the more they shrink, if they get too small, just wear them around the house unbuttoned until they fit again.

Sometimes this doesnt shrink them all that much, but sometimes it does, its really trial and error. ALTHOUGH, after a few wears they will more than likely return to their normal size.

Goodluck with it!

ps. if some of the above doesnt make sense its because im dead tired and need sleep lol

Try it, you'll like it!
