[shanghaiknight]

Need some advice, just purchased a pair of Gimme 5 Dry Selvedge and want to know about weather to Shrink to fit them as they are a 30" waist 33" Leg and dont want to cuff them that much. Or loose to much colour. Please could any one give me their knowledge on this so I dont make a balls up of it. Ringring is the Denim Wizard may be you could help?

There's a least one guy on here that has them (Natseoklim), so he'd be able to give you more accurate feedback on them.

If you assume that they will shrink, then you could give them a long soak in cold water. Turn them inside out and soak in a bath of cold water for at least 3 hours. This will shrink them up without losing much colour at all. Then hang dry. (or spin them without heat, then wear them damp until dry - that will give you plenty of creasing)
