Sanforizing/Shrinkage question

Recommended Posts

I recently got a pair of jeans from the Jean Shop in NYC. They're 1 wash as far as I can tell, fit really nice right now and are selvedge. I was wondering, anyone know what sort of shrinking should I expect when I get around to washing these? I know that dry denim can shrink a ton, but am I right in assuming that the majority of the shrinkage probably happened when these jeans were washed the first time?

I'm about to go for as long as I can stand without washing them to try to get some creases going, but before I put all this time into them, I want to make sure I don't end up with honeycombs up way too high.

Also, I did search around for an answer before posting this, but like I said, most posts on this subject were aimed more towards dry denim.
