For people who rock 501 original fit Levis...what ya'll do for "shrink to fit"?

[Versa]

I see some 501s I really like on the Levi website but they're shrink to fit and I don't know what size to get for that? I gotta shrink the shyt manually right for it becomes my actual size?

If I'm 38 x 32 in 501 original, what size should I get for 501 shrink to fit?

Good looks.

I rock 501s but I'm still lost on all that. Good thread.

forreal wtf do you do to get the right size? the pants I have are online order only so it's not like I can try them on.

Well I always buy bigger than my actual waist size for one.

waist should be alright... might wanna buy em long a size or two, soak em and wear em wet. i break em in for a month or two... hand wash.

Get your normal waist size but get the length a few inches longer

I have the same question, I lost some weight recently and a couple pairs of jeans I really like are a little big now.

If you're buying raw denim, I was taught to freeze them. Won't shrink and it doesn't fade.

DON'T BUY SHRINK TO FITS, THEY ARE THE WORST TYPE OF LEVIS

+1 on waist, I forget what on length but they come a lot longer than they say and shrink down to size

Ritual is to wear them as is for a couple of days and then sit in a warm tub of water... then let them air dry

I dont like em personally, top block is too boxy

They NEED to do STF in the 511 cut
