Made from authentic raw denim that forms to your body. The fit, wear and finish are all unique to you. The 501 shrink to fit jeans are an iconic straight fit with signature button fly, the 501 jean sits at the waist and is regular through the thigh with a straight leg. To find the right size for shrink to fit jeans, there are three options. Go old school: buy true to size in the waist and two sizes up in length. Wear them in the tub, keep on to dry. If you plan on line drying: buy up to two sizes larger in length and waist. Machine wash on warm, air dry for a classic rigid feel. For purists who like their denim unwashed: no need to size up, just hang them outside in the sun from time to time.
