As the title suggests, these jeans so that they'll fit and are not bought in your regular sizing.It is important to buy a pair bigger than you would normally wear, and then shrink the jeans to fit you like they were made.



Select a pair of Levi's 501 Original Shrink-to-Fit jeans one waist size bigger than you typically wear. With regards to your inseam, or the length of your pair of jeans, you'll want a pair of pants that's two inches longer than what you might normally buy. As an example, if your normal pants length is 32 inches, you'll want to get a pair that have 35 or 36 inch inseam.



If you're unsure and have to choose based on the availability at the department store, I'd go with a longer as opposed to a shorter pair.



So when you leave the store, you should be walking out with a pair of jeans that are one inch bigger in the waist and four inches longer than what you would normally wear.



Fill your bathtub up with very warm water. You should go with the warmest water that you can stand.



Do not use water that's too hot, don't get yourself a scalding. Once the bath is drawn, put on the jeans.

For the next thirty minutes or so, hang out in the bathtub and relax. Get out and put the wet pants on for at least 1 hour. You may be a little bit cold, unless you're outside in the summer time. As the pants are drying, they are going to form to your curves, like they're custom designed for you.



Wash the jeans in very hot water once they dry. Be sure to wash them with no other clothes in the wash load, because the color is going to bleed some from the jeans. After you wash your pants in hot water, you will not even need to use detergent by the way, then let them hang dry. That's about it. You now have a pair of perfect fitting pants.
