Shrink-to-Fit jeans are part of a program that minimizes water in the finishing process. These jeans sit below the waist, have a rigid texture and feature an original fit with a classic seat and thigh and a straight leg. It is recommended that you dry clean or freeze your jean instead of washing. If you plan to wash, order one size up (1) if waist is between 27 - 36. If waist is between 38. - 48., order 2 sizes up (2) and increase length by 3.
