  • It’s May?! Right?! A celebration of the 151st anniversary of the Levi’s 501 shrink-to-fit. A little history, but mostly yapping and sizing so your STFs fit just right :)

    I’m not sure of why this has shown up in my recommendation, but hey I decided to watch this because with his full mustache and hairy shoulders/bicep area he’s giving 70’s porn star realness..so I watched the video and learned some cool things (not about him), but about Levi’s. Good video if you have the time and patience for this kind of stuff or just purchase it already done for you.

    When I got my 505’s, i just asked my grandma to adjust it for me on the bottoms to match my height, and then it ended up shrinking perfectly with a few washes.

    Do they shrink more if you throw them into the wash after a few wears? I mean, what's the best way to wash them after the initial shrink? if that makes any sense

    • @daniellogansa8101
      @daniellogansa8101 24 дні тому +1

      I washed them in cold water and air dried. They shrink more, but not horribly (they might be a little tight but stretch where they need to and look perfect).

    I know shrink to fits got it in the name specifically but would this effectively work or any other pair of Levi’s as well? I’ve been eyeing this pair of vintage deadstock orange tabs but they’re just a tad bit big on the waist and long in the legs
    pls educate me further albert

      All denim will shrink, but not necessarily this much or this fast. Hot wash and dry will prob make em smaller

      501s are shrink to fit and will shrink 8-10%, most other vintage Levi's were sanforized however will shrink around 5% (probably says so on your tag). So yeah, they will probably shrink a little bit but not much.

  • @alexanderoverton2723

    What do you do once you've shrunk them to the right amount and you don't want them to shrink anymore when you wash them? Do you just not wash them?

    • @propheteurban627
      @propheteurban627 Місяць тому

      Machine wash them with lower temperature water, max 30°C and don't use the machine dryer, just line dry them. You can also stretch the length of the legs when they are still wet after a wash by pulling them. For the waist you just wear them, they'll always shrink a bit in the waist when washed and stretch out an inch or so with wear.
