- How much do shrink-to-fit 501s shrink?
- The unsanforized denim is cut larger and shrinks after a soak or wash, mainly in length and slightly in the waist. Buy your usual waist and expect the inseam to shorten.
- Should I size up?
- Most buyers take their normal waist size and account for inseam shrinkage. Sizing up in the waist usually leaves the jeans too loose after the first soak.
- How do I shrink them?
- Soak them in warm water or wash and dry them to shrink. Some owners wear them damp to mold the fit, then let them dry.
- Are they stretchy?
- No. They are 100% cotton rigid denim with no stretch, so they feel stiff at first and soften with wear.
- How do they compare with standard 501s?
- Standard 501s come pre-shrunk and softer out of the box. Shrink-to-fit is raw, stiffer and molds to you, which fans prefer for fades and fit.
- What is the fly?
- They have the 501 button fly, not a zipper.
