Measurement Guide

This is a visual guide to how we measure our jeans. All the measurements on our website are derived using this method. When trying to determine your correct size we recommend measuring a pair of your own jeans that fit you well the way we show here and comparing those to the measurements we've posted for each style. You may also email your measurements to us for further assistance. Measuring the waist Step 1: Button up the jean. Step 2: Lay the jean out flat with the top front edge even with the top back edge.

Levi's Shrink-To-Fit Day 4

Well, honeycombs and whiskers have began to set it nicely. It has quite a bit of stack considering I haven't shrunk them yet. The right pocket is starting to stretch from the wallet. No visible fades yet. I got some indigo marks on my white shoes though =(







I apologize for the bad lighting.

Levi's Shrink-To-Fit Day 1

Okay, so I've always wondered how well cheap 40 dollar shrink-to-fits fade compared to more expensive raw denim. I mean, is it worth all the extra money to pay for 200 dollar Nudies? Thus, I'm starting this denim diary to record the progress of my cheap ass shrink to fits. I'm planning to wear them for around 6 months with no wash/soak and see what they would look like.

I purchased these jeans at Levi's Strauss store in Seattle. It's made in Guatemala and is 31x34. I usually wear 30x32, so this should fit me well even after the wash.

So, this is what they look like on day 1. There are quite a bit of cotton pilings.
