Answer #1

be careful using hot hot water because they can fade quick and look dingy and it can also bleed onto other clothes in the wash. you could wash them in cold water and then just dry them in the drier. when I want my pants to shrink I dry them, when I dont want them to I let them air dry

Answer #2

Maybe try takign them back and getting smaller size’s until you find the fit you want? …LOL Maxyfox…where talking about jeans not changing the world =P

Answer #3

Just gain weight instead, stop trying to change the world, when changing yourself will fix the problem.

Answer #4

Depends on the material. Most jeans these days are pre-shrunk and won’t shrink much no mater what you do.

Try washing them in hot water, hot rinse, and dry in a hot dryer.

When I was younger jeans were not pre-shrunk and there was an art to ending up with fitting jeans. You had to know how much bigger to buy them so they would fit after washing. Some women would take a hot bath with their jeans on then get out and let them dry on their body trying to attain a perfect fit.
