I bought some Levi 570's awhile ago. The 36waist were too tight, but the 38waist were a little on the big side. My jeans have always shrunk in the past, no matter how carefully I washed them, so I figured the 38's would shrink and fit well. Figures that this pair would be the one's that NEVER shrink. I washed them in HOT water and dried them on HOT. They're still too big. Between getting them too big and me losing some weight, they are hard to keep up. ;) Any suggestions??

If you have had your jeans as hot as possible and you have still had no joy then there is little hope for increasing the potential for shrinkage.

The pants aren't gonna changes sizes after a hot wash and hot dry. You need to get bigger or buy smaller pants or get used to baggier jeans.

more important than washing, dry them on the hottest setting for the longest period of time!! this is sure to work!
