I hate getting jeans that won't shrink. I just bought a pair of Levis that are the same size and style as the last sets I got and they are too big. I've washed them in hot water a dozen times now and still no shrinkage. :( What a waste of $60.

i would take them back and tell them you want your $$ back. clothes shouldn't shrink if the tag says you can put them in the dryer.

Not true. Even pre-shrunk fabric will shrink between 1-5%. Cotton is the worst offender.

Wash all garments inside out on a cold wash cycle and hang to dry.

Dry the crap out of them in the dryer. The dryer is what does the most shrinking, not hot water.

And hey, you guys should start a clothes exchange. Everyone has something that doesn't fit, but it would fit other folks and they may have something that fits you. :)

Yes...that is EXACTLY what I'll do from now on.
