Levi's Men's 501 Pre Shrunk Jean

Product Description
This rugged, straight leg jean offers the classic style that you've come to expect from a pair of Levi's.

Not preshrunk as promised!
They were supposed to be preshrunk but they weren't. I doubt they'll fit. False advertising.

Not so "pre-shrunk"
The jeans looked nice and fit well when my husband first put them on. But, after a wash and a dry, they shrank a bunch and he is still trying to stretch them back out. If ordering again, I would order slightly bigger to allow for shrinking, or I would avoid putting the proper size in the drier.

5 Star Quality, but these are Shrink to Fit!! (Verde Rigid)
I normally don't do reviews, but this time I have something helpful to say so I thought I'd share it. The Verde Rigid is actually a Shrink to Fit jean and is not "Pre Shrunk" like it says here on Amazon. I bought my normal size, 30x30, washed it gentle cycle in cold water and dried in low heat. It came out super shrunk!!

Then I looked online and found this:

Made with rigid denim that you wash to a perfect fit and finish. Keep it dark and clean by washing as little as possible, or fade it with gentle washing. Will shrink approximately 10 percent; size up 1" if waist is between 27"- 36", size up 2" if waist is between 38"- 48". Increase length by 3".

But since I am really a 30x30 and they don't make 31x33, I debated whether I should go 31x32 or 31x34. They also said somewhere if you wear boots, add an extra inch, so it would be 31x34. I don't wear boots and I wear these jeans when I ride my bike, so I decided to get 31x32. I hope they turn out cool.

Oh also, I called Amazon, and they were totally cool with it and issued me a full refund although I washed the jeans and it shrunk like crazy. They need to move this to the Shrink to Fit section.

Also, even though these jeans shrunk like crazy, they still kinda fit although they are kinda short in the inseam. They fit kinda tight, but the quality is great! They are super rigid and durable, I've never had a pair of jeans like this! I read somewhere that when you get your jeans, you should shrink them by taking off the tags, putting them on, and getting into a bathtub full of hot/cold water (depending on color of jeans and extent of fade you want). You sit there for about 30 minutes and when you get out, the water should be all blue and you will have a custom fitting jean! I will try that on my next pair instead of throwing them into the washer and dryer. Because I left them in the dryer for 2 days, they came out super wrinkly and they stay that way!! It's better for them to conform to your legs than all your other clothes in your dryer!

I got the new pair of jeans quickly. They fit beautifully.
I'm extremely pleased. Thank you.
