Ok, so I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm curious...

Would I be able to buy a pair of Levi's STF in my true size and have them dry cleaned to avoid shrinkage?

Any experience or opinions on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

DRY CLEAN TO FIT. STF is shrink to fit- shrinkage is desired. No reason to buy 501 stf's if don't want to go through the shrinking process, just buy regular 501s so you can get the fit you want and it will stay that way.

I'm talking about wearing them right away without having to soak, it might provide better results, and then dry cleaning after 6 months-ish instead of washing so they dont end up too small.
