Got some Gap 1969 jeans today. Need advice.

I tried the various fits and the straight fit seemed the nicest.
The guy who helped me was an awesome denim head and I loved his taste in fashion.
He told me how their store didn't carry the LTD selvedge and the few they did have were delivered as mistakes (they had 4 pairs, 1 32 waist, and 3 36 waist ...if only they had 34).

Hmm...I usually wear 34x30 or 34x32.
Should I go with a 36x32. I mean it is selvedge so it will shrink right?

Also, the two jeans I did get were the straight dark coated wash (is kinda rigid, i don't know if it's dry, almost a resiny wash) Will this fade and shrink?

Lastly, the other jean I got was a straight indigo 1969. Will this fade as well and shrink much?

You should go through this thread which talk solely about Gap Denim: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=99198 From my experience, these do not shirink, but stretch a little..and good luck with trying to get some fades with them (virtually impossible)

The selvedge has nothing to do with whether or not the denim shrinks.

The GAP denim won't really shrink, nor will it stretch considerably (at least mine don't).

Not very well. Mine's finally showing a little bit of creasing/streaks after about 5 months, nothing like my RRLs. If you want that, you need to look elsewhere.. :/
