Weird Fitting 501 1947LVC

I bought a pair of 501 1947 LVC, and I shrunk them while wearing them in the shower. After drying on my body, I noticed that the ass/seat was very baggy. It looks like I have a woman's bubble butt, but it's because there's about an extra 1/4 inch in the ass area. The waistband fits fine, but the seat fits extremely weird. Is this normal?

It sort of reminds me of the knee area: the knee area is a little baggy when I stand straight because it has conformed to how I sit down/extend my knee. Is the same thing happening in the seat of my denim? I can't get used to this look.

1. Levis are known for anti-fit, i.e. baggy ass. 2. soak them in a tub for 2-3 hours, and dont wear them until dry. That way you wont stretch out the damp fabric in knees and butt.

thanks! i can't size down, b/c it's the smallest they offer. when i soak them, should the water be cold, warm, or hot?
