Jean Paul Da'mage, pre-shrunk?

[masqueofhastur]

I tried on a pair of Da'mage jeans today, incredibly comfortable and had a great fit, 63% cotton, 34% wool, 3% cashmere if that helps anyone in figuring out whether they're pre-shrunk or not. The thing that's making me think they're not pre-shrunk is I normally can't fit into 30s period, and these fit perfectly. On the flip side I've worn 33 Moschinos that worked, 31 Private Members and 32 CCS jeans. So I suppose it's within reason that 30s could fit me but I'm getting the feeling it's more likely they haven't been shrunk yet.

Agnes b. makes an amazing pair of wool blend jeans (ok, jean "cut&quot. It works.

Went ahead and bought them, couldn't find a pair of jeans anywhere that fit as perfectly or felt as good. Well worth it, will probably keep me from buying anything new for a while. I'll just hand wash them incase they're not pre-shrunk.

They're twill, they look like denim, feel really soft though which isn't exactly jeans-like, but I think they still count as jeans. I also figure since they're twill it won't be a big problem mixing materials.

Wouldn't dry cleaning be safer, if it's got that much wool/cashmere mixed in?

How so? Just curious. Any links, btw? They sound very nice.

My mom was thinking different materials might stretch differently, but twill's a very strong weave. I guess I should have said it would be less of a problem than with any weave.

Instructions are to machine wash cold, so the cashmere should be able to handle hand washing cold. Hand washing is just incase they're not pre-shrunk. The dye is coming off a bit that's another indication it might not be pre-shrunk, aside from 30 fitting me, when sometimes 32 and 33 does. There were 30s I tried on today that were too big, so those obviously would need to be shrunk once. The legs are 32 on the JPDs though, and usually I need 30, and they're perfect length, so that also suggests they are pre-shrunk. It'd be handy if I knew I could just throw them in the wash, but since Jean Paul Da'mage doesn't seem to exist anymore, the only way I could find out is if The Mynk Corporation gets a website.
