I was looking at the jeans in this link. Â I'm not sure whether these are shrink to fit or pre-shrunk (and their customer help line was not very helpful). Â Can anyone advise whether these are shrink to fit or pre-shrunk? Â Also, if they are pre-shrunk, should I order true to size or order up, assuming that the size written on the jeans won't reflect their now shrunken size? I hope this makes sense. Any advice is appreciated. Jeff

Buy your normal size. These are definitely pre-shrunk. Shrink-to-fit means they have never been washed or treated. Aside from the wear marks, you can tell they've been washed because the seams have twisted.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
