6. Common Questions & Fit Notes
- Shrinkage: While these jeans are pre-shrunk, some minimal shrinkage may occur after the first few washes. Follow care instructions to minimize this.
- Initial Stiffness: New denim may feel stiff. It will soften with wear and washing, conforming to your body over time.
- Inseam Length: Some users report the inseam running slightly long. If you find them too long, professional hemming can provide a custom fit.
