QuestionWhere can I buy preshrunk Levi jeans?Community AnswerMost Levi jeans are already sanforized (pre-shrunk), so they will not shrink much after the first wash. The only pairs of Levi jeans that are not preshrunk are the ones labeled "Shrink to Fit" or "STF." People who buy these pairs usually wash them, then wear them damp to mold the jeans to their body shapes.
