I well remember sitting in the bath for two hours with my new Levi's on and sitting around(much to the disgust of people around me) until they were dry!!!!! They shrunk to an almost perfect fit! I was then "Jack the lad" who had all the young ladies( and some who weren't ladies) chasing him and wanting to be with him....Was it the jeans I ask myself???...Probably!!!! I have to answer. Those days were wonderful...I now wear Wranglers because they are cheaper and fit better without having to do anything....what does that say about me???
Best wishes.
