I guess I already know the answer to this,but is there any way to shrink clothes apart from a hot wash and tumble dry? I always seem to shrink jeans in the wash when I don't want to, but I have a pair which are always perfect straight from the wash, but stretch far too much when they've been worn. I've tried a hot wash and tumble dry but they don't seem to shrink at all.
Is the stretching thing a problem with modern "stretch material jeans"? I've also bought a pair of trousers from Vera modo recently, which aren't really jeans, but are cotton with 2% elastane and these are the same after a couple of hours, baggy knees, thighs and bum. I'm getting more and more frustrated with it tbh.
