Stiff jeans, do they soften up?

I've bought some 100% cotton jeans, they are quite stiff and heavy. Anyone have any tips for softening them up faster? (I think they would soften naturally in time?)

Freezer! Or leave them out on the line when it's frosty.

They do, back in the day it was the only option. Also with these, if they don't fit perfectly, you can sit in a bath of cold water and they'll shrink to fit. If you have problems doing them up lie flat on your back and then you should be able to do them up.

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles spiders don't wear jeans. Not enough legs.

I soak mine in white vinegar then wash , repeat several times and they’ve usually softened up quite a bit.

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles although the ones round here get up to some sketchy shit on my DDs trampoline.
