Can someone tell me, how much the Levis 517 1970 rigid LVC jeans will shrink after washing??? They say 5% shrinking can be expected, although the jeans are sanforized but rigid. I don't know,if to buy my true size or to size up??? I wash my jeans in 40 degrees celsius and not in cold water. Has someone experience with that sanforized, rigid denim??
