What is SHRINK-TO-FIT™ that led to the creation of the concept of growing jeans?
The key phrase in this collection, “shrink-to-fit™,” means “shrink to fit,” and refers to unwashed, raw jeans that have not undergone any shrink-proofing treatment. In today’s denim industry, many denim products are shrink-proofed to prevent significant shrinkage of the fabric when washed, but Levi’s®︎ has continued to release SHRINK-TO-FIT™ models since the introduction of the oldest 501®︎ in 1890 to the present. You can enjoy the unique shrinkage of rigid jeans when washed.
In addition, Levi’s®︎ has continued to introduce how to select, wash, and care for SHRINK-TO-FIT™ through artwork and illustrations since that time, which led to the creation of the concept of growing jeans.
Levi’s® Vintage Clothing introduces “How to choose”, “How to wash” and “How to care” 501® SHRINK-TO-FIT™ models with artwork.
Currently, Levi’s® Vintage Clothing, a reissue line, introduces how to select, wash, and care for the 501®SHRINK-TO-FIT™ model. The artwork shows how to choose, wash, and care for the 501®SHRINK-TO-FIT™ models, including how to “enjoy them as rigid”, “wear them in the bathtub”, and “grow them with a good wash”. The artwork explains how to care for your jeans according to your own preferences. The Levi’s®️ Japan website also provides Japanese-language instructions, so if you are interested, why not check it out?
