Failing that I can give you my Mum's address. She's an expert as well.

they tighten up when you wash them, but they always loosen up again with wear.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. I have a couple of pairs of jeans that i can only really wear just after theyre washed or they are waaay to low.
they put them in huge washing machines with a bunch of stones. hence the name.
that's why my washing wachine has a 95 degree cottons wash?
i did some research on this, actually, cause i didn't know, and it said that jeans do shrink, but not much, only 3%, and most jeans are pre-shrunk, and most of the shrinking reverses with wear. most shrinking occurs lengthwise and not widthwise.
so it might be a good idea to buy some smaller jeans.
Never tried it though.........
