Question
Do these shrink in the wash?
I really liked my high-waist black jeans from H&M but they shrunk without fail, I think due to low quality fabric. Any other high waisted black jean brand suggestions of a similar or cheaper price?

These come out stretchy from the dryer, and fit a little snugly at first but stretch back to normal. Just be careful of the zipper. After washing and drying mine, the zipper broke immediately. Never happened before with this brand...(immediately...sometimes happens after months of wear) so proceed with caution.

They won't shrink as long as you don't put them in the dryer. Just cold wash and then hang them up to air dry.

These will definitely shrink, as I had a pair of cigarette pants in a similar material and even the rise got smaller. Do NOT machine wash or dry. I'd suggest hand-soaking them and letting them hang dry to avoid shrinking. The color will also slightly fade if you machine wash/dry.

No. Washing is just the perfect fix to that stretched-out knee effect they will get after several wears

I would recommend any of the high waisted BDG brand jeans. I own about 7-8 pairs, wear some pairs 2 or 3 times a week and wash them regularly. They take years to fade - and I dry mine on high heat. Even the ones that I've had for years are still more than wearable.

No. They stay the same. I've washed them about 5x and they fit the same.
