About to buy a new pair of 511 denim. Is there anything specific to know, do I buy a size up or down, or my regular size? what type of wash should i do before first wear?
Go tts. And dont wash em. If their rigid I still wouldn't wash.

Ok so I just picked up two Levis 514's.
The first is a regular 514 Rigid wash. So far, it hasn't seemed to loose any of it's color, but I haven't washed it yet.
The second is a 514 Welder. I'm not sure what the difference is between the regular kind and the slightly more expensive Welder, other than that it comes in different washes and has different pockets in the back. I'm not sure if it's 'rigid' or not. Anyway, this one did have dye transfer. I let it soak in warm water and dried it, and now there isn't any more transferring.
So I have a few questions for both.
1) Will they keep losing dye each time I wash it? Or will the color only fade for the first wash, and keep its color for any future washes?
2) Will washing them make them loose their rigidness?
3) Will either of them shrink a lot after the first wash? I'm mostly worried about the regular rigid wash; like I said I'm not sure if the other is rigid.
4) If they do shrink on their first wash, will they continue to shrink even more for future washes?
Thanks
Why wash before wear? Are they the rigids?
I have just got a pair of the 1966 super slims and they are super tight, is there any chance these will stretch a bit in the waist?
Can someone PLEASE post a STEP BY STEP guide on how to shrink these 501 STFs, i havent seen any that are clear (like how long im supposed to wait at certain times, if i should wear em before shrinking, etc), and i dont wanna sift through all the previous posts looking

i am 6 feet and half tall,i usually wear a 32 x 34, but i got a 32 x 36, if your just soaking it then hang drying them stay true to size in the waist but if your soaking then using the dryer get 1 size bigger than your usual waist, and the leg opening you asked for is 8 inches
hang dry i got 32x34
dryer i got a 31x33 but its stretching to a 32

Do you guys think i should let 501 stf's shrink before taking them to the tailors, or should i just go ahead and take them to the tailors before i shrink them?
how'd you size those?
if youre taking to me 32x34
I don't even soak my 501's. I like them with the fresh sheen better
shrink them first man, its the best option
info on these?
What size are you usually? That's the kind of fit I'm looking to get.
