 How to make jeans fit the right size

General recommendations

Jeans fit a couple of sizes is very easy. All known methods for this are based on heat treatment. But it is worth remembering a few important nuances, before proceeding to the treatment:

  1. When buying, always choose jeans that are smaller than your usual size. Already on the first day they will stretch their socks over the figure, and will ideally sit on the figure.Pants exactly your size will be a little big.
  2. Only jeans made of ordinary cotton can be seated at home. Stretch pants to reduce in size will not work.
  3. Cheap jeans made of synthetics after all reducing procedures can turn into a rag, not suitable even for cleaning floors.
  4. At home, you can reduce jeans only by 2, maximum 3 sizes. That is, from 56 to make 44 fail.
  5. Keep in mind that jeans sit down not only in width but also in length. Do not forget, and then you will walk in the style of "a little bit grown."
  6. Pants in the process of socks still stretch. Therefore, the procedure will have to be repeated again.

These are very significant facts that should not be neglected. And further. Before you begin to reduce jeans thermally, think: maybe they just need to take it away?

Well, now consider the most well-known methods that need to be done to jeans sat down to the desired size.

We reduce jeans washing

Those who have ever washed their pants on their own are well aware that they are sitting down. We use this property if necessary.Only in a typewriter machine set the function "cotton - intensive wash", and not "jeans." If there is no such program in your unit, then simply use the hottest temperature possible. As a rule, it is about 90 ° C.

After the machine finishes its work, it will be necessary to dry the jeans. They do this not in the open air, but with the help of:

  • special dryers
  • heating devices
  • heating radiators
  • heat guns

If the jeans dry out naturally, then it is likely that they will absorb some of the moisture from the air and again stretch a little. Or be pulled away by its own weight of wet tissue.

By the way, some sources claim that using handwash to reduce pants is impossible. Say, the water is too hot for hands. What nonsense. Who bothers to wear thick cotton-coated rubber gloves inside? No such, there is only thin? No problem! Under the thin you can always wear regular work or your demi-season gloves. You do not go all day in this design. Just turn on your head. And the Russians have always been cunning to fabrication.

Council Along with the shrinkage, you can lighten the annoying dark jeans.Just add to the usual rate of washing powder 2 tbsp. l hydrogen peroxide. Or mix the powder with baking soda in a ratio of 1 to 1.

Reduce jeans by boiling

Everything is simple here. In a large pot or metal bucket pour clean water. Liter 5 minimum. We put on a strong fire. How to boil - lower jeans. Cook on low heat for at least 20 minutes. Be sure to keep your pants immersed in boiling water completely. Otherwise, shrinkage will occur unevenly.

Dry again on the battery or above the heater.

By the way, absolutely all sources, as one, categorically do not recommend the use of heating radiators for drying jeans. Allegedly avoid yellow spots or streaks. What kind of heresy at all? Are your batteries at such a temperature that they burn cotton to yellow? Or are they dirty in the mud?

Yes, all our lives, our mothers dried clothes on radiators in winter; no one complained. Therefore, do not listen to unverified facts and think with your head.

Council Keep in mind that after such a procedure, jeans will not only sit down, but will also become a little lighter. If you don't need this effect, then use another shrinkage option.

Reduce jeans by parts

It happens that you need to sit down your pants, not entirely, but in a certain place. The most frequent:

  • belt
  • knees
  • buttocks

In this case, there is no need to wash or cook jeans completely. You can use the original method.

It will need any fabric softener and boiling water. Mix the liquid in a ratio of 1 to 3. Again bring to a boil. Now you need to plentifully moisten the desired shrinkage in the resulting solution. This can be done with a sponge or kettle with a narrow spout. And you can just dip the right part of the jeans in the liquid.

Now wait for the cooling (not drying!) Of the fabric. The procedure is repeated several times, heating the mixture to boiling water.

After that, you need to dry your pants without pressing and twisting. No need for rinsing.

Council If there is no heater nearby, or you shrink your jeans in summer when the batteries are cold, do not panic. Choose the hottest day. Pants dry in a horizontal position in the sun. Change the towel to a dry one often and turn the jeans over to the other side. So they sit down a little more.

We reduce jeans by the iron

If you need a very slight shrinkage of pants, about the size, then there is no need for boiling or washing. You just need an iron and an ironing net (you can replace it with gauze or fine chintz).

 We reduce jeans by the iron

Procedure:

  • On the label of the pants they look at the maximum temperature allowed for ironing. Memorize.
  • Carefully moisten jeans with hot water.
  • Squeeze lightly without twisting.
  • The iron is set to see point 1.
  • Cover the jeans with a mesh so that there are no shiny stripes.
  • As soon as possible try to dry your pants with an iron.

There is a heat treatment of the fabric, but in a more sparing mode than during boiling.

Foolish advice

A unique recipe for jeans shrinking on the web ... on yourself! We must dress up in his pants, sit with the most tolerable hot water. Then it is offered on itself to dry them.

And this nonsense is found almost everywhere. But the fact is that this is not a shrinkage method, but STRETCHING too tight jeans. Do not believe? Try to make sure.

For the method to work, you will have to not move or even breathe while your pants are dry. That's only when you later take them off, still stretch.Therefore, use the other methods described above.

How can quickly reduce jeans

If you are too lazy to do any movements, or you can not sit down on your own jeans, then the nearest dry cleaner will help you! Be sure to choose the most trashy, with a bad reputation. After returning the jeans you will not recognize them. They will sit down so that ... your new brother or sister will rejoice at the new clothes.

Doubt? Then read the relevant reviews, stories of eyewitnesses and direct participants. Or try it yourself.

Now you know what to do to make jeans fit the size you want. And certainly never throw your favorite pants in the far corner.
