Dear j3mj3m***
i am an absolute jeans fanatic, and when I cannot find a pair that fits perfectly, I put the newly bought jeans on, go to the beach, walk in the seawater, and your jeans conform to your natural shape, plus it stays like that!!! if it goes out of shape, do it again!!
hope you have a sea near you!!

p.s. use a tablespoon of epsom-salts in your final rinse water when washing instead of staysoft.

Wash them in cold water and let them air dry or dry them on low.
Also, have you considered that it might be bloating or perhaps you've added a pound or too. Don't mistake me and think that I'm calling you fat because I most certainly am not! All I'm saying is that you'd be surprised how much difference just one or two pounds will make when it comes to how clothes fit. I'd drink plenty of water, cut back on salts, and take at least a nice brisk 30 minute walk at least 3 times a week after dinner to help shed those extra few pounds.

Wash them in cold water and hang them to dry--do NOT put them in the dryer if you don't want them to shrink.

Always them in cold water, never warm, or hot. Allow to dry on low heat or let them drip dry. Heat is what causes the shrinkage.

Don't dry them in the dryer. Hang them out to dry.
