By keeping some basic guidelines in mind, you can learn about how to shrink true religions. True religions are a high end type of jeans that are well-known for their detailing and design. No matter if you accidently purchased jeans in a size too large, or received them as a gift and now need to shrink them, you can achieve optimal results by following some basic steps.

You will need:

  • Washing Machine (with hot water cycle)
  • Dryer
  • Towels
  1. Clean out your pockets. This is very important when washing true religion jeans. Make sure that there are no pens, pencils, lipstick, or other materials in the pockets of the jeans.
  2. Turn your True Religion jeans inside out. This will prevent fading and excessive wearing during the washing of the jeans.
  3. Wash your True Religion jeans in the washing machine. Ideally, the washing machine should be set to the regular cycle, and should be set to hot water. This will help to pre-shrink the True Religion jeans.
  4. Run a load of clean towels in your dryer. This helps to heat up the dryer, which is important when shrinking clothes of any kind.
  5. Once the towels have been completely dried, remove them from the dryer, and put your damp True Religions into the dryer. Run the dryer on high heat until the jeans have also completely dried.
  6. Try on the jeans. If they have not shrunk to your desired degree, start the process over from step 2. Keep repeating the process until the True Religion jeans have shrunk to a satisfactory size. Always be sure to try on the jeans between dryings in order to prevent excessive shrinking.
