Question: do jeans shrink in length?
Answer: If the jeans fit tight in the waist when you put them on after washing, you are reintroducing tension and the jeans usually loosen up a bit after an hour or so. ... In general, you can expect up to 3-4% shrinkage, which on a pair of jeans with a 30” inseam would mean shrinking about 1” – 1 ¼” in the length.
