True Religion jeans are known for their quality and American craftsmanship, and their price reflects this. Some models sell for more then $300 (USD). It is no surprise that purchasing a pair of True Religion jeans is often treated like an investment to be looked after and kept for as long as possible. Getting the best out of your pair of jeans means getting them to fit as well as possible to your body, and in many cases, this will require shrinking the jeans to fit properly.

Fill your bathtub with hot water.

Put on your True Religion jeans and sit down in the bathtub so the jeans are submerged in hot water while you are wearing them.

Step out of the bath once the water has cooled down.

Sit outside on a lawn chair or towel in the sun and wear the jeans until they dry. The hot water and sun drying will cause the cotton to shrink, and since you are wearing the jeans they will shrink to fit to your body.
