Wash in HOT water and then use HOT dryer. Jeans usually become slightly looser after wearing a few times, that's why you usually buy it to really fit.

Use dryer to dry your clothes after washing.

I used a dryer for more than half a year. Nearly all my t-shirts shrank within 2 or 3 tumble sessions. Not really what I wanted but if that is what you want to do...by all means the dryer is perfect.

Oh what false information of denim. You break my heart with misinformation. Almost all of the better brands shrink to fit, some are sanforized which stays at tagged size. So, you are in all kinds of wrong here. |

regular 501s may shrink but because the jeans is sanforized the difference will be too small - ~0.5-1inch
we need unsanforized denim / 501 shrink-to-fit jeans |

most extreme way==wash it with hot water and use machine dryer, do this many many times until you get the satisfied result but i warn you the dye probably fade out later and texture of the fabric will ruins and not durable anymore to handle everyday abuse
most fabrics are really really being sanforized that shrink it would be too much hassle with near to zero effect, i would better just send it to tailor shop to have it downsize 2-3inch smaller my 501 only shrunk ~0.5inch in teh waist after 3hot washes |
