Good afternoon everyone!
Today, for the first time in my life, I bought unshrunk trousers.
Please someone teach me how to deal with them properly.
One of these days they should come to me and I don't know what I need to do with them.
Do you need to walk in them first, and then soak them in warm water?
Or not?
I will be very grateful for the correct instruction!
Thank you in advance! -
@Mikhail my way of handling these kinda trousers is to get all of the shrink out before even wearing them. So you can soak them in a tub or in a large bucket in warm water. Like 30 or 40 degrees celcius no detergent. Leave it in there for like a hour drip dry and wear it! Likely it will shrink even a little more when you first gonna give them a wash but most shrinkage will be out!

@Mikhail Soaking does not shrink the material, you will need to agitate them (like washing them in a machine) to get them to shrink.
I have not had these pants and am hesitatant to comment, but the above advice has that bit of information missing.
Personally, I would wash them in a machine, medium heat, low or no spin to get them to shrink, hang to dry and then wear them from there.
That is how I wash most of my clothing.
