Sizing and Shrinking Your 501s with Edgyalbert

It’s May?! Right?! A celebration of the 151st anniversary of the Levi’s 501 shrink-to-fit. A little history, but mostly yapping and sizing so your STFs fit just right :)

[@coupqi6508]

I'm sure these aren't as great numbers wise compared to your short form stuff but I really love the laidback, conversational nature of these videos! Can't wait to see what you yap about next :)

[@legallyjohn]

Please make more long form videos. Great production and editing.

[@edgyalbert]

Guys, it’s May

[@EdmundoAyarzagoitia]

You’re gay

[@marcofonte7246]

i thought it was april

[@davidgilmour21]

I can say this is the most accurate guide to shrink a pair of 501, thanks man!

[@Shockerboy1999]

I think the modern day style journey, more so than ever, encapsulates the sentiment that we are what we grow beyond

[@jamiesides6223]

so im a 32 waist 32 inseam and live in the uk, only place i have ever found shrink to fit levis was in costco for 50 pounds. and was 32/34 i bought them and finally know what to do so that they fit perfect. so thank you for your wisdom

[@CriispDzn]

Loving these longer format videos! Could you maybe do a video on Wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans?

[@jackiejacka]

Great vid, albert!

[@adriancheng6440]

crazy production value! keep it comin boss 🫡

[@simonpijnenburg4406]

My sugarcane 1947’s also shrank quite a bit, even though they were already washed once. They fit perfectly now

[@oscaross4324]

Please more of these type of videos again. still luv your content

[@divakingsley9020]

I’m not sure of why this has shown up in my recommendation, but hey I decided to watch this because with his full mustache and hairy shoulders/bicep area he’s giving 70’s porn star realness..so I watched the video and learned some cool things (not about him), but about Levi’s. Good video if you have the time and patience for this kind of stuff or just purchase it already done for you.

[@craftandtailored]

Watch game on point my bro ❤

[@adinruiz2571]

The levis bare butt framed photo really ties the room together albert

[@amarbinay6654]

Felt sus when I noticed

[@Mezelenja]

9:03 Nahhhh i feel the exact same way. More power to them, but I hate when they act like not wanting to dress like a character from the shittiest anime you've ever seen is "boring"

[@samuelbarros1276]

When I got my 505’s, i just asked my grandma to adjust it for me on the bottoms to match my height, and then it ended up shrinking perfectly with a few washes.

[@rickyrougs]

I saw the giant 501s in Nashville on 5/01 I think thats pretty cool

[@dw8152]

hey albert, great video! im just getting into the whole denim fashion thing and i was wondering, if you could share your hight with us, so i can visualise your fits a bit better. thank you!

[@Lfriborg]

The way he carried the modelo case, it really felt like a hidden ad

[@grombatmole]

Thanks for the video Albert! Now I have to scour eBay or something because Levi’s in Australia simply don’t sell these

[@philipbeadle6446]

It's good the jeans ended up a little long. Cuffing em is part of the charm imho

[@estebanvan4962]

what is the levis shirt you're wearing?

[@andru_5854]

It’s scary how quickly I saw and watched this entire vid

[@ChickenNugNugz2]

Im here because Vaush was fawning over you on stream and now i want to know your jean fitting tips

[@toleranceapparel]

Love that Levi's poster behind you.

[@YukalayleeGames]

Cracking vid More KZbin!!!!

[@Grandfly7]

great vid, but was wondering if there is a reason we don't see you in cargo pants very much

[@fromaugustisland]

@edgyalbert what’s the denim shirt you’re rockin?

[@CarsonsChannel]

what brand undershirt do you wear?

[@danieltrahin4172]

Do they shrink more if you throw them into the wash after a few wears? I mean, what's the best way to wash them after the initial shrink? if that makes any sense

[@daniellogansa8101]

I washed them in cold water and air dried. They shrink more, but not horribly (they might be a little tight but stretch where they need to and look perfect).

[@schooldisco5071]

[@cwoods1294]

What's your recommendation for us with tree trunk thighs looking to get 501s?

[@Manuel-kx4qt]

weird question but im a hairy mf too and I was wondering at what age did your shoulders get that hairy because im 25 and I can see lycanthropy getting more powerful

[@alexanderoverton2723]

What do you do once you've shrunk them to the right amount and you don't want them to shrink anymore when you wash them? Do you just not wash them?

[@propheteurban627]

Machine wash them with lower temperature water, max 30°C and don't use the machine dryer, just line dry them. You can also stretch the length of the legs when they are still wet after a wash by pulling them. For the waist you just wear them, they'll always shrink a bit in the waist when washed and stretch out an inch or so with wear.

[@alexanderoverton2723]

@@propheteurban627 easy, sounds good. Thanks for responding :)

[@memelord3348]

I know shrink to fits got it in the name specifically but would this effectively work or any other pair of Levi’s as well? I’ve been eyeing this pair of vintage deadstock orange tabs but they’re just a tad bit big on the waist and long in the legs pls educate me further albert

[@edgyalbert]

All denim will shrink, but not necessarily this much or this fast. Hot wash and dry will prob make em smaller

[@memelord3348]

@@edgyalbert Mr Levi’s ambassador to the rescue, appreciate it man. Shooting my lowball asap

[@xXcangjieXx]

501s are shrink to fit and will shrink 8-10%, most other vintage Levi's were sanforized however will shrink around 5% (probably says so on your tag). So yeah, they will probably shrink a little bit but not much.

May? Can't believe I have to live through the UKs second winter all over again.

[@vinifalciano126]

Interesting vid, great content, well edited ... but I can't get past the typical LA/SoCal driving to the store to buy just one thing. 🤦🏻‍♂️ (Let's hope his camera guy is recording ... and holding the rest of the shopping.) 🤷🏻‍♂️ Luv U, man.😘

[@washcubby2555]

South West US, it’s May. Still fading my 21oz IH 666. Rar sez I!

The truth is out there

[@landendoesyoutube1543]

This is fuckin creepy. Got my first pair of StF 501s yesterday. Then this video comes out.
