LEVI'S IS NOT A HELPFUL COMPANY IN TERMS OF TELLING CUSTOMERS WHAT SHRINKS AND WHAT DOESN'T.  THUS, IT HAS ORIGINAL 501 SHRINK-TO-FIT AND ORIGINAL 501 PRE-SHRUNK, AND THEN IT HAS A CATEGORY OF JUST PLAIN "ORIGINAL" . . . ORIGINAL OF WHICH?  IN ORDER TO GET THE COLORS THAT I WANTED - CAFE, OLIVE, AND TAN - I TOOK A CHANCE THAT (1) THE THICKNESS OF THE DENIM WOULD BE LIKE THE "ORIGINAL" BLUE DENIM, AND (2) IT WOULDN'T SHRINK, OR AT LEAST NOT SHRINK MUCH.  I HOPED THE PACKAGING WOULD SAY.  WHEN THE JEANS ARRIVED, AND THE THICKNESS WAS FINE ALBEIT MAYBE A TAD THINNER THAN THE BLUE VERSION, BUT THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHETHER THEY WOULD SHRINK AND IF THEY DID, HOW MUCH.  I MULLED SENDING THEM BACK BUT THEN DECIDED, WHAT THE HELL, AND I PITCHED THEM INTO THE WASHING MACHINE, COLD/COLD, AND THEN INTO THE DRYER - WARM.  WELL, THEY DIDN'T SHRINK, AT ALL.  WHY CAN'T LEVI'S TELL PROSPECTIVE BUYERS WHETHER THESE 501s ARE GOING TO SHRINK?  LIKE, IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.
