Again its difficult to predict actual shrinkage because it will vary depending on how you wash them too! ( Doesnt get any easier this does it LOL) If you wash them in low temps and line dry they will shrink less than say washing at hot temps then tumble drying for example. If you are expecting them to shrink a bit go for 32, if you expect them to shrink a lot maybe go for 33. Also bear in mind that the jeans will also stretch too with normal wear so you need to take that into account too, and just to put the icing on the cake how will you want to wear them. Will you still want them to be loose after they have shrunk a bit or fit normally. Excessive washing will make the wear lines more difficult to see as the denim looses Indigo. As you can see there are so many variables its almost impossible to advise anybody accurately. My advise is this, buy your proper size, wear them , and on the rare occasions they need to be cleaned due to dirt or sweat, get em dry cleaned. At least when they have been cleaned you know for sure they wont shrink being dry cleaned so they will still fit you, and they will retain their colour but you will still see the natural ware and fade marks on the Jeans. Phew!! Hope that helps

I did one cold hand-wash with the only RMC jeans I have, and it's still the same

Anyone knows how to wash Evisu jeans for them to keep their original aspect ?

The same! Try not to wash, if you do need to then simply wash in cold water with little or no soap/powder etc. If drying make sure you turn them inside out when hanging.

Probably not given Ive seen plenty of jeans that were washed and had white embroidery on them. My suggestion is rince well after washing in clean water to make sure any Indigo that has shed doesnt dry back onto the jeans and all should be well.

Any washing will cause some shrinkage, the hotter the water the more it shrinks! LOL
