1. How to laundry soft and stiff denim jeans so they don't shrink?
I am 5' 8" and wear a 4 or 6 long- trust me, there is no other way than to stop the length from shrinking other than to at least PARTIALLY air dry them. Since my size jeans are near impossible to find to begin with, I try to take great care of them. This is what I do- there is no easy way but this works better than a total air dry at least. Turn inside out Wash in cold water on gentle- if fairly soiled let soak a few minutes Rinse in cold Put in dryer on high JUSt long enough for them to be fairly damp and have wet seams Turn them right side out and stretch each leg seam out on the counter when you do that, light run your hand over the legs like it was an iron Hang on a hanger and hang outside to dry the rest of the way, OR if you have a laundry room and are drying other things, hang them in there and shut the door, the heat from the dryer will speed the air drying up. Aslo, in the winter, you can get one of those wooden drip dry racks and place it over or by a vent and they will finnish drying in just a few hours.

True denim is a twill woven cotton fabric dyed using indigo blue. The fabric was originally woven in france from thick cotton threads and the name for many years was "serge de nimes" which became shortened down to denim. In the 1800's serge de Nimes was considered "fustian" that is, a fabric suitable for common wearing apparel used by the lower working classes. It was cheap, coarse and not fashionable at all. It was exported in large quantities to the US west, where it stood up to the rigors of life and work on the american frontier. (Cue Levi Strauss) Levi Strauss was not happy with the fit, cut and durability of work trousers available to the miners of the California gold rush. He experimented and came up with a new kind of work pant, yoked in the back, many pockets, buttons in the front instead of hooks, and he riveted all the stress points so the pants would not fall apart. They became the work-wear standard, especially in the old west. In the 1960's denim pants were known as jeans and they were worn by rebels, hippies, anyone who considered themselves counter culture and rebellious. By the seventies jeans were a fashion item and no longer for work wear only. That's when different styles, colours and weaves became available. Now in the 21st century we have even weave denim, classic weave, brushed denim, satin denim, sueded denim and there are weights of denim, calculated by how much a yard of denim will weigh such as 16 ounce, the heaviest used in clothing, to the lightest 4 ounce denim, often renamed chambray and used in shirts. At the core of the definition, denim should be mostly cotton in content, and it should be dyed with natural sourced dyes that fade with age. Denim should be tough and durable, even the 4 oz chambray. Most denim still has the twill weave, although some is now an even weave blended with spandex. This denim comes from India and is dyed using traditional indigo and is still very durable. The twill weave is what give denim it's stretch and flexibility. Most jeans still resemble the originals by Levi Strauss. The back is usually yoked with pockets, there's usually pockets in the front, loops for a belt, fly front, rivets at the stress points, and the top stitched seams with contrast thread, usually yellow. Denim can come in different colours, but blue and black are the traditional colours. As mentioned before, the dyes should be natural and should fade with washing and wearing. Within the basic framework there's plenty of room for creative options. I hope that explained it a bit better. The origin of the word denim and jean are both debated, the wikipedia article is quite different from what I learned in fashion school. The term jean is from the 1800's and is especially confusing. It could refer to Genoa Italy, or it could be from a fine satin twill made of cotton called "jean" used for corset and undergarment making. It was also dyed with indigo, among other dyes. It was possibly used to make the bloomers worn by the suffragettes and it was used to make tennis and golf wear for women. How that relates to the modern pant is not established. The levi strauss story is the one commonly accepted by fashion historians. And that's all for denim and jeans; an article of common wear with an interesting history.
