I put six pairs of linen and linen blend pants to the wash and wear test. Here is what I found!

I washed the pants on cold, hung them to try for the majority of the drying time and finished drying on delicate, low heat. Every single one shrank to some degree.

The linen options wrinkled along the seams once I put them in the dryer. You’ll get the best result skipping the dryer with linen pants.

The linen blend things wrinkled the least, but shrank the most.

I put my favorite jeans from Quince to a wash and wear test, here is what I found.

I originally noted their jeans to shrink in the wash over time, most of mine shrinking an inch. However, I wasn't washing them properly. For this test I washed them in cold water and tumble dried on low (According to the care tag). There was minimal shrinkage (under 1/2" with all three styles) and no notable shrinkage in overall fit or rise.

They wear well, slight loosening but they don't lose shape or bag out.

The Bella jeans are stated as having a 10.5” rise but I measured a 10” rise for most styles in a size 24.

Bella Wide: 24 x 28" in Midnight Blue (shrank 1/4")

Bella Relaxed Straight: 24 x 28" in Atlantic Blue (shrank 1/2")

Bella Relaxed Straight: 24 x 26" in Stormy Blue(shrank 1/2")

Bella Straight: 24 x 26" in Midnight Blue (shrank 1/2")

Tank Top (J.Crew Factory): XXS in both colors

Flats (J.Crew Factory): True to Size

My Sizing: I’m 4’10”, and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″, and 36″. My ankle inseam is 25".
