How do you stop excessive fabric stretching? My new jeans stretch so much that in about an hour I need a belt or suspenders to keep them on. Any ideas on how to fix fabric so that it doesn't stretch so much or so quickly? They are Levi's, 99% cotton and 1% Lycra Spandex.

EVM.I worked for a clothing manufacturer for a while. When the pants stretch after wearing a while, it is a defect from laying the pattern on the fabric with too much bias. Bias stretches. Take them back to the store and get another pair as nothing will ever solve this. There is no way to detect this before purchase, if your store won't take them back, look up Levi's web site and complain to customer service. They should make them right. Good Luck. L

Make sure you are washing them in cold water and hang drying. This will pervent form shrinking as much.
