Well if there is an opportunity to dry jeans in the open air. Do it this way: hang them in the shade, in order to avoid discoloration of the fabric "denim" in the sun. The thing is turned inside out. Be careful when drying jeans in winter in the cold, because when frozen, and having a high density of fabric, jeans can break.

The drying process is much easier indoors. Jeans are hung up by the end of the pant legs. This way they dry much longer, so the water flows to the pockets and waistband, where the fabric is more layered. On the other hand it doesn't warp as you would if you put it over a rope and dried it.

The more synthetic fibers in the denim, the faster it dries. And accordingly, the more natural their composition, the longer their drying time. Denim tight jeans can take up to two days to dry.

5. Do not leave the jeans to dry in the sun, unless you want the fabric to become discolored and coarse.
6. Press the fabric apart and pull the seams apart before tumble drying.
7. You can iron your jeans when they are slightly damp, this will make ironing easier. Dry denim is much harder to iron.
8. Do not put more than three pairs of jeans in the drum during the wash. Wet denim becomes heavy.
9. If the jeans have lost their beautiful original color, you can return it to them by resorting to self-dyeing.
