Hey Ry! Just to answer one of your questions: yes you can still buy STF (Shrink To Fit) in the UK. You just have to search a bit on-line. They recommend that you buy one size up from your normal waist size and a leg two inches longer than normal, to get a snug fit once shrunk. Run a hot bath, jump in (wearing just the jeans or undies as well, your choice) and enjoy a bath soaking for twenty or thirty minutes, then get out and allow to drip dry for a few minutes. Keep wearing the jeans until dry if you can (obviously best done on a warm summers day). They will shrink a tiny bit each time you wash them for the first few washes, but will always stretch again as you wear them until they stabilise. They will probably never be as tight fitting as skinny-fit jeans but they will mould to your physique and be ever more comfortable as you wear them and they fade and age. I have a pair I bought when I was in my mid/late teens and almost a decade later they are perfect. Levi 501 STFs May be pricey, but well worth it.
