Why Do Jeans Get Weird Ripples After Washing?

I don’t know about you but there’s nothing more annoying to me than pulling my favorite pair of jeans out of the wash and finding strange ripples all over them. Like, what happened in there? Were they battling for their lives in the spin cycle?

So, if you’ve ever stood there, staring at your formerly-smooth jeans and asking yourself where did things go wrong, you’re in the right spot. Let’s break it all down.
