Yes, like most denim jeans, the length can be altered by a tailor. It's recommended to have them hemmed after washing to account for any potential shrinkage.

Cotton denim can shrink slightly. Try stretching the waistband and legs gently while damp. Avoid high heat drying in the future.

Ensure you are washing inside-out with like colors in cold water. Excessive rubbing or harsh detergents can cause uneven fading.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
