Those are good-looking jeans. If they are 100% cotton, I would take them to the dry cleaner. I generally wear True Religion, Citizens of Humanity or Paper, Denim and Cloth. They all have a bit of synthetic in them so washing them in the machine and throwing them into the dryer is never a problem. They tend to stretch a little when I wear them and fit better after they come out of the dryer. I once bought a pair of very expensive designer jeans on sale which were marked "dry clean only." It killed me to spend the $$ on cleaning but the fit held up beautifully.
