If you dry jeans on high heat in the dryer, will they shrink width-wise (waist-wise), length-wise, or in both directions?

Both but mostly length, in my experience.

I find that nothing shrinks now that I want it to. Now, pre-op, the same dryer shrunk everything unmercifully. Shrug.

I've been drying mine on high. Works great to shrink the waist and thighs. Haven't noticed any shrinking of the length.
