So I have shrunk out of my favourite raw jeans...
do I get them altered or tepid wash and hope they shrink a bit?

Get them altered but make sure you tell them to alter the inseam otherwise they'll knacker the selvedge edge - I had this done to a pair of rainbow selvedge this week and was gutted!

Cheers for warning! I might even pony up for a denim specialist.. the time I got them darned I think the guy steam pressed them afterwards - I felt a right plonker for not mentioning anything.

jeans have been waiting a year for me to refatten up which hasnt happened.
