I´ve used the dryer on several jeans , yes , khaki, that will def. give you about 3% more overall shrinkage

[llvlaglne]

how often do you guys soak/wash?

[Giles]

Soak before wear, then wash as needed

[llvlaglne]

lol well that i know. some people are just a little bit more anal…. soaking every 3 or 4 months

[madmonday]

anal? what forum is this.

oh sorry 

[Giles]

It is an impossible question to answer.  If I mucked out cow sheds I'd probably wash at least once a week, as I sit behind a computer, sometimes it may be as much as 6 month…..l

Thanks Beatle…I'll soak them and break them in for a while. If I feel they are stretching too much them I'll give them the dryer....
I sized down from 36 in the TW 14oz to 34. Looks like it should fit fine. I have size 36 634s and they are quite big after stretching out. The TW fit is da bomb!!

For washing and soaking etc, I think it is best to go with Beatle's sage advice of just wearing your jeans and doing what you feel is normal rather than comparing with what everyone else does.  If you want to wash them, wash them.  If you don't, don't.  It is as simple as that.

Kind of like follow your bliss….for your denim...

@thomasnunnally- yes i agree with you, i was just simply asking what everyone does… i wish they'd have a 18oz version of 301 but i love the details of the BB. like the hidden knife pocket for example.

[Beatle]

just give them a try , get them one size bigger than ur 301 and be happy

I wish I was taller so my busters can have a better fit ): sucks being 5'4.. still got a couple more years to grow so hopefully !

[Beatle]

how old are you ?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

looking at his user name we could assume he's 16

[Seul]

Or from the future!..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well then he shouldn't have problems to take some growth pills

[Seul]

Maybe everything is smaller in the future!.. Even growth pills !..

[wangrichard2795]

haha yeah I'm 16.. I'll probably post up a pic later

[beautiful_FrEaK]

What did I win you losers?!
On the other hand….I didn't grow much after I turned 16...

[Max Power]

I did. In fact, I was the smallest kid in my class until I was 15, then something happened… More important: you will not only grow vertically - so I hope you got some extra space in the waist.
