How much stretch can one expect after a hot soak or after the first wash?

My experience is back to about what they start off at…..

I think I'm the most troublesome customer Giles have to come across. 

But he is handling well!

I do love her, but bloody hell.  She's just lined up some of the jeans for hemming tomorrow…....

So actually one should look after the raw measurements if he want to know hoe the measurements are after some time of wear?

[Giles]

Sensible approach…

[beautiful_FrEaK]

at least that counts for the waist (on every jeans of every brand I own/ed, all unsanforized denim stretched at least back to raw measurements in the waist and always will). other parts of the jeans may behave a little different (thigh for example will mostly stay smaller than they were raw)
do you think about buying, Rafa?

[Finn666]

I always think about buying even if there's no money around (…like now!)

everyone should have the 634s cut in their life.  this is the perfect jean to do it with

Giles got me a slimmest pair of W36 out of the lot. Looking at the measurement of that pair, I think it would fit me properly after the soak.. Looking forward!

[Seul]

Cool. Really hoping it'll work for ya, ronald!..

I know the TW is a different animal, but they eventually stretched back to the post soak size on the waist.

Damb!! new meaning for working your fingers to the bone!!  the 21/23 is stiff!!

G you can put me at the end of the line, I will email you after the first of the year.

[Giles]

You are not even in the line, you're in your own special place.

That pile grew by another few pairs last night.

I like that! a special place.

You guys have a good Christmas??

Paula might have to start taking turns on the union…:)  you still thinking 38 inseam on mine so they end up 37 after soak?

[Giles]

I am not thinking - today I am a machine…..

[Just_KC]

ROFL!

I've had these hemmed to 35 and with a soak they are supposed to shrink to 34. Typically, I like my jeans to hang at 33.5 but I've read that with the heavier denim you need to keep them a bit longer so as that they fall properly. Think I went about it the right way?
