Almost a month in and no evo pics? It's like a poker game, no one wants to show their cards.

Considering the hassle in the Indigoroots contest there should be some seriously faded jeans around. Anyone?

hey everyone, im curious to know who had the most and the least shrinking in the waist area.
I'm wearing a 32 in BB indigo, the waist measured 31 BRANDNEW and now stretched quite a bit to 33" because in the process i gained a few lbs and lost it. Im aware the stretching is based on how tight it is to begin with.
I am thinking of picking up the 634SRAW in 31 or maybe even a 30. Any suggestions?
Is there anyone that has the BB indigo in 32 that bought a sz 30 in these?
Here is an old pix of my BB indigo.. excuse the hand sign pls
I also have a 32 in 634S. It is a little loose, same reason why i picked up a 32 in BB
For what it's worth dude I'm normally a tag size 30. I got a pair of these (last week!) through an act of serendipity i believe (order mix-up but not really as i couldn't send these back!) and tried them on pre-soak. After acquiring a number of welts on my thumbs i eventually got them buttoned up and they were a nice snug fit. I opted for a cold soak (an hour and a bit) and left them to drip dry. Again i wrestled with the buttons for 20 minutes and wore them while damp. They were tight but fitted. After 5 days wear and no real trouble they fit me perfectly. I know that they'll probably stretch a bit more but they're my second skin now so i don't think it's going to be anything dramatic. Don't know what would happen if you sized up and hot soaked them but that's my experience so far.
For such sturdy denim (i thought i'd have to get a stepladder to climb up to the waist and put them on) they're genuinely super comfortable and i could just look at the weave and weft for ages in admiration at how supremely constructed they are.
Good luck with the call! I'm sure there's plenty of good advice here but that's my tuppence worth - as a newbie!

My pair just came in today….after about 20 min enduring thumb pain and sweat, I finally tried them on, I'm happy withe the size I got considering the fit after soak and what not.
I'll update as things progress.....I'm tired.
Oh yeah....what did any of you use to leave the button holes open during soak?? I know of using quarters, anyone try anything else??

I didn't do a thing.. My thumb literally tingled for about 3 weeks.
