        Georgeel, way back when you soaked the bottoms of your legs, did that cause any shrinkage?  I've been having some trouble lately when I try to wear low shoes like Vans w/ the backs of my cuffs dragging or even getting caught underneath.  I think the openings are a little too big because I hemmed them up to a 31 inseam.  I have to cuff with certain types of shoes and would prefer not to.

          Sorry, but I never soaked them, so I can't say nothing about it. I hemmed mine to 33 or 33,5 (don't remember exactly) and I never cuffed them before! I did it now to avoid the snow…  😉

            I gave mine a hot soak (hot tap water in the tub) and took a half inch off the inseam and about .25" off the leg opening.

              became softer after soaking the denim?

                Mini soak for my 666-XHS.
                Hem's optimization…

                I knew I wasn't crazy… do you have any idea how long it took me to find this?!?!  I was just talking about soaking the hem to see if it tightened up on you.  If it did I may try it.

                  You are right! I had completely forgotten!  😞 😞 😞 😞 😞

                  Well, I did that "mini-soak" to have a more "natural" hem after the chain-stitching… and no, I have noticed no shrinkage at all!

                  sorry again!  😉

                                No sweat buddy, I know you have like 30 pairs of IH jeans so it must be tough to keep track of all their progress 😉

                                I'll hold out until my planned soak this spring.  I can live w/ the hems as is.  Ideally I'd like to have a very subtle 1" cuff, more like a turn up but these things have a life of their own and my turn up starts crawling further up my leg throughout the day until I have more cuff than I'd like.

                                  First off, Georgio is one of the finest names ever so I defnitely going to start calling you that if it's ok w/ you…

                                  Second, Holy Crap!!! that's a lot of snow.  Here on the east coast of the US this is our first winter in a few years w/o several feet of debilitating snow and I have to admit I don't miss it.  It's nice for like an hour then I'm over it.  Enjoy yourself and give those jeans the arctic business.

                                      You can call me like this, but the exact spelling in italian is G-i-o-r-g-i-o (with 2 i), that sounds like "Georgio".
