      I have been doing a lot of training of recent and a big diet change and have lost about 7/8 lbs in weight an my 666xhs (33W) are becoming loose (soon to be too loose to sit properly with a belt) anyone know of any way I could shrink or adjust the waist in these? Obviously my training and health is more important than my jeans but I love them so much and wouldn't want them sitting in the wardrobe gathering dust!

      Thanks again

      Jord

      PS cheers for the quick reply to the last question guys! I really apreciate it!

        Don't think you can shrink that much since they are sanforised, but you can always try a hot wash and dry and see how they fit afterwards.  I don't think a tailor would/can adjust the waist on a pair of jeans, too much work and the hazard of blowing up the needles (these are 25oz.)!  If you think you will continue to lose weight, I think you should sell them and buy a new pair once you reached your target weight.  Good thing is you are getting slimmer, looking better  😉 and having a better diet!

          Don't get them taken in by a tailor, it never looks right afterwards

          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

            Jord phoned me up earlier,  I suggested he puts them up for sale and sizes down when the new batch comes in…

                                      See, this is why I initially refused to send to Europe. Just got back from the UPS store and those fuckers said it would be $150 to send UPS w/ tracking. So I said fck that, what's the cheapest? And they said $64 via USPS Priority Mail w/ no tracking. So I did that. Never sending to Europe again, this is bulls**t. I asked them why so high and they said they only mark it up 10% from what going to the post office would charge. Fck it.

                                      It was the short sleeve 16 (heavy chambray) shirt. I weighed my shirt and a padded envelope, went to the USPS online calculator, and got a figure of 14.95 $. Which seemed entirely correct for FIRST CLASS INT'L MAIL. I told the seller to ship through this service and only this service.

                                      Now the people at the UPS store just BLATANTLY ripped him off, cause even Priority Airmail would only be about 30-35 $… And the package was well within the weight limit and dimensionsal restrictions of First Class.

                                      1. Priority Airmail isn't tracked?.. I ran the number through the USPS site:

                                      Arrived at Sort Facility February 10, 2012, 7:14 pm ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS)

                                      1. 62 $ to ship?..


                                      Hey - just a random rant I guess…....

                                        so you actually paid (if you did already!) 24$ too much for this?…sounds not right at all imo

                                          I told the seller I was gonna wait until the package arrived. As of right now I'm still undecided on my next move. But let it be known that the seller is not asking for any more money!.. I'm just puzzled by what has happened…

                                            gotcha…but instead of deciding on what to do and what not, why don´t you just decide to take some fitpics and let us see if it fits 😉
