IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

So I celebrated July 4th by… washing my 666s. 40C, 45 minute Bronners soak in the tub with agitation in the middle, followed by a warm rinse. The true 39" of the size 38 had always been roomy on me and I'd thought perhaps I would have been better off trying to stretch out a 36. To my surprise, these shrunk quite a bit in the wash:
I took a picture just so everyone wouldn't think I was crazy. Yep, these clearly measure 37" now. I'm certain I've measured these before and they really were 39". I'm quite pleased by this development, but I'm a bit puzzled since everyone says these are supposed to have minimal shrinkage. I only lost a half inch in the length.

I'm pretty positive thats a patch on the knee, but what did you use for it
-
Selvage chambray.

@Licorice:
Selvage chambray.
So you'll be patching that knee quite often then? Given how hard you wear your jeans ;).

you'd be surprised how tough that stuff is. It wears better than a lot of 14oz denim in my experience. Should see me through to a new pair.

Updated evo courtesy of a chocolate Lab named 'Phoebe' that decided to charge suicidally across the road to jump all over me. Much to the embarrassment of her owner. Unfortunately, before I could grab her collar, she dashed across the road again. Got hit by a car (which stopped for 5 seconds). Luckily, she wasn't hurt.
Looks like dogs like IH to.
