      have you soaked them at all?…somehow they still look like "raw" to me, since they are still a bit shiny (the starch that is!) in that pic with the flash turned on!...
      fits a nice one though...no matter if pre- or postsoak (though you may have some problems if this is presoak!)...

        not yet..I wanted to soak them early  so i can lay them out during the day…How much do u think they'll shrink in the waist?  I figured they would go down to a measured 33 or so.

        Stan,  I like the way jeans look when they are worn for awhile and they have stretched out a lot

          IIRC then these going to shrink like 2" in the waist, though they will stretch 1" again…the only "problems" i could see with your fit is the thigh area and maybe the inseam length...i don´t think you´re able to cuff them after the soak!
          i would go for a wash (without detergent) instead of a soak, so that almost all shrinkage is gone from the start so you don´t need to worry for more shrinkage to happen after the 2nd or 3rd wash...

            I hope they wont shrink 2 cause then they will be up for sale for sure lol  i mean i can fit 2 fingers in the waist so maybe it'll be ok.  Plus i plan on working out again so my waist should trim down a bit as it is a bit fat lol

                yeah that´s ok as well…after 30min. i´d add some hot tap water again, too make sure that the water isn´t too cold after the full 60minutes...
                two fingers space?...your waist could be cut in half after the soak...but let´s wait and see the results!

                    The waist will stretch back to raw measurement so you should be fine , iirc I got about 2.5 inches of shrinkage from the inseam after a few hot soaks

                      That might be the actual problem then…I went with a 33 which is usually ok but i totally didn't think the inseam would shrink that much...Fingers are crossed 😞

                        You could allways stretch the inseam by hand , you could possibly get back half an inch back . Bear in mind that  these won't shrink fully with a single hot soak

                          that´s why i´ve suggested to wash instead of doing a "normal" soak!…crossing fingers but i already see these up in the marketplace!...

                            Yea a wash is the way to go to get full shrinkage , your still wearing sour 0500's aren't you Finn ? Really need to get another pair myself , had to sell my pair after losing weight

                                easy answer: inform yourself better before spending 350$ in a rush.
                                learn more about this stuff and don't consume it like fastfood.

                                the waist won't be a problem, flash is right. it will easily stretch back and even beyond raw measurements. about the inseam: well you will see. stretching back the inseam is even harder IMO.

                                  you got them from SE BIG right?…normally the guys there should know there stuff and you should have walked out the door with a "postsoak perfect fitting" pair of jeans in your bag... :-\

                                            Ok inseam measures from the crotch 32.  I also managed to button the top button wet.  They fit fine wet but let's see when they dry what happens
