Samurai Jeans

[Dirty Denim]

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

They are soaking now in faucet hot water…ill leave em in there for an hour...That should be ok right?

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!

just did the hot water re up half way home

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

[Dirty Denim]

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

[Finn666]

yap still going strong buddy…just got the crotch reinforced again, so they actually are ready to hit the road again...shit, i might put´em on for the rest of the day, if i can force myself to take of my 666Sod

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.

[Finn666]

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... :-\

[Flash]

Nice to hear your still wearing them finn , the overall colour of your 0500's is soo nice

[Finn666]

my fault…but you get what i´m saying don´t you!?

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
