      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!

          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!...

                      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.

                                  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

                                      email Gordon at Big and he can assist you with red tab ones.

                                      @RocknRoll:

                                      to get 'Red Tab' Samurai's you will need to buy from a non-USA store. DC4 has a few models (but more pricey than BIG), and you can also try Rakuten. No doubt there are other places too.

                                            yamoto basically means Japan and I think by yamane you are thinking of Hidehiko yamane the owner of evisu
