              I'm hoping I can get my S510XX's to soften up a bit, only one wash so far but they're like sandpaper!

                they're short fiber Texas cotton, so they're loaded with starch to keep the yarns pressed.  i did periodic soaks on my 500xx to get rid of the starch & temper the fabric + threads.

                they will soften quite nicely with wear.

                      19oz denim fades really fast for the first weeks, then it stagnates and after that…whooosh 😉

                          Thanks Mike…I will be much more proud when these are done naturally...Next i need a IH pair to do the same with.  Maybe the 555's or a pair of ducks

                          You won't regret it, man. The 'natural' evolution route is slow and sometimes frustrating, but the end result makes it so rewarding. As you said, you will be proud - damn proud!

                          Keep it up mate!

                            My new 5000vx soaking in the tub

                            could have went down to a 28 but i think these will be fine after a few soaks

                            All the measurements were spot on ( blue in green ) except the waist which measured 30
                            Ill post some post soak measurements after a few soaks

                                I had a pair of 30's a few years ago and had to sell because they were too big so I'm hoping these shrink LOTS!!!!

                                    My S5000VX 24 oz. shrunk an inch in the waist, that was after the second wash. I got a 34 and they're a 33
                                    now. Looking forward to the fit pics Flash. 🙂

                                          Waist shrank a ton ( all the way down to 28 ) after the first soak but there is still more in them
                                          Gonna soak them again tomorrow and I should have some fit pics by the weekend
