      Excellent idea Brown, the only problem area is the waistband so I'll do what you suggest. There's still a lot
      of starch in the fabric too
      so once that's washed out I'm sure they'll be much softer and easier to stretch.
      Thanks for the great tip! 🙂

      'welcome, sir  🙂

      imo,  Texas cotton come loaded with so much starch cuz  of the short fibers, too.

              No problem Brown, it's happened on here before! 😉 Joan is a friend of mine, we go way back to the 70's. 😉
              Still need to find something to stick in the waistband of my 510's, looked around the house and all I have is
              plastic hangers…Will try to find a piece of wood or something stronger this weekend.

                      @Rafa: Fit and fade-wise I could totally see the 710 on you! But I guess you have already something different in mind, eh? 😉

                          The 710 comes in 19oz denim. The used cotton is a blend of American cotton, not especially Texas Cotton like they use on the 15oz denim.

                          Damn. But you'll make it 🙂

                            I've been thinking about a pair of 710's for a while now, just might pull the trigger since I love the cut.
                            Yeah, it's been a tough 3 weeks T, especially here at work…Oh yeah, I'll get through it! 😉

                                    Just put my 5000vx in for a 90 degree wash ( no spin ) hope they shrink more
                                    I was sure that 29's would work for me but the top Block is a little big , just hoping that they work out because I loss too much money selling jeans

                                      Did a second wash on my 510XX's this weekend and tried to stretch the waistband using Brown's technique
                                      but it didn't work, they're still too tight in the waist. One good thing is that more of the starch washed out and
                                      they're a bit softer so I'm just going to wear them and see if I can stretch them myself.

                                        I love seeing jeans in this stage of wear, i.e. not completely faded out. It's like the journey has begun, but you know it has much further to go, and there is still a great sense of excitement and anticipation.

                                        Beautiful stuff from a beautiful freak!

                                        (BTW my 710 just arrived in the mail…can't wait to give them some lovin'!)

                                            After the hot wash they shrunk some more , there pretty much perfect now
                                            Don't think I've ever had a pair of jeans that were soo tough to shrink , all in all they were hot soaked ( almost boiling )3 times and hot washed at 90 degrees once
