hang  them @ the legs(turn over)…the weight of the wet cotton stretch them itself during drying

Flatten out the pants, make sure there are no major creases whilst drying.

that's the straightest/flattest I can get them to be. hopefully when they dry up over the night, it'll look better. anyway feck it! it's just a pair of pants. my only concern is the length cos now I can't wear it with my converse kicks.

I had to triple cuff mine… Check my pics here... I'm having them hemmed but to 33" so I can still do a smal(ler) double cuff... Sure they're not selvedge but there's no reason why you shouldn't cuff mate!..

hahaha I had them hemmed today but it's still too long. I told 31.5 but it came back 32.5 which makes it hard to wear with my converse now.

Well if you abso-fucking-lutely don't wanna wear 'm cuffed for a bit, have 'm hemmed again!.. They really don't shrink much/ at all… Remember: I had a pair of 801s!..

I dont see why volcano is so worried about the length of the jeans haha.. Just hem them again if there is a need to mate!

i just went down to OGL to hem them yesterday evening so i don't wanna drive down all the way to have them hemmed again. 

anyway its still damp and i went to measure it. its 31.5" exactly! its like a miracle. i needed it to shrink from 32.5" to a 31.5" and now after soaking it, it really shrink exactly 1" in length! 

p.s/ i just used the hottest temperature that a shower tap can give thats all. soaked it for around 1-2 hours and then hung it to drip dry.

Congrats! The inseam sometimes do shrink more than expected.

my happiness was short-lived. just went to measure when it's almost dry and it's 32" now. urgh! tried on and I still can't wear it with my converse kicks. guess I gotta swing by OGL to get it re-hemmed soon. reckon 31" would be perfect for my converse kick.

[Giles]

Wear them for a few days first.  Let those combs set and see if they rise a little….

[crankyfart]

alright then. I'll see how things goes. thanks a lot G. still don't understand how it can go from 32.5" to 31.5" and then back to 32".

seem like a yoyo. up down up down.

[davito]

+1 with G. Give them time to settle a bit mate imho

I know mate. but all my jeans are hemmed to 31.5" which is perfect for any footwear I have. plus I somehow feel stacking doesn't really suit the look of duck. hmm, nevermind I'll see how it goes. thanks for the advices. appreciate it.

[MikeC]

Once the duck settles (which can take a few months), stacking looks awesome.

[crankyfart]

anyway i remember there was a sample piece which was sold quite awhile back yeah? any updates on the evo? pics would be greatly appreciated. 

[MikeC]
