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.

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.

+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. -
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.

emceeQ: you got your ducks hemmed straight away right?.. I've loved the fit of them since day 1, but have to ask: did they shrink (inseam) after some wear?.. After your first wash (waist, inseam)?.. Did you have 'm hemmed a tad longer than your normal inseam?..
They were indeed hemmed right away. As for the length, I can't remember what I had them hemmed too, but visually and fit wise it doesn't seem like there was as shrinkage in the length. The first wash, which was very hot, brought what little waist stretch (<1") there was back down to the original dimension.
I did get them a bit longer than my normal inseam though, to allow for a little bit of stacking and the option of a small cuff if desired.
Here another Quote. Mate enjoy your ducks even if half an inch too long atm. As said they need some time. Good luck

another excellent fit for the 666Ds.
