      To be more direct…

      A hot/warm soak will give the 1 inch shrinkage in the waist as described on the purchase page

      I was curious if someone had just done a cold soak and if so can I expect the same 1 inch or less shrinkage, or any at all

        It will shrink. Probably not as much as a hot soak, though.

        You could cold soak and stretch the waist manually whilst it's drying, or put it on while it's damp to stretch it quicker…

          the fit was actually perfect pre-soak, so here´s what i did back then (coldsoak btw.):

          @Finn666:

          thanks mate 😉 and thanks BH  😘

          oh and btw. since i didn´t want to shrink the waist during the soak, i had to be a bit innovative 😉

          measured to my waistsize…

          @Finn666:

          Here are my measurements…

          The presoak ones are almost the same as the sizingchart on the webpage is saying and are more accurate as the postsoak ones since I had to wear'em after the soak to stretch these out and since 23oz isn't nice to fuck with 😉

          I'd guess you can take about 3cm from the waist-, 0.5cm from the thigh- and 0.1cm from the kneemeasurements (postsoak!) to know how these cane out of the tub, unworn!
          And add 1-2 or a bit more centimeter to the inseam length (cuz of the combs and all that!)…

              Cold soaked for an hour and a half, hung dried, still slightly damn, can't button the top button but still wearing them today

              Bulging out a little at the knees but I'm sure that will go away as they settle

                    I'd give them a good hot soak or wash to shrink them up a little more.  They look good but I feel like the fit could tighten up a bit.

                      I'd have to agree with the J-man. They look great, and the whole outfit is very smart (are those your new Buzz boots?), but a smidge tighter would be perfect.

                        Give them some time to settle.. It will mould to your body with given time.

                          I've hot soaked them twice, as hot as the bathtub will go, guess I could try again

                          They look good from the side but from the front they look big on me. They are still settling which is why I think they are bunching around the knees

                          Gonna give them another soak and see what happens

                          Yes, new Buzz boots, little large though I got 9.5UK and I'm a 10.5US. Might pop them up for sale if they don't feel right

                                Not just soak, Give them hell in washing maschine…That'll agitate 'em enough to get rid of the shrinkage.
                                And these are looser than 21oz...

                                  I think Bagley your pos fit is great IMO. Just give it a few wear and let it settle down..

                                      bagley: Fit looks okay. Sure a wash without detergent will get you rid of shrinkage big time.

                                      @ yong: Those look faded in a very tasty way. Well done! Info bout washes, soaks?

                                      why so serious?
