Why did I just read all posts… Why am I thinking about these... Why do I keep thinking about these…

Thinking about going with a sz. 32 (read as: if I can come up with the $$$) and hotsoak whilst wearing them in order to prevent the waist from shrinking... Then after they've stretched, a second soak... Can I expect:

• 1" stretch in the waist (assuming so)?..
• a max of 1" shrinkage lengthwise?.. I'd like to get them hemmed before soaking them... G: if I remember correctly you always add 1" to your usual length for raw jeans pre-soak (cause I know you hem before soaking)?..

Seul, Ive been thinking these as well, in 32W… maybe at some point

I'd be brave and just toss them in washing machine 60° and boogie woogie....(assuming these won't behave differently than 21/23oz.)

I'd have hemmed them to 33,5" to achieve STD cuff... (Seul, add 1,5", 1" for shrinking, 05" for combs etc.)
(me injunchief shorty-legs...   )

Edit: Just noticed MIkeC had 2" shrinkage on his inseam….

Ah well… Might be my next jeans in a couple of years, unless I stumble upon an extra 500 $... Only IH purchase I'll allow myself to make is the navy duck workpants... Already have a pair of heavy jeans...

Gotta be rational...

(Seul craftily says "IH" not "Works", there giving himself "TW" wiggle room…)

[Seul]

I swear I will end up renting a big cardboard box from Ikea sleeping on some parking lot all tucked in IH and TW gear…

[Chris]

At least you'll be warm and comfortable…

[Seul]

Guess I'll have to start adopting that kind of mindset…

[DougNg]

Updated fit pics coming up this weekend. They haven't been getting much wear since I got back from NY because I've been working at home in my pj's, but they're nicely settled in now that they've been partied hard in

For your reference, in case you give in to temptation, go the same as your 666XHS size (I can't remember if you're 32 or 33 there). That's what I did, and it's working out very nicely.

The Vulcans are calling you, Seul!

32. BUT STOP TEMPTING ME!..
